1 Update Information No. 1

1.1Overview

1.2NC Software 548 328-02

1.2.1 Important notes on updating software

Please remember the following important information when updating the software versions listed below:

MANUALplus 620: 548 328-01 to 548 328-02

Note

If you are using linear encoders with EnDat interface or motor encoders with EnDat interface for position measurement on your machine, you must carry out the following step.

Move the EnDat axes to known positions before the update:

A function for monitoring the SRAM contents for consistency is introduced with the new NC software. After the software update, all EnDat axes will therefore display the error message S-RAM contents of axis are invalid. At the same time, the control will display a dialog box for confirmation, in which the current (the displayed) position of the axis is compared with the physical (switch-off) position.

Move the axes to known positions before the update.

Write down the switch-off positions.

After the control has booted with the new software for the first time, confirm the positions of the EnDat axes.

Note

HEIDENHAIN recommends:

Making a backup of the control (e.g. with TNCbackup), before updating the

NC software.

Saving your current machine configuration. The configuration editor (DATA

BACKUP soft key) can be used for this purpose.

If you later want to undo the software update and return to the previous software version, you need the saved configuration data of the old version!

Note

Please perform the update of the NC software as described in the Technical

Manual in Chapter 2 "NC Software Exchange".

Note

Be sure to remember the important information about the software update, which is provided on the following pages.

November 2010

1.2 NC Software 548 328-02

Checking and saving new machine parameters:

After having installed the new NC software and rebooted the control, you must check and confirm the new machine parameters. The code number dialog box appears on the screen:

Enter the MP code number 95148 and confirm your entry with the ENT key.

Press the UPDATE RULES soft key.

Check the listed update rules. Each entry in the list stands for a new parameter that was added to the system by the update.

Exit the UPDATE RULES with the END soft key.

Press the CONFIG DATA soft key.

Before the configuration editor opens, an informational window is displayed, reporting the removal of the CfgRestorePosition machine parameter. Press the NEXT soft key.

All new machine parameters are marked with a red exclamation point in the configuration editor. The control indicates if certain machine parameters are faulty. Please ignore these messages for the time being.

Important step: Press the SAVE soft key.

The Configuration data changed dialog box opens. Press the SAVE soft key again. The new machine parameters are now automatically saved in the *.cfg files.

Press the END soft key and exit the Machine Parameter operating mode by pressing the END soft key again.

The control then continues booting.

Note

The definition file of the symbolic programming interface API 3.0 has been expanded. You must perform the step described below in order for the PLC program to be compiled successfully after the update.

Replace the apimarker.def file:

During the update of the NC software, a new version of the apimarker.def file was automatically copied to the PLC partition of the control. Proceed as follows:

Switch to the Organization mode of operation.

Enter the code number 95148 to call the Machine Parameter mode of operation.

Press the END soft key and switch the soft-key row.

Press the PGMMGT soft key to open the file manager.

Switch to the PLC:\proto\plc directory.

Copy the apimarker.def file to the program directory of your PLC program. Overwrite the existing apimarker.def file:

18	HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual MANUALplus 620

Note

Please also copy the apimarker.def file to your PC as well, and add it to the PLCdesignNT project. Otherwise, during the next transfer of PLC project files to the control, the file might be overwritten by the old version.

Note

After an update, please modify the previous file oem_turning.mcg as described below, and add it to the PLCdesignNT project. Otherwise, during the next transfer of PLC project files to the control, the file oem_turning.mcg might be overwritten by the old version, which leads to an error.

Modify the max. number of spindles in the file oem.mcg or oem_turning.mcg:

To modify the max. number of spindles in the PLC file oem.mcg or oem_turning.mcg, proceed as follows:

...

DEFINE SPINDLE_COUNT

= 6

; (old: =4)

1.2 NC Software 548 328-02

19

Note

After an update, please modify the previous file plc.cfg as described below, and add it to the PLCdesignNT project. Otherwise, during the next transfer of PLC project files to the control, the file plc.cfg might be overwritten by the old version, which leads to an error (Fatal Error Syntax).

Modify the plc.cfg file:

The current plc.cfg file is located in the control in the directory PLC:\config\lathe\manplus\plc.cfg. You can use TNCremoNT to copy the file from the control to the PLC project, or you can use PLCdesignNT to modify the previous file in the PLC project.

Make the following changes to the plc.cfg file:

CfgPlcOverrideDev (
key:="PotentiometerF",
source:=OVR1,
mop:="MB",	; This line must be added.

