SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual CNC: ShopTurn – 11/2006 Edition
You can link user cycles into the work plan with the ShopTurn cycles "Positions".
The name of the cycles to be linked in the work plan is mandatory and must not
be changed:
F_DR_Ox
The following variables must be configured within the cycles:
First you must define three variables that are not used until the program step is
inserted in the ShopTurn work plan; i.e. you must assign the attribute invisible
(wr0) to the variable input field. The variable sequence is as follows:
1. Variable for the next tool, data type String (S)
2. Variable for the position identifier in objects, data type Integer
3. Variable for the sequencer text that is to be displayed in the ShopTurn work
schedule, data type character string (S)
The easiest way to assign a value to this variable is in a LOAD method.
Two variables for cycles processing must also be defined as well as one vari-
able for each toggle field which has a different display content on the interface
(e.g. mm/rev) than the internally transferred quantity (e.g. 1).
You need to assign the attribute invisible (wr0) to these variables too as they do
not have their own input field. You can place the variables in any order.
Note
When an OUTPUT method is used, all variables described above must be
configured within this method so that they can all be interpreted on
recompilation.
If a particular work step is to be performed not in all positions but only once, the
following user variable must be set in the associated cycle F_ONETIME = 1.
This also provides the possibility of implementing modal changes for subse-
quent technologies.
Directory CYCLES\SC\PROG\TEMPLATES contains a sample cycle
F_DR_O1.SPF. The associated user interface is configured in file
F_DR_O1.COM. The German and English texts are stored in files
F_DR_TXD.COM and F_DR_TXE.COM. A number of help displays are also
included with the sample cycle.
Please see the README.TXT file for information on how to install the cycle.
