7 NC Programming System NC Program Handling NC Program Handling 1.1 General Information Regarding NC Program Handling The NC programming system supports the following system families: MTC200 TRANS200 Note: Passages which are not valid for both control unit families are identified with the valid control unit family in parentheses. (MTC200) for control unit family MTC200 (TRANS200) for control unit family TRANS200 Benutzerober_gr.bmp Fig. 1-1: Operator control using graphic user interface The project navigator (PN) provides different screens for the various system families. The following elements are used for operation in the Win200 desktop user interface: Menu bar with hot key support Pop-up menus Function key bar Control elements can be activated as follows: using the mouse, using the keyboard (cursor keys, tab key, space key, and Enter key). Certain functions in the NC programming system are protected by User Management. These functions are available only if the user has the associated authorization. See User Management, dialog box "Rights of user", tab "NC ProgSys".

8 1-2 NC Program Handling NC Programming System Menu bar with hotkey support The menu bar is adapted depending on the selected screen section. In other words, it provides all functions which can be executed in the screen section selected. The menu bar can be controlled both with the mouse and the keyboard. If the keyboard is used, shortcuts and hot keys are also provided. Function key bar Operation via the function key bar is also referred to as "worker mode". Operation of the NC programming system is based on the BTV20. For this purpose, all the important functions can be operated via the function keys. The operator is thus permitted quick control actions. All functions that cannot be operated using the function keys have to be selected via the menu. Pop-up Pop-up menus can be used for selected entries. Pressing the right mouse button opens a menu. From this menu, the essential functions relating to the particular entry can be selected. Keyboard (operation without mouse) To operate the user interface via the keyboard, the user functions known from Windows or the SAA standard are used. Operation is similar to the processes commonly applied under Windows. Navigation is achieved by means of the cursor keys and selection or by executing commands by pressing the <space bar> or <Enter>. In addition, the shortcut <Shift>+<F10> opens a pop-up menu containing an editing selection list. Essentially, this list comprises parts of the F key assignment. Mouse 1.2 NC Packages (MTC200) 1.3 Free NC Programs 1.4 A/B Memory (MTC200) In addition to all other operation modes menu bar, F Key bar and mouse click a process selection can be activated via the right mouse key, i.e. opening a pop-up menu. Essentially, this comprises parts of the F key assignment. An NC program package contains all NC programs required for all MTC200 processes involved in editing. NC program packages are available only for the MTC200. A package is always loaded completely into the memory of the MTC200. Single NC programs or NC programs of a process cannot be loaded into the MTC200. In the TRANS, only single NC programs can be loaded. So-called "free NC programs" are not managed in NC program packages. They are created and managed within the processes. The MTC200 (not the TRANS200) is provided with two memories with equal levels of rights, which are called memory A and memory B. A package or free NC program can be loaded into each of these memories. The TRANS200 is only provided with memory A.

9 NC Programming System NC Program Handling 1-3 Function "Active NC program" of the NC screen can be used to access NC programs in memory A or B of the NC. Memory ID "NC", "NCA" or "NCB" is displayed in the directories of the NC programs / NC packages only if the NC programs / NC packages loaded into the control unit are completely identical to those on the hard disk. If NC package data are modified without subsequent loading of the control unit, the memory ID vanishes. It is no longer possible to access data in the control unit, although the programs in the memory of the control unit are not affected and processing can be executed with limits. The following functions can no longer be used: active NC program, and program preselection. Modifications of the data in the active memory are induced by: pasting an NC program into the package, and importing an NC program into the package. Modifications of the data in the inactive memory are also induced by: deleting an NC program, modifying an NC program, renaming an NC program, and deleting an NC program. Note: If access to the data in the NC memory is to be retained, the modified package must be reloaded into the control unit. The best procedure is to generate a copy of the NC package and to make the desired changes in the copy. 1.5 NC Program Preselection (MTC200) 1.6 Active NC Program Using program preselection (not provided with the TRANS200), the operator can preselect and activate the active memory and an NC program for processing. When function "Active NC program" is called in the operator screen, the active program in the active NC memory of the CNC is offered immediately for modification of the selected process. After quitting the editor, the NC program is saved to the hard disk and automatically loaded into the control unit. Note: In order to call the editor in the active NC memory, an NC program/package must have already been properly loaded into the active control unit memory.

11 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator Representation in the Project Navigator 2.1 General Information About the Project Navigator Note: All of the illustrations relate to the MTC200 only. The TRANS200 has neither the OP key bar nor NC packages. The NC programming system comprises the two following parts: NC package handling There are max. 99 NC packages with up to 7 processes (process 0 to process 6, depending on the settings in the machine parameters) and max. 99 NC programs per process. Free NC programs The free NC programs are only assigned to the processes. If a free NC program is downloaded, a package number and a program number are assigned internally. This assignment cannot be affected by the user. Only the NC program marked in the process selected is loaded. If the NC memory contains NC programs of other processes, then these are deleted from the memory. The purpose of the free NC programs is to process individual NC programs. Furthermore, they can be used to quickly test an NC program in the control unit before it is implemented in an NC package. Note: The TRANS200 control unit operates with free NC programs only.

12 2-2 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System Representation of the Project Navigator The navigator can be displayed in three different views and according to three ordering criteria. There are the following three views: Project navigator as a tree This view is intended for quick navigation within the tree. ProjectnavBaum_gr.bmp Fig. 2-1: Project navigator tree view Project navigator as a list The list view is intended for the operator at the machine. The list view displays the project navigator if called up from the NC screens. Thus, the operator does not have to bother with the complex structure of the project navigator. Only those sections are displayed which are required for the task selected. The list displays all information on the various programs at the same time (see Fig. 2-2).

13 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-3 ProjectnavList_gr.bmp Fig. 2-2: Project navigator list view Project navigator as tree and list This view is intended for quick navigation and viewing of data. ProjectnavBauList_gr.bmp Fig. 2-3: Tree + list view of project navigator

14 2-4 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System 2.2 Structure View The structure view assigns data to the individual control units. Each control unit is provided with its own data area. This data area represents the process-dependent data in the processes. Struktursicht_gr.bmp Fig. 2-4: Representation of free NC programs in project navigator StruktursichtPaket_gr.bmp Fig. 2-5: Representation of NC packages in project navigator (MTC200)

15 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator Data View The data view collects all data of one sector and organizes it for all control units in the same group. The following areas are applicable to the NC programming system (see Fig. 2-6): NC packages (MTC200) Free NC programs Datensicht_gr.bmp Fig. 2-6: Representation of free NC programs in data view DatensichtPaket_gr.bmp Fig. 2-7: Representation of NC packages in data view

16 2-6 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System 2.4 Configuration View Machine parameters and machine data are handled in the configuration view. The machine parameters are used to make the basic settings of the control unit (e.g. number of processes (MTC200). No NC data is shown in the configuration view. Konfigsicht_gr.bmp Fig. 2-8: Configuration view display

17 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator Functions in the Structure View (Free NC Programs) The sections below describe the function key assignment in the various levels. The function key assignment changes depending on whether the active cursor is positioned in the tree or in the list view. FkeyCurTree_gr.bmp Fig. 2-9: Function keys for free NC programs: active cursor is in tree FkeyCurList_gr.bmp Fig. 2-10: Function keys for free NC programs: active cursor is in list

18 2-8 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System NC Programs: New <F2> This function opens the NC editor with the content of the template file. Process The NC editor is started. The template file of the current process is loaded. It is displayed in the editor window. The cursor is in the first line. The identification of the NC program is automatically initialized with "NC Prg. <time stamp>" (year/month_hour/minute_second). On saving, the identificator can be changed. The identificator is provided for identification of an NC package. The identificator has 32 characters and is saved as UNI code. The following characters are not permitted for the identificator and are refused during entry: /, \, :, NC Programs: Delete <F3> This function deletes one or more NC programs from the NC program directory. Process The user selects one or more NC programs from the NC program list. The NC program(s) is(are) deleted by clicking the "Delete" key. Programs currently transferred to the control unit (identified by NC, NC A, NC B) cannot be deleted. A message box is displayed. FkeyLoeDown_gr.bmp Fig. 2-11: Deletion of an NC program loaded into NC not possible If one of these NC programs is just being processed (edited, loaded), this function is not available either. Note: Deletion of NC programs cannot be undone!

19 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-9 NC Programs: Preselect Program (MTC200) <F5> Note: Function "Preselect program" is only available for the MTC200. TRANS200: After a NC program is downloaded, it is automatically preselected. Process Select the program selection screen by clicking function key "Preselect Program". The program preselection screen is applicable only for the current process. Fkey_Progrwahl_gr.bmp Fig. 2-12: Program preselection screen The program preselection screen displays the NC programs contained in the control unit in the selected NC memory. Select an NC program from this list by clicking function key "Preselect Program" or using <Enter>. This activates the associated memory and preselects the program. This NC program is processed the next time the NC is started. Press F key "Cancel" or <Esc> to exit program preselection without making a preselection. In addition, the active program memory can be selected by clicking function key "Memory B" or "Memory A". Difference between preselected and active program After program preselection, the preselected and the active program are the same. If branching into another program occurs while the program is being processed or during a records search due to a Jump command or a subprogram call, this program, which differs from the preselected one, is active. Likewise, the preselected program in MDI operation is maintained while "MDI" is displayed as the active program.

