6000i Overview
The core of the 6000i is the MC 400. The MC 400 supports the standard 12.1” LCD. The
6000i uses a modular MC and Current Controller (CC). The CC for the 6000i is CC 600.
In addition to the MC 400 and CC 600, the 6000i will also use:
• A Hard Disk dRawer (i.e.,HDR). The hard disk drawer makes servicing the MC
(standalone logic unit) easier. The hard disk drawer can be pulled out and put into the
new MC. All parameters, PLC programs, and user programs are then available in the
new MC.
• A System Identification Key (i.e., SIK).
The hard-disk and SIK are assembled into the MC by ANILAM. The hard disk and SIK
would normally be accessed by the user only for service reasons.

Environmental Conditions
The following topics are described:
• Heating and Cooling
• Humidity
• Mechanical Vibration
Heating and Cooling
Danger:The permissible ambient temperature in operation is between 0 °C
and 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Any deviation from this will impair the
operating safety of the machine.
Ensure adequate cooling as follows:
• Provide sufficient space for air circulation.
• Install in a fan to extract warm air. Do not allow pre-warmed air to be blown into the
unit. The warmed air should flow over surfaces such as sheet metal, which enable heat
dissipation.
• Where the chassis is a closed steel housing without assisted cooling, the formula for
heat conduction is 3 W/m2 of surface per °C air temperature difference between inside
and outside.
• Use a heat exchanger with separate internal and external circulation.
• Do not blow external air through the control cabinet to exchange the internal air. Fine
dust or vapors could damage electronic assemblies. If no other method of cooling is
possible, ensure that the fan draws warm air out of the electrical cabinet and pulls in air
that is adequately filtered. Service the filter regularly.
A heat exchanger or a cooling unit is preferable for controlling the internal temperature of
the electrical cabinet. Refer to Figure 2-3, Correct Positioning.
If filtered air is blown into the electrical cabinet for cooling purposes, the standard EN 50
178 applies, which permits contamination level 2.
Danger:Be sure to take the measures required for preventing dust from
entering the electrical cabinet.
Dust depositing inside electrical devices may cause them to fail and
impair the safety of the system.

PLC Additions for Blum Laser Probing
The following topics are described:
P/N 627787-21 - Mounting and Electrical Installation
O_On_Las_Prob_Enable_0 -> Blum “Enable 0” (Yellow wire) and also the coils of
the Air Barrier and Piston Shutter. (Ensure you
install a back surge diode between the solenoid coil
and 24V common to protect the output.)
O_Ena_Las_Prob_Enable_1 -> Blum “Enable 1” (Pink wire)
O_Ena_Las_Prob_Enable_2 -> Blum “Enable 2” (Violet wire)
O_Blow_Nozzle_Las_Prop_On -> Blum optional air blast
Plus 24 VDC connects to Blum +24V (Brown wire).
Common 24 VDC connects to Blum 24V COM (White wire) and also the common side of
the solenoid coils mentioned above.
The turning On and Off of the outputs are set up in the PLC module touchpro.scr with six
M-codes:
M550Laser On
M551Laser Off
M552Enable 1 On
M553Enable 1 Off
M554Enable 2 On
M555Enable 2 Off
And if the Blow Nozzle is on the probe, you would need to create two additional M-codes
for that, using:
M556Blow Nozzle On
M557Blow Nozzle Off
This way, the Blum cycles can turn on and off the outputs individually as needed for more
flexibility depending on the laser model.
An example for the M-code logic in touchpro.src is listed below and the associated entries
for M-code definition in the ANILAM 6000i control will also need to be made in the PLC
definition file GLB_PLCCFG.DEF and the machine configuration files of plc.cfg and
plc_oem.cfg.

Figure 2-9, OMP-40 Cordless Touch Probe
Probes come in various different transmission systems: corded or cordless (infrared,
radio, or inductive). When a corded 3-D touch probe is connected to the control, the
spindle and tool changer should be automatically disabled in the PLC by means of an
input signal which is hardwired to the probe connector. Also the low battery signal should
be jumped to 15VDC when using a corded 3-D touch probe. When a cordless 3-D touch
probe is connected to the control, low battery and not ready (e.g. transmission medium
obstructed or probe in “sleep mode”) conditions are continuously monitored. Cordless
probes usually go into a “sleeping mode” to conserve battery charge. These probes are
automatically awakened by the CNC when probing is activated (M9387 X1).
Refer to the probe manufacture’s documentation for further details. Refer to the 6000i CNC User’s Manual, P/N 627785-2X, for probe usage guidelines.
Tool Probe Parameter Setup
The tool probing parameters (the table probe) can be found on the control by going into
the machine configuration as follows (refer to Figure 2-10):
1. From the Manual mode, press
2. When asked for a password, simply press the
SHIFT then F3 (Config).
ENTER key.
3. Go into System>Probing>CfgToolProbingParameters
4. Remember that all numeric values are in metric.

