9.2 Machine data

9.2 Machine data

Danger Changes in the machine data have a considerable influence on the machine. Incorrect configuration of the parameters can endanger human life and cause damage to the machine.

Access to the machine data operating area can be controlled by keylock switch or password.

Function

Areas The machine data is divided into the following areas:

• General machine data ($MN)
• Channel-specific machine data ($MC)
• Axis-specific machine data ($MA)
• Display machine data ($MM)
• Drive-specific machine data ($M_)
• Machine data control unit: Drive parameters (solution line)
• Machine data feed-in: Drive parameters (solution line)

A separate list display is provided for each of these areas in which you can view and edit machine data.

The following information about the machine data is displayed from left to right:

• Machine data number
• Machine data name, with field index if applicable.
• Value of the machine data
• Unit of the machine data
• Effectiveness

If the machine data does not use units, no units are displayed. If the data is not available, the "#" symbol is displayed instead of the value. If the value ends in an "H", it is a hexadecimal value.

9.2 Machine data

The physical units of machine data are displayed on the right-hand side of the input field.

Examples

The right-hand column indicates when a machine data becomes effective:

• so = immediately effective
• cf = when confirmed via the "Activate MD" softkey
• re = reset
• po = POWER ON (NCK Power On reset)

Function

File functions

Enter the name of the file in which you wish to save the operands. You can select an existing back-up file from a list.

File functions: see Subsection 8.5.4

9.3 NC

Function

Commiss. switch The commissioning switch function is only available on the SINUMERIK powerline. You can only define the commissioning switch settings if you have the appropriate access rights to do so.

NCK addresses The NCK address function is only available on the SINUMERIK powerline. View the NCU address and change it. It is normally only necessary to edit the address for M: N operation. You cannot undo an address change with general reset. It is not saved in a series commissioning archive.

NC memory The NC user memories available for programs and data are displayed here:

• Memory overview
• SRAM assignment in bytes
• DRAM assignment in bytes

Further information on the selection can be displayed using the "Details" softkey.

V ertical softkeys

NCK reset The NCK reset and NCK general reset functions are only available in the SINUMERIK solutionline:

• "NCK Reset" performs a warm restart of the NC.
• "NCK general reset" resets all of the machine data to the default values.

NCK gen. reset

9.4 PLC

Function

Changes can only be made with the corresponding access authorization (password):

• Setting date/time (see blow)
• PLC status for PLC operands (see Section 8.5)
• File functions (see Subsection 8.5.4)

Danger

Changes in the states of PLC memory locations have a major impact on the machine. Incorrect configuration of the parameters can endanger human life and cause damage to the machine.

Function

You can change the date and time of the PLC and manually synchronize the date and time of the PLC and HMI.

Sequence of operations

Measurement of coupled axes

For commissioning SIMODRIVE 611 digital drives, coupled axes are supported for measuring in the current control loop, speed control loop or position control loop:

• Pure gantry axis groupings
• Pure master/slave relationships
• Hybrid coupling of master/slave axes with gantry axes

You can enter specific measuring parameters and select a measurement for each available axis in these axis groupings. The following measuring parameters are available:

• Amplitude leading axis or master axis
• Amplitude synchronized axis/axes or slave axis/axes
• Bandwidth of the frequency range to be analyzed
• Information on measuring accuracy and measurement duration increase
• Delay settling time
• OFFSET to accelerate via an acceleration ramp

/IAD/ Commissioning Manual:

Section "Measuring functions for coupled axes"

9.5 Optimization/test (SINUMERIK powerline)

Display all coupled axes

You can record the results for up to two axes simultaneously. There is always only one leading axis. All other axes are synchronized axes; their amplitude can be assigned separately. All active axes of the grouping are displayed.

For non-mixed couplings, the following axes can be seen as a maximum: for gantry axis grouping, for master/slave couplings

• one leading axis and two synchronized axes.
• one master axis and two slave axes

With a hybrid master-slave coupling with pure gantry axes the leading axis always comes from the pure gantry axis grouping. All other axes are synchronized axes. The texts displayed in the operator interface change and are updated according to the active type of coupling.

You can navigate through all active axes in the "Gantry measurement" or "Master / slave measurement" selection screens where all active couplings are displayed. You can measure up to 2 axes simultaneously. The measuring process must be repeated after each axis selection.

The axis couplings show the axis identifiers e.g. X1, Z1 or A1 as well as the axis number of the respective axis grouping. The values have the following meanings: SRM Synchronous motors (synchronous rotation motor) ARM Asynchronous motors (asynchronous rotation motor)

Additional information

The HMI does not support initiation of a measurement job for a master/slave coupling in the position control loop. If you are currently performing a position control measurement on an axis which is coupled but not initiated by the HMI, the start is inhibited for this slave axis and a message is displayed.

When optimizing or measuring gantry axes, HMI Advanced V06.03.xx should be used if at the complete coupling at least two involved axes are configured on one control module. This also includes master/slave axes.

Important terms are listed in alphabetical order. For terms, that appear in the explanation and for which there is a dedicated entry, reference is made using →.

A

Axes In accordance with their functional scope, the CNC axes are subdivided into:

• Axes: Interpolating path axes
• Auxiliary axes: Non-interpolating feed and positioning axes with an axis-specific feed rate. Auxiliary axes are not involved in the actual machining, and include for example tool feeders and tool magazines.