20 2-10 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System Note: The preselected program number is retained in the NC memory even after a new NC package/program is loaded. This number can thus be assigned to a totally different NC program which is processed with "Start" without preselecting a program again. NC Programs: Edit <F6> This function can be used for editing the NC program selected. Process The user selects an NC program from the NC program list. Start the editor by clicking function key "Edit" or using the pop-up menu; if a program has already been edited before, the cursor is at the same position where it was placed when the editor was exited. Note: If an NC program that is in the active memory of the NC is edited, the modified NC program is both saved to the hard disk and automatically loaded into the NC when exiting the editor. NC Programs: Download <F7> The download function is available only if the parameter set is active. If the control unit is in offline operation, this function is not available. If an active parameter set is not available, a parameter download must be executed. Ÿ Perform a parameter download. Ÿ Then restart the download function. The NC program selected is downloaded to the NC. Process The user selects an NC program from the NC program list. The NC program is loaded into the NC by clicking function key " NC Download". Downloading is possible only if there is no "Process active" signal. There is a "Process active" signal if an NC program is currently being processed from the active memory. If an attempt is made to nevertheless execute a download, an error message appears. In preparation, a program/package can be loaded into the inactive memory while a program is being processed in the active memory. If the NC program in not enabled, the following dialog box appears.

21 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-11 FkeyDownload1_gr.bmp Fig. 2-13: Loading an NC program that has not been enabled If NC memories A and B are available (in case of MTC200 control units only), the following dialog box appears: FkeyDownload1_gr.bmp Fig. 2-14: Memory selection While the NC program is transferred to the control unit, a progress bar is displayed. The NC program downloaded is selected by its memory identification (NC A and/or NC B) in the "Memory" column of the list. If the TRANS200 control unit is used, the program downloaded is identified by the NC symbol. An error message is generated if an error occurs while downloading is in progress.

22 2-12 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System Afterwards, the environment opens the editor and places the cursor at the erroneous position in the NC program. The erroneous NC block is displayed in red. FkeyDownload3_gr.bmp Fig. 2-15: Display of erroneous position The error must be corrected in the editor. Then the editor can be exited. The loading procedure continues automatically. If the error is not corrected, the loading procedure is cancelled. If the NC program contains commands which must be compiled, they are compiled automatically. If errors are detected during compilation, the download is interrupted. The error is handled in the same way as is an error during downloading. If the NC program to be downloaded is just being processed (editor), it is not possible to download this specific NC program.

23 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-13 FkeyDownload1_gr.bmp Fig. 2-16: Loading an NC program just being processed not possible NC Programs: Upload < >>/F7> Successful completion of the download is displayed by the GUI. This function loads one or more NC programs from the NC into the NC program directory of the interface. The TRANS200 has only one memory in which no more than one NC program at a time can be located. Process The upload procedure is started by clicking function key " NC Upload". If there is an NC program in both memories of the control unit (only for the MTC200 control unit), the memory selection box is opened; here, the user must decide from which memory the data are to be loaded. If there are NC programs in only one memory (no more than one NC program for the TRANS200), these are immediately loaded from the corresponding memory. If there is no NC program in the memory, a message is issued and the upload procedure is terminated. A progress bar is displayed during the transfer of the NC program from the control unit to the NC program directory of the interface; the bar disappears automatically when the upload procedure is complete. If the user presses the "Cancel" button which is contained in the dialog box with the progress bar, the upload procedure is cancelled immediately. There are two types of complete uploads: 1. NC program upload creation A new "active" NC program is created in the GUI. This requires that the GUI does not contain any NC program having the same name as the NC program from the control unit. The NC program is transferred from the control unit to the NC program directory of the GUI and is provided with the name and date of the original NC program. 2. NC program upload update An existing NC program is updated in the GUI. This requires that an NC program exists in the GUI which has the same name as the active NC program in the control unit, but does not have the same contents.

24 2-14 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System NC Programs: Data Handling <F4> NC Programs: Exit Navigator <F9> After the question for overwriting has been confirmed, the NC program is updated and is provided with the date of the NC program in the control unit. After the upload, the NC program loaded from the control unit is identified as a "loaded" NC program (a loaded NC program is identified with bitmap "NC" in the TRANS200 and with bitmaps "NC A" or "NC B" in the MTC). Function key "Data Handling" permits branching to the next level of the function key bar. The project navigator is closed. The window that was active last will be activated in the foreground. Note: Open NC editors will stay open. They can be selected using the "Window" menu item. NC Programs: Import <F4/F2> An NC program can be imported from a physical data carrier to the current directory of NC programs in the project navigator. Importing is possible for an NC program that was exported in the internal format of the machine tool interface with versions V18-V19 ("*.dat") or V20-V22 ("*.npg") or in version V22 as a text file in UNI code ("*.uni") or ASCII code ("*.txt"). Furthermore, this function permits the user to load a text file (UNICODE or ASCII with or without NC block numbers), which has been created in "text" format (TXT) using an external editor ("NOTEPAD"), into the internal NC program directory of the GUI. The text file should comply with a format specified by Rexroth Indramat (file header). If there is no file header, the data are supplemented automatically. Any missing data must be entered. Process Call the function by clicking function key "Import". A dialog box appears, permitting the user to select the source (drive, directory path and name of the file to be imported). An additional dialog box can be used to enter the identifier. The file name is preassigned as the identifier. If the identifier is already available for the process selected, the system returns to the dialog box for entering the identifier. A checkbox in the dialog box can be used to define whether the editor is to be opened automatically thereafter. Default value: "Activated". NC Programs: Export <F4/F3> One or more NC programs can be exported from the current directory of NC programs in the project navigator to a physical data carrier. Process The programs to be exported are to be selected from the current directory of NC programs. After the Export function is called, a file dialog box is opened in which the drive directory, file name and file type can be selected. The file type is used to determine the export format of the NC program. NC programs can be exported in the internal format which is valid for NC

25 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-15 NC Programs: Rename <F4/F4> program as of version V20 of the machine tool interface ("*.npg") and as text files in UNI code ("*.uni") and ASCII code ("*.txt"). When several NC programs are selected, their identifications are used for the exported NC programs; the specification of the program name in the dialog box field is ignored. The drive directory is saved by the program and is set as the default setting the next time that the file dialog box is called. This function renames an NC program. Process A dialog box field is displayed, in which another unique identifier can be assigned for the program marked in the directory of NC programs. If the selected NC program is loaded in the NC and is located in the active memory, this function is not available. NC Programs: Copy <F4/F5> This function copies one or more NC programs to the clipboard. Process The user selects one or more NC programs from the NC program list. The NC program(s) is(are) copied to the clipboard by clicking function key "Copy". NC Programs: Paste <F4/F6> This function pastes the NC programs contained in the clipboard to the current NC program directory of the GUI. Process This function is called by pressing the "Paste" function key. The NC program(s) is(are) included in the NC directory structure of the process selected. The following dialog box is displayed: FkeyEinfügen1_gr.bmp Fig. 2-17: Identifier for pasted NC program

26 2-16 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System NC Programs: Cut <F4/F7> It is checked whether the identifier is already present in the process. If the identifier is detected in the current NC directory, the user is requested to adjust the identifier. The identifier can be reentered. This function cuts one or more NC programs and copies them to the clipboard. Process The user selects one or more NC programs from the NC program list. The NC program(s) is(are) copied to the clipboard and deleted by clicking function key "Cut". If one of the NC programs selected is loaded in the NC, this function is not available. The following message box is displayed: FkeyAusschneiden1_gr.bmp Fig. 2-18: Cut function not available because selected program is loaded If an NC program is selected which is currently being processed in the editor, the following message box appears:

27 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-17 FkeyAusschneiden2_gr.bmp Fig. 2-19: Cut function not available because selected program is being edited NC Programs: Changing of Level with <F9> The <F9> function key bar. key can be used to move to the next higher level in the NC Programs: Continuing the Level with <F8> NC Programs: Disable/Enable < >>/F3> Using the ">>" key, you advance within one operation level. This function enables/disables an identifier in regard to the test status of this file. If the file is disabled, a warning is displayed on loading into the NC (see NC Programs: Download <F7>). Process The user selects an NC program from the NC program list. The NC program can be enabled for use or an enabled NC program can be disabled by clicking function key "Disable/Enable". In the list, the concerned item appears in the column "Disabled". The default setting is "Enabled". A disabled program is marked by an "X" in the "Disabled" column.