• Set toolProbeType: Standard or Laser (Standard is the default).
• Set useAnilamLaserCycles to YES to utilize the ANILAM laser table probe cycles.
These cycles have limited compatibility for the Blum laser probe, therefore if another
laser table probe is used, it may be necessary to set this to NO and use the cycles
provided by the particular probe manufacturer. This parameter is read by the PLC to
allow different input/output configuration.
• Set moveAxisParallelToLaserBeam (Laser probe only) to YES so the tool probing
cycles will locate both X and Y axes when calibrating a tool. Set to NO if the probe is
mounted in such a way that the axis parallel to the laser beam need not be moved.
• Set nominalProbeStylusDiameter, the overall nominal probe stylus diameter. For
example, 12mm for the Renishaw® probe, or for the Heidenhain probe use 40mm. On
a laser style probe this value would normally be zero. This is dependent on the probe
style and specifications (refer to your probe documentation).
• Set maxStrokeFromHome_FirstPick, represents the distance from machine Z home
with the shortest tool or the spindle face to just below the probe stylus top as the
maximum stroke for the initial probe pick.
• Set calibAndToolMeasurementRPM, the spindle RPM for tool touch. [For example,
set to 800 for standard probe type or 4000 for laser probe type tool presetter.]
• Set probeOrientation, the proper probe orientation. For example, if set to –1, the
probe should be installed on the right side of the table pointing toward the left in the –X
direction. See Table 2-5.

• Set ZFirstPickFeedRate_Fast, the Z fast feedrate. [For example, set to 2000 mm per
minute (mm/min).]
Warning: When using G151, the tool travels down beyond the top of the probe
after the probe is tripped. For this reason, make sure that the fast
feedrate is not so high as to cause the tool to travel past the probe travel
causing damage to the probe. The maximum feedrate that can be used
is specific to the machine and may need to be set much lower to prevent
damage to the probe.

CNC Technical Manual
Note:There is a maximum feedrate setting which is set by your machine tool
manufacturer in System > CfgHardware > maxTouchFeed. This will limit the
maximum feedrate allowed in these feedrate parameters.
P/N 627787-21 - Mounting and Electrical Installation
• Set the ZFirstPickFeedRate_Medium, the Z medium feedrate. [For example, set to
125 mm/min.]
• Set ZFirstPickFeedRate_Slow, the Z slow feedrate for the actual probe pick. [For
example, set to 10.0 mm/min.]
• Set ZRetractAmount. Amount to retract from top of probe after pick. [For example, set
to 4.0 mm.]
• Set XYRetractAmount. Amount to retract from side of probe after pick. [For example,
set to 4.0 mm.]
• Set ZRapidToStartPositionFromHome. Install the longest tool in the spindle and
bring the Z-axis to machine home. With a tape measure, measure the distance from the
tool tip to within 13 mm above the top of the probe stylus and enter that number into
ZRapidToStartPositionFromHome. When using G151, this causes the tool to rapid to
this position in the Z-axis before starting the initial probe touch in the Z-axis. This saves
time especially if the Z-feed must be set relatively slow to prevent probe over travel
after the probe has been tripped.
• Set diameterOfToolProbeGauge. The default gauge diameter of the tool calibration
standard. diameterOfToolProbeGauge can be overwritten by the D word in the G150
cycle. diameterOfToolProbeGauge is used in the G150 calibration only. [For example,
set to 12 mm.]
Spindle Probe Setup

configuration as follows (refer to Figure 2-11):
1. From the Manual mode, press

• Set positioningFeedrate_Normally, the feedrate the control uses while positioning
the probe around the part. [For example, set to 1000 mm/min.]
• Set positioningFeedrate_FirstTouch, the feedrate the control uses while making its
initial touch finding the surface it is measuring. [For example, 125 mm/min.]
Note:There is a maximum feedrate setting which is set by your machine tool
manufacturer in System > CfgHardware > maxTouchFeed. This will limit the
maximum feedrate allowed in these feedrate parameters.
•Set nominalProbeStylusBallRadius, the diameter as measured with a micrometer.
[For example, set to 5 mm for a 10mm ball.]
• Set diameterOfSpindleProbeGauge, the exact diameter of the ring gauge used to
calibrate the spindle probe. [For example, 25.4 mm.]
• Set dwellTimeAfterProbeActive, the time recommended by the particular probe
manufacturer to wait after the probe is turned on before attempting a probe move.
• Set updateTloOrWorkOffsetZAxis, to WorkOffset or TLO. This only affects the G141
with a Q4 and Q5 which will store the result as the difference of the spindle probes TLO
and thetop of the part in the Z axis work offset or will place the distance from machine
home to the surface being probed in the current active tool length offset.