Axis identifier Axes are labeled in accordance with DIN 66217 (for a clockwise orthogonal \rightarrow coordinate system) with the letters X,Y, Z. \rightarrow Rotary axes which rotate about X,Y,Z are labeled with the letters A, B, C. Additional axes parallel to the above can be identified with further address letters.

Axis address See \rightarrow Axis identifier

Axis name See \rightarrow Axis identifier

Address An address is the identifier for a certain operand or operand range, e.g., input, output, etc.

Alarms All \rightarrow messages and alarms are displayed on the operator panel in plain text with date and time as well as the appropriate symbol for the delete criterion. Alarms and messages are displayed separately.

1. Alarms and messages in the part program Alarms and messages can be displayed directly from the part program in plain text.
2. Alarms and messages from PLC Alarms and messages relating to the machine can be displayed directly from the PLC program in plain text. No additional function block packages are required for this purpose.

Drive * *

User-defined variable Users can define variables in the \rightarrow part program or data block (global user data) for their own use. A definition contains a data type specification and the variable name. See also \rightarrow System variable.

A-448

A 01/2008 B Appendix Terms A

User program User programs for the S7-300 automation systems are created using the programming language STEP 7. The user program has a modular layout and consists of individual blocks. The basic block types are: Code blocks: These blocks contain the STEP 7 commands. Data blocks: These blocks contain the constants and variables for the STEP 7 program.

User memory All programs and data, such as part programs, subprograms, comments, tool offsets, and zero offsets/frames, as well as channel and program user data, can be stored in the shared CNC user memory.

Working area limitation With the aid of the working area limitation, the traversing range of the axes can be further restricted in addition to the limit switches. One value pair per axis may be used to describe the protected working area.

Working area Three-dimensional zone into which the tool tip can be moved on account of the physical design of the machine tool. See also → Protection zone.

Working memory The working memory is a RAM area in the → CPU which is accessed by the processor to access the user program during program execution.

Archive Reading out data and/or directories to an external memory device.

A spline The Akima spline runs under a continuous tangent through the programmed interpolation points (3rd order polynomial).

Automatic Operating mode of the control (block sequence operation according to DIN): Operating Mode in NC systems in which a → part program is selected and continuously executed.

B

Basic coordinate system Cartesian coordinate system which is mapped by transformation onto the machine coordinate system. In the → part program, the programmer uses the axis names of the basic coordinate system. The basic coordinate system exists in parallel to the → machine coordinate system when no → transformation is active. The difference between the systems relates to the axis identifiers.

Baud rate Rate of data transfer (Bit/s).

Machining channel Via a channel structure, parallel sequences of movements, such as

A-449

A Appendix 01/2008 A B Terms

positioning a loading gantry during machining, can shorten unproductive times. Here, a CNC channel must be regarded as a separate CNC control system with decoding, block preparation and interpolation.

User interface The user interface (UI) is the display medium for a CNC control in the form of a screen. It is laid out with eight horizontal and eight vertical softkeys.

Mode An operating concept on a SINUMERIK control. The operating modes → Jog, → MDI and → Automatic are defined.

Mode group At all times all of the axles/spindles are assigned to precisely one channel. Each channel is assigned to one operating mode group. The channels of the mode group are always assigned the same → mode.

Identifier In accordance with DIN 66025, words are supplemented using identifiers (names) for variables (arithmetic variables, system variables, user variables), subprograms, key words, and words with multiple address letters. These supplements have the same meaning as the words with respect to block format. Identifiers must be unique. It is not permissible to use the same identifier for different objects.

B spline With the B spline, the programmed positions are not interpolation points, as they are just "control points" instead. The generated curve only runs near to the control points, not directly through them (optional 1st, 2nd or 3rd order polynomials).

C

C axis Axis around which the tool spindle describes a controlled rotational and positioning movement.

CNC NC

C spline The C spline is the most well-known and widely used spline. The transitions at the interpolation points are continuous, both tangentially and in terms of curvature. 3rd order polynomials are used.

D

Data block

1. A data unit on the→ PLC, which can be accessed by → HIGHSTEP programs.
2. Data unit of the → NC: Data modules contain data definitions for global user data. These data can be initialized directly when they

A-450

A 01/2008 B Appendix Terms A

are defined.

Data word A data unit, two bytes in size, within a \rightarrow data block.

Diagnostics

1. Operating area of the control.
2. The control has both a self-diagnostics program as well as test functions for servicing purposes: Status, alarm and service displays.

Services Operating area of the control.

DRF Differential Resolver Function: NC function which generates an incremental work offset in Automatic mode in conjunction with an electronic handwheel.

E

Editor The editor makes it possible to create, edit, extend, join, and import programs/texts/program blocks.

Rapid traverse The highest traverse rate of an axis. It is used for example to move the tool from rest to the \rightarrow workpiece contour or retract the tool from the contour.

Electronic handwheel Electronic handwheels can be used to traverse the selected axes simultaneously in manual mode. The handwheel clicks are analyzed by the increment analyzer.

External work offset A work offset specified by the \rightarrowPLC.

F

Frame A frame is an arithmetic rule that transforms one Cartesian coordinate system into another Cartesian coordinate system. A frame contains the components \rightarrow work offset, \rightarrow rotation, \rightarrow scaling, \rightarrow mirroring.

G

Exact stop With a programmed exact stop instruction, the position stated in a block is approached precisely and very slowly, if necessary. To reduce the approach time, \rightarrow exact stop limits are defined for rapid traverse and feed.

Exact stop limit When all path axes reach their exact stop limits, the control responds as if it had reached its precise destination point. The \rightarrow part program continues execution at the next block.