28 2-18 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System 2.6 Functions in the NC Package Structure View The sections below describe the function key assignment in the various levels. The function key assignment changes depending on whether the active cursor is positioned in the tree or in the list view. PaketStrukturTree_gr.bmp Fig. 2-20: Structure view: cursor in tree PaketStrukturList_gr.bmp Fig. 2-21: Structure view: cursor in list

29 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-19 NC Packages: General Information Description Number Package number Identifier An NC package comprises all NC programs required for processing a "workpiece" for all processes involved. The number of NC packages is limited to 99. Each NC package is uniquely identifiable by its package number and identifier. The NC package number is a number between 1 and 99. Each number may be assigned only once. The identifier is provided for identification of an NC package. The identifier has 32 characters and is saved as UNI code. The following characters are not permitted for the identifier and are refused during entry: /, \, :, The identifier may be used, for instance, for classification or as a sorting and search criterion. NC Packages: New <F2> This function creates a new empty NC package. Process This function is called by pressing the "New" function key. A dialog box appears, where the package number and the identifier of the NC package must be entered. The first unassigned NC package number and a unique NC package identifier are already specified. The user can change the package number and identifier. PaketNeu_gr.bmp Fig. 2-22: Enter identifier Any already available package numbers are rejected. The following message box is displayed:

30 2-20 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System PaketNeu1_gr.bmp Fig. 2-23: Unallowed package number NC Packages: Delete <F3> The input dialog reappears; the package is created after a valid number has been entered. This function deletes the NC package selected. Process Select an NC package from the list (or tree) containing the NC packages. The function is selected via the "Delete" F key. If the package is in the active memory, this function is not available. Note: Deletion of NC packages cannot be undone! NC Packages: Data Handling <F4> NC Packages: Preselect Program <F5> NC Packages: Download <F7> The function key "Data Handling" permits branching to the next level of the function key bar. See 2.5 Functions in the Structure View (Free NC Programs). The download function is available only if the parameter set is active. If the control unit is in offline operation, this function is not available. If an active parameter set is not available, a parameter download must be executed. Ÿ Perform a parameter download. Ÿ Then restart the NC package download function.

31 NC Programming System Representation in the Project Navigator 2-21 Transferring an NC package to the NC Select an NC package from the list (or tree) containing the NC packages. The package is loaded into the NC by clicking function key " NC Download". Downloading is possible only if there is no "Process active" signal. There is a "Process active" signal if an NC program is currently being processed from the active memory. If an attempt is made to nevertheless execute a download, an error message appears. In preparation, a program/package can be loaded into the inactive memory while a program is being processed in the active memory. If an NC program of the package has not yet been enabled, the following dialog box appears. PaketDownFehl_gr.bmp Fig. 2-24: Loading a package with a disabled NC program The download is interrupted. The disabled NC program must first be enabled. The package can also be loaded into the control unit only if there is no NC program with status "E" (syntax or compiler error) in a program directory of the packages.

32 2-22 Representation in the Project Navigator NC Programming System Then a dialog box for selecting the memory appears. PaketDown_gr.bmp Fig. 2-25: Memory selection NC Packages: Package Content After confirmation, the progress bar is displayed: An error message is generated if an error occurs during downloading in an NC program. In this event, the GUI opens the editor with the corresponding NC program and positions the cursor at the error position in the program. The defective NC block is displayed in red. The error must be corrected in the editor. Then the editor can be exited. The package is transferred automatically to the control unit. If the error is not corrected, the loading procedure is cancelled. If the NC package contains NC programs which must be compiled, this compilation occurs automatically. If errors are detected during compilation, the download is interrupted. The error is handled in the same way as is an error during downloading. If one of the NC programs contained in the package to be downloaded is just being processed (editor), it is not possible to download this specific package. The NC package downloaded is selected by its memory name (A and/or B) in the "Memory" column of the list. Successful completion of the download is displayed by the GUI. This function displays the content of an NC package. The next level displayed is the process level. As a precondition for this level, a parameter set must be available. Use the process level to make your selection and then return to the package content list. The content of a process is an NC program directory. Using keys <F8> (<Enter>) or <F7> (<Backspace>), it is possible to navigate within the packages.

37 NC Programming System NC Editor NC Editor 3.1 NC Editor Overview The NC editor contains two optional views for processing an NC program. Editor view Assistant view This view permits editing of the entire NC program as desired (as with a text editor). The assistant view permits editing of each single line of the NC program with the help of an "assistant". The assistant guides the user such that only syntactically correct NC blocks can be created. An already existing NC block is first interpreted and then assigned to the appropriate "tabs". If a unique assignment is not possible in this process, the block is offered for free "editing" in an editing field. Only in this case is it possible to edit the line directly. If an empty block or a block which has just been pasted is concerned, all dialog elements are in their initialization state. After actuation of the dialog elements, the NC words assigned to them are pasted into the block, deleted or overwritten. The assistant view also provides an NC program view. There, the entire program can be viewed, as is the case in the editor view, but cannot be edited character by character. This view permits navigation across the entire program as well as deleting and pasting line by line. The NC assistant is not available for the MTC200. Note: The NC assistant is available for the MTC with only a limited range of functions. If the MTC200 is concerned, the NC editor view can be changed from one view to the other at any time by using the menu bar, i.e. "View NC Assistant / NC Editor"" as well as by clicking the "NC Assistant" and "NC Program" function keys respectively. If the TRANS200 is concerned, the "Assistant view" is always set. By clicking the <F4> key, "NC Program Index", the user can return to the respective directory. The editor remains open and can be reactivated using the "Window" menu. The NC editor (irrespective of whether the editor or assistant view is selected) is capable of working with several windows and is fully aligned with the Windows standard as regards the usual key combinations (selecting, block commands, search, etc.). It has the following basic characteristics: Basic mechanisms to avoid data loss (BAK files). Navigation: character by character, word by word, line by line, Home, End, and via search function. Scroll function using scroll bar, cursor positioning, and keys. Selection: character by character, word by word, line by line, entire file. Restriction: If several lines are selected, only complete lines are enclosed by the block. Block numbering: After each alteration, the NC blocks are renumbered.

38 3-2 NC Editor NC Programming System Editor_gr.bmp Fig. 3-1: Editor with menu, function key bar, and pop-up menu Active NC program Editor commands If the NC program concerned is detected to be an active (loaded) program, the download process is automatically activated after saving. Beforehand, it is checked whether all requirements for downloading are complied with. If downloading is not possible (active process), proceed as follows to avoid a loss of data: Free NC program Copy the entire program contents to the clipboard. Move to the program directory. Create a new NC program. Paste the contents of the clipboard into the new program. NC program in package Copy the entire program contents to the clipboard. Move to the package directory. Create a new NC package. Create a new NC program. Paste the contents of the clipboard into the new program. Commands can be selected via the menu bar, the pop-up menu, the function keys, using shortcuts. The list of commands provided is dependent on the section of the graphic user interface where the cursor is positioned.

39 NC Programming System NC Editor 3-3 Syntax highlighting Syntax highlighting displays NC block components in different colors according to their syntactic meaning and their status (erroneous or unalterable). Differentiation is made among: NC words comments and notes NC block numbers Label agreements Macros T numbers errors (recognized after a program download and breaching of certain simple syntactic rules that are recognized in the editor). Note: The positions where macros are used can have the color of NC words under the condition that the local or global macro is temporally defined only after it has been used. The color assignment is updated after the program is reopened. 3.2 NC Editor: Menu Functions NC Editor: Functions under File Menu NC Editor: File Menu \ New Shortcut Process <Ctrl>+<N> This function opens a new empty NC program in the NC editor by means of the template file. A new NC program is created on the basis of the template file relevant for the process concerned. It is displayed in the editor window. The cursor is at the start of the first line. The name of the NC program is automatically initialized with "NC Prg <time stamp>". Also refer to the template file described in section 2.1, General Information About the Project Navigator. NC Editor: File Menu \ Save Shortcut Process <Ctrl>+<S> This function saves the NC program in the internal directories of the graphic user interface. If the NC program has been newly created, a dialog box appears in which the user can assign an identifier and, if it is a program within an NC program package, a program number to the NC program:

40 3-4 NC Editor NC Programming System Editor1_gr.bmp Fig. 3-2: Dialog box for saving an NC program The identifier is already set to "NC Prg <time stamp>" (year/month_hour/minute_second), but can be modified by the user. The entry field for the NC program number always provides the first free number in the current directory. The <Cancel> button aborts the function "Save". When the <Ok> button is pressed, the program is stored in the NC program directory under the identifier shown. NC Editor: File Menu \ Print Shortcut <Ctrl>+<P> This function prints the NC program. NC programs are printed using the general print component. For detailed information on the process and form of the printout, see the description of the printing component. NC Editor: File Menu \ Exit NC Editor This function exits the open NC editor. Process: If the NC program opened by the user has been newly created, a dialog box appears for entering an identifier and, within an NC program package, for entering the program number. The identifier is already set to "NC Prg <time stamp>" (year/month_hour/minute_second); the program number is preset with the first free number in the directory. The box has three buttons: <Ok> saves the program under the desired identifier and closes the editor, <Cancel> returns to the editor without saving, and <Do not save> rejects the contents of the file and closes the editor. If a previously existing program containing unsaved changes is edited, a dialog box (Yes, No, Cancel) requests the user to decide whether he wishes to save the changes made. The <Cancel> button aborts the function "Exit". If the <No> button is selected, the changes are discarded and the NC editor is closed. If the <Yes> button is selected, the NC program is saved; then the editor is closed. If the NC program to be saved is one that has been loaded into