In order to recognize a short circuit, a current of 20 A must be able

P/N 627787-21 - Machine Parameters
Section 3 - Machine Parameters
The following topics are described in this section:
• General Information
• The Configuration Editor
• Allocation of Configuration Data
• Setup of a Parameter File
• MP Subfiles
• Read or Change Machine Parameters via a PLC Module
• Overview of the Machine Parameters of the 6000i
General Information
A control must have access to specific machine data (e.g., traverse distances,
acceleration, speeds) before it can execute its programmed instructions. You define these
data in machine parameters. Each machine has its own set of parameters.
The parameter values are entered in the configuration editor. The machine parameters
are grouped as parameter objects in a tree structure. They are saved in parameter files
with the extension .cfg on the Config directories on the drives: TNC:\Config\ and PLC:\Config\.
These drives should always be addressed with the system variables %OEM%
( PLC:\ ) and %USR% ( TNC:\ ).
Note:You should only make changes to the parameter files by using the
configuration editor.
Only in exceptional cases should the *.cfg files be edited directly. This could
possibly lead to faulty syntax, which would prevent the control from starting
up.
Each parameter object (also called data object or object) has a name that gives
information about the parameters it contains.
Depending on the function, the parameters are differentiated into system-specific,
channel-specific, and axis-specific types.
Each object has a “key” for unique identification. The keyname can have a maximum of
18 characters.
The following applies:
• System data (parameters that are valid for the entire system) only occur once. The
configuration editor does not require a keyname for these parameters, nor is one
entered. These objects are identified with an “empty” key in the *.cfg files.
• Parameter objects that apply to axes occur more than once.
A unique keyname is assigned to each axis. All objects that apply to a certain axis must
be identified with this key.
Example: The keyname “Axis-X” for all objects that belong to the X axis
The keyname “Axis-S” for all objects that belong to the spindle

September 2008
Page 84
CNC Technical Manual
P/N 627787-21 - Machine Parameters
• Parameter objects that apply to channels occur more than once.
A unique keyname is assigned to each channel. All objects that apply to a certain
channel must be identified with this key.
Example:The keyname “Channel1” for all objects that belong to Channel1
Note:Keynames should be short and clear, and refer to the function.
The Configuration Editor
The following topics are described:
• Calling the Configuration Editor
• Machine Parameter Screen
• Entering and Editing Machine Parameters
• Managing Configuration Files
• Sort File Content
• Table View
• Access Rights
• Update Rules
• Remove Syntax Error

CONFIG STRUCT
P/N 627787-21 - Machine Parameters
Managing Configuration Files
The configuration data is saved in several files with the extension .cfg. This enables you
to establish the correct configuration for different types of machines by selecting the
appropriate files from the paths entered.
There are two types of configuration file lists: ANILAM files and OEM files.
The ANILAM files are permanently defined and cannot be changed (e.g.,
CfgJhConfigDataFiles).
Figure 3-10, Config Struct Screen
The paths and names of OEM files can be changed with the Config Struct (F5) soft key.
New configuration files can also be added (for a new axis, for example). The paths are
saved in the file configfiles.cfg.
The paths and names of the configuration files are stored in the dataFiles list (see
“Allocation of Configuration Data”). The control searches for the parameter objects and
their parameters in these *.cfg files.
The paths of these files can be changed. Use the
for entering the new path or file name.
RIGHTARROW key to open a dialog box
Sort File Content
Pressing the Sort Content (F1) soft key sorts the contents of the *.cfg configuration files
so that the objects are in the same order as they are listed in the configuration editor.
However, since the data in the configuration editor comes from multiple files, there is no
direct correlation between the display in the configuration editor and the contents of each
file.
This sorting makes it easier to compare the contents of similar files (such as *.cfg for
axes), since the entries are now in the same order.

Table View
In the configuration editor, you can new switch from the familiar tree view to a new table
view. This is especially useful when configuring the parameter blocks, since now the
parameters of all axes are visible at a glance.
All editing functions available in the tree view are also available in the table view.