41 NC Programming System NC Editor 3-5 the NC (in the MTC200 with the limitation that the loaded program must be a component of the currently active program memory A or B), the "Download" function is automatically executed after saving. Note: To ensure that the automatic download functions correctly, the active memory may not be switched between A and B on the MTC200 after opening the loaded NC program. Downloading can also be started after a delay if other loaded NC programs of the device are open at the time of exiting. NC Editor: File Menu \ Exit All NC Editors This function closes all opened NC editors. Process (for each editor window) If an NC program or cycle program that is opened by the user contains unsaved changes, the user is requested in a dialog box for each program, such as under "Exit NC Editor", to decide whether he wants to save the changes; in the case of new programs, he must also decide under which identifier and, if required, under which program number it is to be saved (only for packages for the MTC200). The "Exit All NC Editors" function is not available if the programs to be saved include both loaded NC programs and loaded cycles or loaded programs that are distributed over several devices. Functions of the Edit Menu NC Editor: Edit Menu \ Undo Shortcut <Ctrl>+<Z> This function permits undoing of a limited number of editing steps. With this function, the modifications of individual lines can be undone (delete line, paste line, editing procedures within a line, as well as cutting, pasting and deleting blocks that cover one or more lines). NC Editor: Edit Menu \ Redo Shortcut <Ctrl>+<Y> This function permits redoing editing steps which have been undone. NC Editor: Edit Menu \ Cut (Block) Shortcut <Ctrl>+<X> The area selected is copied to the clipboard and deleted in the NC program. After that, the block numbers are updated. NC Editor: Edit Menu \ Copy (Block) Shortcut <Ctrl>+<C> The highlighted section is copied into the clipboard. NC Editor: Edit Menu \ Paste (Block) Shortcut <Ctrl>+<V> The text contained in the clipboard is pasted into the NC program at the current cursor position. After that, the block numbers are updated.

47 NC Programming System NC Editor NC Editor: Paste Cycle NC Editor: Paste Cycle - Overview Scope of functions Requirements Pasting a block sequence Long and short forms For frequently used processing procedures, calls of standard or user cycles can be pasted into the NC program. As long as all information about its parameters (NC variables and events) and its call are defined in the cycle header in each cycle, a guided entry of all parameters can be made using this dialog box. The "Paste Cycle" dialog box is not suitable for correcting a cycle call that has already been written in the NC program. The comments for each parameter that are displayed in the editor view are to be used for corrections. Before a cycle call can be pasted using this special dialog box, a cycle package must be loaded into the NC. This must contain at least one cycle for the current process. Especially in the case of user cycles, it must be ensured that all the information for the entry dialog box must be contained with the specified syntax in the header of the cycle. It must be ensured that any help screens that may be used are saved under the corresponding resource path for bitmap. After the cycle has been selected and the parameters have been preset, the cycle call can be pasted at the current line position of the cursor in the NC program editor. The contents of the current line and the cursor are then located behind the pasted block sequence. For the long form of a cycle call, one NC block is always generated per parameter (including comment) and per standard call. This form is the default form. Example of the long form: ;****************** G81 Center drilling ******************* ;Depth (abs) ;Safety distance (abs) ;Dwell time ;Feed N0004 BSR.*G81 ;Cycle call ;*************************************************************** For standard cycles, it is possible to issue the call in short form. In this case, comments, parameter assignments and standard calls are placed together in one line, as far as possible. Example of the short form: ;****************** G81 Center drilling ******************* distance @172= BSR.*G81 ;Cycle call ;*************************************************************** The short form for standard cycles is issued if the following entry is supplemented, or is changed as follows, in file NCPGS_NPG.INI, which can be found in \Programs\Indramat\MTGUI\Project_000\CustomData\Resource: [CALLCYC_EDIT]

NC Editor: Handling the Paste Cycle Dialog Box Dialog elements All required dialog elements are located on one screen. (1) top: Combo box for cycle selection (2) top left: Combo box for selecting help graphic (3) bottom left: Help graphic (4) top right: Table editor for parameter values (5) bottom right: Comment field for cycle description Fig. 3-4: Paste Cycle dialog box Zyklus-Insert_gr.bmp Cycle selection Graphic selection Editor for parameter values Using the box for cycle selection, the desired cycle can be selected from all the cycles loaded for the current process using its identifier (using the cursor keys or the mouse). Each time that the cycle is changed, the remaining dialog elements are initialized or reallocated according to the cycle header information. Parameter values that have already been entered are lost. The box for graphic selection is available if several help graphics are assigned to a cycle. If the focus is on this box, the help graphic can be changed using the cursor keys or the mouse. The editor for the parameter values lists all the parameter names on the left side and has two columns, one for value entry and one (uneditable) for the comments regarding each parameter. If a parameter preset has been entered in the cycle header information, this appears in the Value column.

49 NC Programming System NC Editor 3-13 Value entry can be started by double-clicking or pressing the <Enter> key. The values can be preset as mathematical expressions or as number constants according to the NC program syntax. For event parameters, the values can also be entered using the <Space> bar. Entry can be terminated by pressing the <Enter> key or by clicking another parameter. Constant mathematical expressions are then immediately calculated. Constant values are subject to a check of the value range if this has been agreed upon in the cycle header for the corresponding parameter. Cycle description Navigation If a description is assigned to the cycle, this is displayed in the box in the lower portion of the dialog box. If the focus is moved to this element, a long text can also be scrolled using the cursor keys. Navigation between the dialog box elements can be carried out with <Tab> or <Shift>+<Tab> or with the mouse. The focus cannot be placed on dialog box elements that remain empty for a certain cycle. Menu Functions Cancel <F8> Apply <F9> Pressing Cancel returns the user to the editor view. Parameter values that have already been entered are not lost. Pressing Apply pastes the sequence of blocks into the NC program and switches to the editor view. The entered parameter values are retained in case that the cycle call is repeated. By default, this function is not available if a value has not been entered for each parameter. It is always available if the following entry is supplemented, or is changed as follows, in file NCPGS_NPG.INI, which can be found in \Programs\Indramat\MTGUI\Project_000\CustomData\Resource: [CALLCYC_EDIT] AcceptAlways = 1 Note: Error-free loading of the NC program into the MTC200 memory is possible only if values have been assigned to all the parameters. A pasted cycle call can be removed using the Undo function in the NC program editor. Menu "?" \ Help for pasting cycles (<F1>) With this menu item, the online help for the Paste Cycle dialog box is called.

51 NC Programming System NC Program Assistant NC Program Assistant 4.1 Overview The NC assistant is a tool for generating NC programs. It supports the user in the creation of consistent NC programs with the correct syntax. Note: The NC assistant has been developed for the "TRANS200" system family and is an integral part of the "WinTRANS" startup interface. Its use with other system families (e.g. MTC200) is restricted, because the functionality of these system families is not supported by the NC assistant in its entirety. The NC assistant can be used to generate new NC blocks as well as to edit existing NC blocks. The menu guides the user through various input dialog boxes (steps): The user is offered only those combinations of functions which are permitted and reasonable. He is guided through all necessary components of an NC block. The functions are rendered more comprehensible by a comment and by illustrations. The components of an NC block are always output in the same order. Consistency and correct syntax are ensured for each NC block. The NC assistant adjusts its dialog box guide to the current parameter set. Before being edited, an NC block is checked for assistant-compatible data. NC blocks which are not assistant-compatible can be "edited as desired". NCASS_Function_gr.bmp Fig. 4-1: NC assistant

52 4-2 NC Program Assistant NC Programming System 4.2 General After it has been selected and called up, the NC program is downloaded to the NC assistant. The NC assistant offers menu-guided programming dialog boxes for the respective NC block in several steps adapted to the particular problem. NC program step Function to Comment steps The "NC Program" step displays the entire NC program. This display is provided for navigation and/or selecting a new NC block (inserted after the NC block selected), for insertion of an NC block (inserted before the NC block selected), for deletion of the NC block selected, and for editing the NC block selected. Navigation can be achieved by means of the cursor keys, the mouse, or the scroll bar. In the "Function" to "Comment" steps, details of the NC program are represented in a minimized window. The NC block is composed by entries in dialog boxes. The result of the entry is transferred to the current NC block immediately. When a new NC block is generated, the NC block is determined dialog box by dialog box after the main functionality has been defined. When it is edited, an existing NC block is checked and its content preset in the dialog box elements. Navigation required for entering the various functions, commands and coordinates can be achieved by using the mouse, the tabs or the function keys. Individual entries can be undone by selecting "Without" or "Modal" or by deleting the input field. The entire NC block can be reset by pressing the "ESC" key. Navigation within the NC program while entries are made in the dialog boxes can be achieved by means of the function keys or the scroll bar of the minimized window. The <CursorLeft> <CursorRight> keys can be used to scroll through long NC blocks.

53 NC Programming System NC Program Assistant Step: NC Program In the "NC Program" step, the NC assistant displays the entire NC program. The commands for editing the NC program can be activated using the function keys and/or the menu bar. NCASS_NCProg_gr.bmp Fig. 4-2: NC Assistant, "NC Program" step The "NC Program" step provides the following functions: New NC Block, Insert NC Block, Edit NC Block, Delete Line, NC Program Index, Find, Go to Beginning of File, Go to File End, Edit Block, Select Line Select All Copy Cut Insert Exit NC Assistant.

54 4-4 NC Program Assistant NC Programming System 4.4 Step: Function The "Function" step is used to select the main function of an NC block. The main function defines the character of the NC block. The "steps" and input elements required for a syntactically correct entry are provided depending on the main function. Only one main function can be selected per NC block. If a main function is changed while an NC block is being edited, relevant input data are applied. NCASS_FunctionOverview_gr.bmp Fig. 4-3: NC Assistant, "Function" step The following main functions are available: Without main function G0 Positioning in rapid traverse G1 Linear interpolation G2 Circular interpolation clockwise (only if there is more than one axis) G3 Circular interpolation counterclockwise (only if there is more than one axis) G4 Dwell time G63 Tapping "stopped spindle" G64 Tapping "turning spindle" G74 Homing G75 Feed to positive stop G76 Cancel feed to positive stop G68 Adaptive Depth (encoder 1) (only if there are axes with adaptive depth) G69 Adaptive Depth (encoder 2) (only if there are axes with adaptive depth) Mathematical expression

83 NC Programming System Offsets Offsets 6.1 General Information on Offsets The offsets editor permits offsets and comments to be displayed and entered for the individual G codes and axes. The mechanism and the application of the offsets are described in the chapter "Offsets" in the NC programming instructions. Certain functions in the offset editor are protected by User Management. These functions are available only if the user has the associated authorization. See User Management, dialog box "Rights of user", tab "NC ProgSys". hlp-bild_nullpunkte-mtc_gr.bmp (1) Program title: program name, control unit address and process number, editor name, file name (2) Menu bar (3) Header (4) Editor title: online/offline symbol, file type, file name, offset page with name (5) Label: basic programming unit, memory selected (6) Table with offsets and comments (7) Function key bar Fig. 6-1: Offset editor (MTC200)

To display the offset data of a different offset page, the editor command "Select Page" can be used to move to this offset page. In case of an online file, the offset pages belong to the appropriate memory. Dependencies Call The scope of the offset editor table is defined by the active parameter set: Number of axes number of columns in the table "Maximum offset page number" number of offset pages "Programmable decimal places" This affects both online and offline files. Use of the offset editor requires an active parameter set containing at least one axis. The offset editor can be called from the project navigator (see Section 6.3) or directly (for instance, from the NC screen). In the "tree" view of the project navigator, move to the offset index in the particular control unit concerned. The "list" view then displays all pertinent offset files. Select the file to be opened. Select the "Edit" command to open the selected file in the offset editor. If the offset editor is called up directly, for instance by selecting the "Offset" command on the NC screen, the online file of the active memory is automatically opened for the control unit selected and the active process; in addition, the offset values and comments of the active offset page are displayed.

85 NC Programming System Offsets 6-3 Note: MTC200: If it is not possible to determine the active memory and the active offset page, the online file of memory A is opened displaying the offset values and comments of page 0. Offline files Offline files hard disk. are provided for work preparation and are saved on the Online files The online files are used to display and edit the data contained in the control unit. MTC200: Separate online files are created for memory A and memory B. Offsets: Structure of Screen Program title Header The program title specifies the name of the program and the address of the control unit for which the offsets are displayed. In addition, the program title specifies the name of the editor displayed and the file edited in the editor. The header indicates the global control unit information of the active control unit. Please refer to the documentation "NC Screen" for a description of the elements indicated in the header. Note: The header is indicated only if the offset values of the control unit selected from the control unit selection list are displayed. Editor title Label Table The title line of the offset editor indicates by means of the appropriate symbol, whether the open offset file is an offline file or an online file. Offline files are indicated by the file symbol; online files by the CNC symbol. The title line also contains "Offsets" to indicate the NC data type displayed in the editor. Moreover, the title line specifies the name of the offset file currently edited in the editor. MTC200: The editor title specifies the number and name of the offset page whose offset values and comments are currently displayed in the table. The label of the table header specifies the basic programming unit defined in the parameters. MTC200, online files: The memory from which the online data is read is also displayed. The offsets and comments table displays the offsets and comments of the offset page, i.e. pertaining to G54 to G59 and to the general offset, in its first seven lines. Note: MTC200: The general offset exists once for each memory and is applicable to all offset pages of the memory. The offsets for G50/G51 and G52 which can be specified in an NC program or by entering the MDI block, as well as the sum, are displayed in the last three lines.

86 6-4 Offsets NC Programming System Note: The value of the sum for an axis is the result of all active offsets of this axis, with the turning angle phi taken into consideration. The table column headings specify the axes configured in the parameters as well as the turning angle phi. The axis name precedes the axis meaning, which is put in parentheses. Offline files: The axis names and meanings specified in the column headings are read from the parameters. Online files: The offsets are displayed dynamically, i.e. any offset changed using the NC or PLC program is immediately displayed automatically. The axis names in the column headings are also displayed dynamically. Numerically, the offsets are displayed in fixed-decimal-point format, with the number of decimal places depending on the process parameters. Here, the parameter "Programmable decimal places" is used to display and enter the values. The last table column can be used to enter a comment on the offsets that can be edited. Offsets and comments that cannot be displayed are represented by "--". Colors Offsets and comments that can generally not be edited are represented in gray. The currently selected field is identified by a green background. After the edit mode has been entered, the color of the background of the field changes to light blue. Selections within this field are identified by a dark blue background. Online files: If the connection to the control unit fails, the offset values that were read last but which are no longer editable are displayed in red. Offsets: Indication of Active Data If active, the offsets of the following G-codes in the table are represented in orange: G52 G54 - G59 if the active offset page is displayed General offset, if one of the G-codes G54 - G59 is active G50 and/or G51 Sum MTC200: The following items are also represented in orange: the memory in the label, if active, the number of the offset page in the title, if active. Note: Any displayed offset page can be active only if the memory is also active. Offsets: Display as Full Frame or Segment (MTC200) Full frame The offsets editor occupies the entire screen area.

87 NC Programming System Offsets 6-5 Segment Toggling segment/full frame The offsets editor (with online file) can be displayed in a segment of the NC screen. This type of display is called a segment. Segments can be configured in the Edit mode of the NC screen. When focussing on the "offsets editor" segment, the pertinent functions are provided by the function key bar of the NC screen. If the offsets editor is displayed as a segment, the functions of the offsets editor familiar from the full frame are available in the F key bar and in the pop-up menu after F key "Offsets" is pressed. Pressing <F7> "Zoom+" displays the offsets editor as a full frame. Pressing <F7> "Zoom-" switches back from the full frame to the segment. Offsets: Data Management Offline files Online files Offsets and comments for G codes G54 to G59 of the offset pages and the general offset can be entered in the offset editor and saved as a file. When an offline file is opened for the first time, all editable offsets are initialized with zero. Transferring the offline data to the control unit requires that the offline file be downloaded. In this process, the comments are not written to the control unit. Online operation: The offsets contained in the control unit can be displayed and edited by opening the online file pertinent to the memory. If an online file for displaying the offset values of a memory does not yet exist, a temporary online file that receives a provisory file name is created. This may, for instance, be the case when the offsets editor is called from the NC screen. Edited offset values are written directly to the control unit. If they are changed in the table, the offsets of an active G code are taken into account by the control unit only if the NC program or MDI of the corresponding G code is called up again. Comments are read from and written to the online file. Note: Comments are automatically saved to the hard disk only when exiting. If changes are to be saved temporarily, the "Save" editor command must be selected. If the connection to the control unit fails, the offset values that were read last from the control unit remain in the display. However, editing is no longer possible until the connection failure has been eliminated. Offline operation: As opposed to online operation, the offset values can not be read from the control unit, displayed or edited. Adjustment to the parameter set If an offline file, when being opened, is detected to have been created with an incompatible parameter set (e.g. import from another process or intermediate changes to the parameter set), this file must be converted. This adjustment to the current parameter set is required for the "programmable decimal places", the number of offset pages, and the configuration and/or number of axes. Conversion is implemented by the offset editor. During the conversion, the offsets for added axes and offset pages are initialized with zero. Axes and offset pages not contained in the new parameter set are not applied in the newly created offset file.