Access Rights
Press the More Cmds (F7) soft key then the Secure Area (F6) soft key for access rights.
Refer to Figure 3-2, More Cmds (F7) Screen from Configuration Screen. Entering a
code number also grants access rights to the machine parameters.
There is a difference between the four levels, from Level1 to Level4. Level1 grants few
rights, whereas Level4 grants all rights.
LEVEL1 access right
Machine parameters on LEVEL1 can be reached and edited using the access password.
LEVEL2 access right
Machine parameters on LEVEL2 can be reached and changed with the access password.
LEVEL3 access right
Machine parameters on LEVEL3 can be accessed by ANILAM. The machine
manufacturer can only read them.
LEVEL4 access right
Machine parameters on LEVEL4 can only be accessed by ANILAM. The machine
manufacturer can only read them.

Reaction to Change
The following reactions can occur when machine parameters are changed:
• NOTHING
• RUN
• RESET
• REF
Information on which reactions occur for which machine parameters is given later in this
Section.
Reaction NOTHING
Data with this reaction can be changed at any time, including during program run.
Reaction RUN
Changes are only possible during a PLC strobe or NC stop.
Reaction RESET
After a machine parameter to which the RESET reaction is assigned has been changed,
the error message Machine parameters were changed. Shut down and restart the control is displayed.
This message cannot be cleared. The machine must be restarted. The control can also
be restarted later so that you can make further changes in the configuration editor.
Data objects with this reaction must not be changed during program run.
Reaction REF
After a machine parameter connected to the REF reaction has been changed, the
affected axis is set to unreferenced.
A new reference run must be made for this axis.
Data objects with this reaction must not be changed during program run.

Remove Syntax Error
Press the More Cmds (F7) soft key then the Syntax Errors (F2) soft key to display
syntax errors. The Syntax Errors (F2) soft key becomes selectable when the
configuration data in the *.cfg files is changed manually, or when faulty or incomplete
update rules are used during a software update. Pressing it opens the faulty file as well as
a text editor so that the file can be corrected manually.
Since this soft key can only be selected in one of the above cases, and these cases do
not occur during normal operation, the soft key cannot be selected during normal
operation.
The start-up of the control is interrupted if a faulty file is detected. The dialog box for
entering a code number is displayed. You must enter the OEM or ANILAM code number
for the configuration editor. The main menu of the configuration editor is displayed. The
Syntax Errors (F2) and END soft keys can be selected. Pressing the END soft key
continues start-up. However, this will lead to many error messages, since only faulty or no
configuration data is available.
The END soft key saves and reloads the file. This can take a moment. If there are still
errors, the soft key remains active.
Otherwise, the Config Data (F6) soft key becomes selectable. You can use it for further
corrections in the configuration editor. If the data is now correct, the END soft key in the
main menu of the configuration editor will continue start-up.
If any other errors are reported, they must be fixed with the configuration editor.
Reset Update Version
Press the More Cmds (F7) soft key then the Reset Version (F4) soft key to enable you to
return to the previous software version of machine parameters (configuration data).
If, after a software update, configuration errors occur while the control is starting up, the
previous executable version can be reactivated. Then find and correct the error by using
the update rules.

P/N 627787-21 - Machine Parameters
• Save parameter files in backup
The following file name is suggested:
%OEM%\service\BKUPyear-month-day_.ZIP
Append meaningful information to this name, for example, the control model, software
version, etc.
All active *.cfg configuration files from %OEM% and %USR% are saved in the selected
backup file (e.g., BKUP2005-04-05_tnc320-sw123.ZIP); see
%OEM%\config\Configfiles.cfg:
- All files from %OEM% in the "_Oem_Config_Files_.zip" file
- All files from %USR% in the "_Usr_Config_Files_.zip" file
The update files listed in Configfiles.cfg under updateFiles:= are not saved in the
backup file.
• Activate parameter files from backup
The *.cfg configuration files from %OEM% and %USR% are retrieved from the selected
backup file and activated.
• Save help information in file
The following file name (to be supplemented) is suggested:
%OEM%\service\HELPyear-month-day_.TXT
The created text file with the selected name contains the help information about all of
the parameter objects and attributes. If a parameter exists more than once, for example
several axes, only the information about the first parameter is saved.
• Save data tree in file
The following file name (to be supplemented) is suggested:
%OEM%\service\TREEyear-month-day_.TXT
The created text file with the selected name contains the current values of all parameter
objects and attributes.
Note:You can also use the PC software TNCbackup for backing up your data in
an easy and convenient way. TNCbackup is part of the TNCremoNT and is
available free of charge from ANILAM, for example from the file base on the
internet (filebase.anilam.de).