88 6-6 Offsets NC Programming System Note: MTC200: The number of offset pages can be defined in the parameters by entering the "Maximum offset page number". Parameter download If "Programmable decimal places", "Displayed decimal places", the basic programming unit, the number of offset pages, or the axis configuration with regard to the number and meanings of axes (not axis names) have been changed in the configuration for the process, all offsets of the process in the control unit are initialized with zero during the following parameter download. The comments in the corresponding online file remain preserved. 6.2 Offsets: Using the Offsets Editor Offsets: Menu Bar, Function Key Bar, Pop-Up Menu The menu bar contains all possible editor commands. The function key bar and the pop-up menu provide quick access to subsets of these commands. The pop-up menu of the offset editor can be called in the table only. Offsets: File Menu New Save Print Exit Offsets <F9> Exit all Offset Editors An additional offset editor is opened to edit a new offline file. The new offline file is created temporarily and receives a provisory file name. The file opened in the offset editor is saved. If this is a temporary file, a dialog field for saving the file is displayed. The file name can be modified in this dialog field. The print dialog box is called. The offset editor is exited. If the offsets editor was opened with a temporary file, a dialog field for saving the file is displayed. The file name can be modified in this dialog field; in addition, the corresponding buttons of the Save procedure can be used to confirm or cancel exiting the editor. Offline files: The dialog field is also displayed if changes were made by the user in an existing offline file. Editor command "Exit Offsets" is called in the open offset editors for all the processes and control units. Offsets: Edit Menu Undo Redo Page Name <F6> (MTC200) The previous editing step is undone. The previously undone editing step is redone. A dialog box can be used to enter names of offset pages.

95 NC Programming System NC Variables NC Variables 7.1 General Information on NC Variables The NC variable editor permits the contents of the NC variables and the comments assigned to them to be viewed and changed. Depending on the variables he wishes to view or change, the user can design the content of the NC variable file as desired. Any number of lines can be added. If an online file is concerned, its current content can be viewed immediately after the process and variable numbers have been entered. The mechanism and the application of the NC variables are described in the chapter "NC Variables" in the NC programming instructions. Certain functions in the NC variable editor are protected by User Management. These functions are available only if the user has the associated authorization. See User Management, dialog box "Rights of user", tab "NC ProgSys". VarEdMTC_gr.bmp Fig. 7-1: NC variable editor (MTC200)

96 7-2 NC Variables NC Programming System VarEdTRA_gr.bmp Fig. 7-2: NC variable editor (TRANS200) The NC variables selected by the user are displayed in the table of the NC variable editor. In case of the MTC200, 256 NC variables are available per process: variable Nos In case of the TRANS200, 80 NC variables are available per process: variable Nos Dependencies Call The NC variables are defined by the active parameter set. This involves both online and offline files: Use of the NC variable editor requires an active parameter set. The number of programmable decimal places is defined by the process parameter "Programmable decimal places" (4 or 5). The limits of the value range are also defined by this parameter. If this parameter is different in the various processes, the highest accuracy (5 decimal places) is used. The NC variable editor can be called up from the project navigator (see section 7.3 Index of NC Variables in the Project Navigator) or directly (for instance, from the NC screen). The NC variable index of the particular control unit must be selected from the "Tree" view of the project navigator. The "List" view then displays all pertinent NC variable files. The file to be opened must be selected. By selecting the "Edit" command, the selected file is opened in the NC variable editor. If the NC variable editor is called up directly, for instance by selecting the "NC Variable" command on the NC screen, the online file for the control unit selected is opened and the corresponding NC variables of this control unit are displayed. Offline files Offline files hard disk. are provided for work preparation and are saved on the Online files The online files can be used to display and edit the data contained in the control unit. The NC variables are written directly to the control unit. The comment is filed in the online file when saved on a hard disk.

97 NC Programming System NC Variables 7-3 NC Variables: Structure of Screen Program title Header The program title specifies the name of the program and the address of the control unit for which the NC variable values are displayed. In addition, the program title specifies the name of the editor displayed and the file edited in the editor. The header indicates the global control unit information of the active control unit, e.g. the operating mode. Please refer to the documentation "NC Screen" for a description of the elements indicated in the header. Note: The header is indicated only if the NC variables of the control unit selected from the control unit selection list are displayed. Editor title Table The title line of the NC variable editor indicates by means of the appropriate symbol whether the open NC variable file is an offline file or an online file. Offline files are indicated by the file symbol, online files by the CNC symbol. The title line also contains "NC Variables" to indicate the NC data type displayed in the editor. In addition, the title displays the name of the NC variable file currently edited in the editor. The NC variables are displayed in the table line by line. Each NC variable is displayed by its process number (not applicable in case of the TRANS200), the variable number, the variable value, and a comment. These items are displayed by columns. Process number: The process number reflects the assignment of the variable to a process. Variable number: The variable number reflects the name of the variable. A variable can be addressed in the NC program by specifying its variable number and, if necessary, the process number. Variable value: Numerically, the values are displayed in fixed-decimal-point format, with the number of decimal places depending on the process parameter "Programmable decimal places". Variable values in an online file: The variable values are displayed dynamically. This type of display reflects the current content of the control unit, i.e. if a variable value is changed by means of the NC or PLC program, the new value is displayed automatically. Comment: A comment on each variable can be entered in the last column of the table.

98 7-4 NC Variables NC Programming System Colors The currently selected (focussed) field is identified by a light green background. After the edit mode has been entered, the color of the background of the field changes to light blue. Selections within this field are identified by a dark blue background. Online file: If data are not exchanged with the control unit, or if it was impossible to write a dataset, this is represented in red. Online file: If it is not yet entered completely in the control unit, a dataset is represented in white letters on a dark blue background. NC Variables: Display as Full Frame or Segment (MTC200) Full frame Segment The NC variable editor occupies the entire screen area. The NC variable editor (online file) can be displayed in a segment of the NC screen. This can be configured in the Edit mode of the NC screen. This type of display is called a segment. When focussing on the "NC Variable Editor" segment on the NC screen, the pertinent functions are provided by the function key bar. Toggling segment/full frame By clicking on the "NC Variables" function key in the segment, the function key bar, the menu bar and the pop-up menu provide the functions of the NC variable editor from the full frame. Pressing the <F7> "Zoom+" key restores the full frame. Pressing function key <F7> "Zoom-" switches from the full frame to the segment. NC Variables: Data Management The NC variable editor represents a view of the NC variables in the control unit. The view of the NC variables in the control unit is saved in the online file. Note: The data are in the control unit, regardless of this view (online file)! Several views can be configured (prepared) and filed as offline files. When a file is opened for the first time (New), the table is still blank. An NC variable can be viewed by adding a line and entering the variable and process numbers (not applicable in case of the TRANS200). NC variables can be present repeatedly in the table. A name can be assigned to the file when it is saved for the first time. Offline files Online files NC variables, including their values and comments, can be entered offline in the NC variable editor and saved as an offline file. Transferring the offline data to the control unit requires that the offline file be downloaded. In this process, the comments are not written to the control unit. Online operation: The NC variables contained in the control unit can be displayed and edited by opening the online file. If an online file for displaying the NC variables of a control unit does not yet exist, a temporary online file

99 NC Programming System NC Variables 7-5 that receives a provisory file name is created. This may, for instance, be the case when the NC variable editor is called from the NC screen. Edited values of the NC variables are written directly to the control unit. Comments are read from and written to the online file. Note: Comments are automatically saved to the hard disk only when exiting. If changes are to be saved temporarily, the "Save" editor command must be used. If the connection to the control unit fails, the variable values that were read last from the control unit remain in the display. However, editing is no longer possible until the connection failure has been eliminated. Offline operation: As opposed to online operation, the NC variable values can not be read from the control unit, displayed or edited. Parameter download The content and the comments of the variables of an online file are not affected when a changed parameter set is downloaded. 7.2 Using the NC Variable Editor NC Variables: Menu Bar, Pop-Up Menu The menu bar contains all editor commands. The function key bar and the pop-up menu provide quick access to some of these commands. The pop-up menu of the NC variable editor can be called in the table only. NC Variables: File Menu New Save Print Exit NC Variables Exit all NC Variable Editors Exit An additional NC variable editor is opened for editing a new offline file. The new offline file is created temporarily and receives a provisory file name. The file activated and opened in the NC variable editor is saved. If this is a temporary file, a dialog field for saving the file is displayed. The file name can be modified in this dialog field. The print dialog box is called up. The current NC variable editor is exited. If the NC variable editor was opened with a temporary file, a dialog field for saving the file is displayed. The file name can be modified in this dialog field; in addition, the corresponding buttons of the Save procedure can be used to confirm or cancel exiting the editor. Offline files: The dialog field is also displayed if changes were made by the user in an existing offline file. Editor command "Exit NC Variable" is called in the open NC variable editors for all the processes and control units. Exits the MTGUI.

111 NC Programming System NC Events NC Events 8.1 General Information on NC Events The NC event editor permits the state of the NC events and the comments assigned to them to be viewed and changed. Depending on the events he wishes to view or change, the user can design the content of the NC event file as desired. Any number of lines can be added. If an online file is concerned, the current value can be viewed immediately after the process and event numbers have been entered. The mechanism and the application of the NC events are described in the chapter "NC Events" in the NC programming instructions. Certain functions in the NC event editor are protected by User Management. These functions are available only if the user has the associated authorization. See User Management, dialog box "Rights of user", tab "NC ProgSys". EvtEdMTC_gr.bmp Fig. 8-1: NC event editor (MTC200)

112 8-2 NC Events NC Programming System EvtEdTRA_gr.bmp Fig. 8-2: NC event editor (TRANS200) The NC events selected by the user are displayed in the table of the NC event editor. In case of the MTC200, 32 NC events and another 32 external events are available for each process: Event Nos In case of the TRANS200, 32 NC events are available: Event Nos Call The NC event editor can be called from the project navigator (see section 8.3 Directory of NC Events in the Project Navigator) or directly (for instance, from the NC screen). The NC event index of the particular control unit must be selected from the "Tree" view of the project navigator. The "List" view then displays all pertinent NC event files. The file to be opened must be selected. By selecting the "Edit" command, the selected file is opened in the NC event editor. If the NC event editor is called up directly, for instance by selecting the "NC Event" command on the NC screen, the online file for the control unit selected is opened and the corresponding NC events of this control unit are displayed. Offline files Offline files hard disk. are provided for work preparation and are saved on the Online files The online files can be used to display and edit the data contained in the control unit. The NC events are written directly to the control unit. The comment is filed in the online file when saved on a hard disk.

113 NC Programming System NC Events 8-3 NC Events: Structure of Screen Program title Header The program title specifies the name of the program and the address of the control unit for which the NC event values are displayed. In addition, the program title specifies the name of the editor displayed and the file edited in the editor. The header indicates the global control unit information of the active control unit, e.g. the operating mode. Please refer to the documentation "NC Screen" for a description of the elements indicated in the header. Note: The header is indicated only if the NC events of the control unit selected from the control unit selection list are displayed. Editor title Table Colors The title line of the NC event editor indicates by means of the appropriate symbol whether the open NC event file is an offline file or an online file. Offline files are indicated by the file symbol, online files by the CNC symbol. The title line also contains "NC Events" to indicate the NC data type displayed in the editor. In addition, the title displays the name of the NC event file currently edited in the editor. The NC events are displayed in the table line by line. Each NC event is displayed by its process number (not applicable in case of the TRANS200), the event number, the event value, and a comment. These items are displayed by columns. Process number: The process number reflects the assignment of an event to a process or declares it as an external event. Event number: The event number reflects the name of the event. An event can be addressed in the NC program by specifying its event number and, if necessary, the process number. Event value: An event can assume only two states: 1 set and 0 reset. Event values in an online file: The event values are displayed dynamically. This type of display reflects the current content of the control unit, i.e. if an event state is changed by means of the NC or PLC program, the new value is displayed automatically. Comment: A comment on each event can be entered in the last column of the table. The currently selected (focussed) field is identified by a light green background. After the edit mode has been entered, the color of the background of the field changes to light blue. Selections within this field are identified by a dark blue background. Online file: If data are not exchanged with the control unit, or if it was impossible to write a dataset, this is represented in red. Online file: If it is not yet entered completely in the control unit, a dataset is represented in white letters on a dark blue background.

114 8-4 NC Events NC Programming System NC Events: Display as Full Frame or Segment (MTC200) Full frame Segment Toggling segment/full frame The NC event editor occupies the entire screen area. The NC event editor (online file) can be displayed in a segment of the NC screen. This can be configured in the Edit mode of the NC screen. This type of display is called a segment. When focussing on the "NC Event Editor" segment on the NC screen, the pertinent functions are provided by the function key bar. By clicking on the "NC Events" function key in the segment, the function key bar, the menu bar and the pop-up menu provide the functions of the NC event editor from the full frame. Pressing the <F7> "Zoom+" key restores the full frame. Pressing function key <F7> "Zoom-" switches from the full frame to the segment. NC Events: Data Management The NC event editor represents a view of the NC events in the control unit. The view of the NC events in the control unit is saved in the online file. Note: The data are in the control unit, regardless of this view (online file)! Several views can be configured (prepared) and filed as offline files. When a file is opened for the first time (New), the table is still blank. An NC event can be viewed by adding a line and entering the event and process numbers (not applicable in case of the TRANS200). NC events can be present repeatedly in the table. A name can be assigned to the file when it is saved for the first time. Offline files Online files Offline NC events, including comments, can be entered offline in the NC event editor and saved as an offline file. When the MTC200 is concerned, it is also possible to assign a value to the events. Transferring the offline data to the control unit requires that the offline file be downloaded. In this process, the comments are not written to the control unit. Online operation: The NC events contained in the control unit can be displayed and edited on the MTC200 by opening the online file. If an online file for displaying the NC events of a control unit does not yet exist, a temporary online file that receives a provisory file name is created. This may, for instance, be the case when the NC event editor is called from the NC screen.

115 NC Programming System NC Events 8-5 Note: Comments are automatically saved to the hard disk only when exiting. If changes are to be saved temporarily, the "Save" editor command must be used. If the connection to the control unit fails, the event values that were read last from the control unit remain in the display. However, editing is no longer possible until the connection failure has been eliminated. Offline operation: As opposed to online operation, the NC event values can not be read from the control unit, displayed or edited. Parameter download The content and the comments of the NC events of an online file are not affected when a changed parameter set is downloaded. 8.2 Using the NC Event Editor NC Events: Menu Bar, Pop-Up Menu The menu bar contains all editor commands. The function key bar and the pop-up menu provide quick access to some of these commands. The pop-up menu of the NC event editor can be called in the table only. NC Events: File Menu New Save Print Exit NC Events Exit all NC Event Editors Exit An additional NC event editor is opened to edit a new offline file. The new offline file is created temporarily and receives a provisory file name. The file activated and opened in the NC event editor is saved. If this is a temporary file, a dialog field for saving the file is displayed. The file name can be modified in this dialog field. The print dialog box is called up. The current NC event editor is exited. Editor command "Exit NC Event" is called in the open NC event editors for all control units. Exits the MTGUI.

120 8-10 NC Events NC Programming System NC Events: Configuring and Editing the Table The items displayed in the table can be defined by adding and removing lines. This defines the view of the NC events (also see NC Events: Data Management). An NC event is referenced by means of the event number and, in case of the MTC200, also by its process number or by "X" (external event). The individual NC events can be displayed in the table in several lines. If an NC event already included in the list is entered, the data of the existing entry is applied. The following functions are provided for configuring and editing the lines. NC Events: Paste Line A new line is inserted using Paste menu / Line, or the pop-up menu, or function key <F2>, or <Ctrl>+<Enter>. Note: If the cursor is located at the first position, the new line is inserted in front of the current line; if not, the new line is inserted after the current line. Online file After an NC event entry has been created (i.e. definition of process number and event number), " " is preassigned to the value. The CNC responds with the current value. NC Events: Remove Line The line where the cursor is positioned is removed using the Edit menu / Delete Line, or the pop-up menu, or function key <F3>, or <Ctrl>+<L>. The line is copied to the clipboard. Note: Online file: The "Delete Line" function only affects the view of the data. The state of the NC events in the CNC is not affected!

127 NC Programming System D Corrections D Corrections 9.1 General Information on D Corrections The D correction editor can be used to display and enter the length correction values (L1, L2, L3), the radius correction (R), and comments for the various D corrections. There is no default display of D corrections in the D correction editor. The user can view a D correction by adding a line and entering the D correction number. The mechanism and the application of D corrections are described in the "D Corrections" section in the NC programming instructions. Certain functions in the D correction editor are protected by User Management. These functions are available only if the user has the associated authorization. See User Management, dialog box "Rights of user", tab "NC ProgSys". DcrEdMTC_gr.bmp Fig. 9-1: D correction editor The D corrections selected by the user are displayed in the table of the D correction editor. For the MTC200, 99 D corrections are available for each process: D Nos TRANS200, 30 D corrections are available for each process: D Nos

128 9-2 D Corrections NC Programming System Dependencies Call D corrections are defined by the active parameter set to a considerable degree. This involves both online and offline files: Use of the D correction editor requires an active parameter set containing at least one axis. Moreover, the "D corrections" parameter must be selected. The number of programmable decimal places is defined by the process parameter "Programmable decimal places" (4 or 5). The limits of the value range are also defined by this parameter. Selection of the basic programming unit (mm/inch) The D correction editor can be called from the project navigator (see section 9.3 Directory of D Corrections in the Project Navigator) or directly, for instance, from the NC screen. The D corrections directory of the particular control unit must be selected from the "Tree" view of the project navigator. The "List" view then displays all pertinent D correction files. The file to be opened must be selected. By selecting the "Edit" command, the selected file is opened in the D correction editor. If the D correction editor is called up directly, for instance by selecting the "D Correction" command on the NC screen, the online file is automatically opened for the control unit selected and the active process. In addition, the corresponding D corrections of the selected control unit of the active process are displayed. Offline files Offline files hard disk. are provided for work preparation and are saved on the Online files The online files can be used to display and edit the data contained in the control. The D correction values are written directly to the control. The comment and the type are filed in the online file when saved on hard disk. D Corrections: Structure of Screen Program title Header The program title specifies the name of the program and the address of the control unit for which the D correction values are displayed. In addition, the program title specifies the name of the editor displayed and the file edited in the editor. The header indicates the global control unit information of the active control unit, e.g. the operating mode. Please refer to the documentation "NC Screen" for a description of the elements indicated in the header. Note: The header is indicated only if the D correction values of the control unit selected from the control unit selection list are displayed. Editor title Label The title line of the D correction editor indicates by means of the appropriate symbol whether the open D correction file is an offline file or an online file. Offline files are indicated by the file symbol, online files by the CNC symbol. The title line also contains "D Corrections" to indicate the NC data type displayed in the editor. Moreover, the title line specifies the name of the D correction file currently edited in the editor. The label above the table header indicates the active D correction and the active level.

129 NC Programming System D Corrections 9-3 Table Colors The D corrections are displayed in the table line by line. The D correction number, the correction type, the three length corrections (L1, L2, L3), the radius correction (R), and a comment are displayed for each D correction. These items are displayed by columns. D number: The D correction number describes the number used for selecting the D correction from the NC program. Type: The type is exclusively specified for supporting the user in making his entry. Correction values: Numerically, the values are displayed in fixed-decimal-point format, with the number of decimal places depending on the process parameter "Programmable decimal places". Correction values in an online file: The correction values are displayed dynamically. This type of display reflects the current content of the control unit, i.e. if a correction value is changed by means of the NC or PLC program, the new value is displayed automatically. Comment: The last table column can be used to enter a comment on the D corrections. Correction values not contained in the type specified are dimmed. Note: However, the dimmed D correction values can still be edited and are effective in the CNC! The currently selected (focussed) field is identified by a light green background. After the edit mode has been entered, the color of the background of the field changes to light blue. Selections within this field are identified by a dark blue background. Online file: If data are not exchanged with the control unit, or if it was impossible to write a dataset, this is represented in red. Online file: If it is not yet entered completely in the control unit, a dataset is represented in white letters on a dark blue background. Preview for tool types for several planes The lower part of the editor (full frame) provides an additional area. With evaluation of the type, this container graphically represents the mechanisms of the corrections for the three possible processing planes. The graphic diagrams shown always relate to the D correction focussed in the editor.

130 9-4 D Corrections NC Programming System Note: Since the processing plane cannot yet be defined at the moment of editing, but only during runtime, the effective directions are represented in all of the possible planes (G17, G18, G19). D Corrections: Indication of Active Data For online files, the following elements are represented in orange in the D correction editor, thus being marked as active: D correction values of the active D correction in the table Display of the active D correction number and the active plane above the table header. D Corrections: Display as Full Frame or Segment (MTC200) Full frame Segment Toggling segment/full frame The D correction editor occupies the entire screen area. The D correction editor (online file) can be displayed in a segment of the NC screen. This can be configured in the Edit mode of the NC screen. This type of display is called a segment. When focussing on the "D Correction Editor" segment on the NC screen, the pertinent functions are provided by the function key bar. The segment view does not provide the preview area. By clicking on the "D Corrections" function key in the segment, the function key bar, the menu bar and the pop-up menu provide the functions of the D correction editor from the full frame. Pressing the <F7> "Zoom+" key restores the full frame. Pressing function key <F7> "Zoom-" switches from the full frame to the segment. D Corrections: Data Management The D correction editor displays a view of the D corrections in the control unit. The view of the D corrections in the control unit is saved in the online file. Note: The data are in the control unit, regardless of this view (online file)! Several views can be configured (prepared) and filed as offline files. When a file is opened for the first time (New), the table is still blank. The user can view a D correction by adding a line and entering the D correction number. D corrections can be present repeatedly in the table. A name can be assigned to the file when it is saved for the first time. Offline files D correction values and comments can be entered offline in the D correction editor and saved as an offline file. Transferring the offline data to the control unit requires that the offline file be downloaded. In this process, the comments and types are not written to the control unit.

131 NC Programming System D Corrections 9-5 Online files Online operation: The NC variables contained in the control unit can be displayed and edited by opening the online file. Comments and types are read from and written to the online file. If an online file for displaying the D corrections of a control unit does not yet exist, a temporary online file that receives a provisory file name is created. This may, for instance, be the case when the D correction editor is called from the NC screen. Note: Comments are automatically saved to the hard disk only when exiting. If changes are to be saved temporarily, the "Save" editor command must be used. If the connection to the control unit fails, the D correction values that were read last from the control unit remain in the display. However, editing is no longer possible until the connection failure has been eliminated. Offline operation: As opposed to online operation, the D correction values can not be read from the control unit, displayed or edited. Adjustment to the parameter set Parameter download If an offline file, when being imported or opened, is detected to have been created with a non-compatible parameter set (intermediate changes to the parameter set), this file must be converted. This adjustment to the current parameter set is necessary for the basic programming unit. Conversion is implemented by the D correction editor. Here, the D correction values are converted to comply with the new basic programming unit. If "Programmable decimal places", "Displayed decimal places", the basic programming unit, or the axis configuration with regard to the number and meanings of axes (not axis names) have been changed in the control unit parameters, all D corrections in the control unit are initialized with zero during the following parameter download. The comments in the corresponding online file remain. 9.2 Using the D Correction Editor D Corrections: Menu Bar, Pop-Up Menu The menu bar contains all editor commands. The function key bar and the pop-up menu provide quick access to some of these commands. The pop-up menu of the D correction editor can be called up in the table only. D Corrections: File Menu New Save Print Exit D Corrections An additional D correction editor is opened to edit a new offline file. The new offline file is created temporarily and receives a provisory file name. The file activated and opened in the D correction editor is saved. If this is a temporary file, a dialog field for saving the file is displayed. The file name can be modified in this dialog field. The print dialog box is called up. The current D correction editor is exited.

Entries are cancelled by pressing the <Esc> key. The original value is used again. Note: In case of the online file, the edited D correction value is directly written to the control unit after the entry has been completed!

135 NC Programming System D Corrections 9-9 Value range limits When the entry of values is completed, the value range limits are checked. If these limits are exceeded, a message window displaying the permissible values appears: Column D correction No. (MTC200) 1-99 D correction No. (TRANS200) 1-30 Type 0-5 Correction values L1, L2, L3, R Fig. 9-6: Value range limits Value range Defined in process parameters B0x.030 and B0.x031 The number of programmable decimal places is defined by the process parameter "Programmable decimal places" (4 or 5). If more decimal places are entered, the rounded value is displayed. Note: The value range of D correction values that can be entered is limited to to if "5" has been set in the parameter "Programmable decimal places" and to to if "4" has been set in "Programmable decimal places". Value range limits Entering the type The D correction number can be entered directly (see value range limits). The type can be entered directly by specifying the value within a range of 0 to 5 or by using the "Select Type" dialog box (see D Corrections: Type Selection). Entering the correction values Entering comments File name Correction values can be entered as follows: Absolutely (the new correction value corresponds to the value entered) Mathematical expression (the new correction value can be calculated by using the arithmetical operations *, /, +, and ) It is possible to enter any number of characters. The values are displayed and entered in fixed-decimal-point format. There is no limit to the length of comments. When the D correction file is saved for the first time, its name can be entered in a dialog field.

D Corrections: Type Selection DcrTypMTC_gr.bmp Fig. 9-7: Type Selection dialog box Type Specification of the type is exclusively provided for supporting the user. The type is not transferred to the control unit. There are six different correction types. Each correction type corresponds to a specific tool type which, owing to is design, requires only specific correction values (L1, L2, L3, R). A pictogram is assigned to each type. Correction values not contained in the type specified are dimmed. Note: However, the dimmed D correction values can still be edited and are effective in the CNC! WARNING If a D correction is called in the control unit, all four D correction values are always effective! Ÿ Set the correction values that are not required for the type selected to 0.

"Type Selection" dialog box The type selection dialog box provides the 6 types by means of pictograms. The type can be selected by pressing the mouse button or the arrow keys. The focussed bitmap is then provided with a blue frame. Pressing <OK> confirms the selection; <Esc> cancels the dialog box, and the old type is reused. WARNING If the type is changed, the values required for this type remain unaffected! They are dimmed in the editor! Ÿ Set the correction values that are not required for the type selected to 0. D Corrections: Configuring and Editing the Table The items displayed in the table can be defined by adding and removing lines. This defines the view of the D corrections. The D correction is referenced by means of the D No. The individual D corrections can be displayed in the table in several lines. If a D correction already included in the list is entered, the data of the existing entry is applied. The following functions are provided for configuring and editing the lines. D Corrections: Paste Line A new line is inserted using Paste menu / Line, or the pop-up menu, or function key <F2>, or <Ctrl>+<Enter>. Note: If the cursor is located at the first position, the new line is inserted in front of the current line; if not, the new line is inserted after the current line. Online file After a new line has been inserted, the default type (type 0) is preassigned to the type. A D correction is sufficiently defined by its D number. The D correction values are displayed from the CNC.

138 9-12 D Corrections NC Programming System Offline file After a new line has been inserted, the default type (type 0) is preassigned to the type. The elements L1, L2, L3, and R remain blank at first. If a D correction value is entered in the line, zero is pre-assigned to the remaining values. It is not necessary to enter values for the D correction values. D Corrections: Remove Line The line where the cursor is positioned is removed using the Edit menu / Delete Line, or the pop-up menu, or function key <F3>, or <Ctrl>+<L>. The line is copied to the clipboard. Note: Online file: The "Remove Line" function only affects the view of the data. The D correction values in the CNC are not affected!