Note

Please observe the following note if you

are using the HEIDENHAIN PLC Basic Program!

It is essential that you check and modify the PLC program:

The behavior of the symbolic API marker NN_ChnProgCancel (NC program cancelation) has been changed: NN_ChnProgCancel will now be set every time the NC program is canceled. For a normal end of program,

NN_ChnProgEnd will be set. The NN_ChnProgCancel marker remains set during the complete Cancel cycle and beyond the program end until the next NC program is started.

When a program is canceled, the NN_ChnProgEnd marker will not be set. The end of program run, including the execution of a Cancel cycle, has been reached when NN_ChnControlInOperation is reset. NN_ChnProgCancel and NN_ChnProgEnd will be reset when NN_ChnControlInOperation is set again.

If both NN_ChnProgCancel and NN_ChnControlInOperation are set, this indicates that the Cancel cycle is being executed.

Module 9429 or 9320 can be used to inquire the reason for the program cancelation.

1.2 NC Software 548 328-02

23

Overview of the	A summary of the improvements in NC software 548 328-02 is given below.
improvements	For more detailed information, please refer to the Technical Manual sections
	indicated in the brief descriptions given below.
Machine	New: Search for the iTNC MP number in the configuration editor
Configuration		For numerous machine parameters, the compatible iTNC MP number is
		stored in the help text in the configuration editor. Up to now, it has not been
		possible to search the configuration for these numbers. The search function
		of the configuration editor now enables you to search for the iTNC MP
		number (selection: MP number). See "Finding / Replacing" on page 257.
	New: Separate parameter numbers for OEM parameters
		In order for the OEM to group the parameters in the configuration editor
		according to his own needs, or to make them easier to find, there is now a
		separate number range for the OEM. Numbers 900000 to 999999 are
		reserved for the OEM. For those parameters for which an OEM number is
		defined, this number is shown instead of the HEIDENHAIN number. The
		numbers are to be defined in the
		%OEM%\config\layout\PlcUniqueNumbers.xml file. If the file is missing or
		empty, no OEM numbers will be displayed. For more information, please
		refer to “User Parameters" on page 277.
	Expanded: OEM motor table (only digital control)
		Until now, if the OEM-specific motor table (path:
		PLC:\table\motor_oem.mot) was missing, a warning was issued and the
		user had to create the table himself. Now no warning will be issued. The
		control itself creates a new blank table as soon as the MP_motName
		(401301) parameter is edited. If the OEM motor table exists but columns are
		missing, then the columns that exist in the SYS motor table will be
		transferred to the OEM motor table during copying. The control indicates
		which columns were not copied.
	Expanded: Saving update rules
		If the user tries to exit the configuration editor without saving the changes
		made by the update rules, a dialog window appears prompting the user to
		save the data. The configuration editor cannot be exited until the data are
		saved, see “Update rules" on page 265.
		Note
		The first restart of the control after the update cannot be continued without
		saving the configuration changes made by the update rules.

104400	CfgPlcOverrideS		CfgPlcOverrideDev, CfgPlcOverrideS,
			CfgPlcOverrideF and
			CfgPlcOverrideR was changed from
			NOTHING to RESET. The control
			must now be rebooted after a
			parameter change.
105201	CfgSystemTime	MP_offsetToUTC	Values with decimal places can now
			be entered for time differences to
			universal time (GMT). This is
			necessary for parts of Australia (+8.5
			and +9.5 hours) and Kazakhstan (+3.5
			hours), for example. Also, the
			maximum value was extended from
			+13 to +14 [hours].
400011	CfgAxisHardware	MP_posEncoder	The default value of the parameter

Operation and technology

Machine interfacing

Enhanced: Dashboard display of PLC signals

The attribute evaluation of the dashboard element "LoadDisplay" was enhanced so that PLC data can now optionally also be transferred to this element. Therefore, it is now also possible for analog control to realize a load display for axis and spindle drives directly in the dashboard, see “Load display for analog drives" on page 1036.

Enhanced: Update of NC software

The NC software can now also be updated while it is running. The new code number 231019 was therefore introduced, see “Start update while software is running on the control" on page 98.

Enhanced: Log

The display of the control's log was improved. The accumulated keystrokes are now stored simultaneously with the control events in the log and are displayed in table view.

In order to be able to track machine operation or machine conditions systematically, detailed additional information is entered and stored simultaneously with all important log entries, such as keystrokes, errors, system errors or warnings, see “Error messages and log files" on page 907.

Enhanced: Display of configuration errors during start-up

If configuration errors occur during control start-up, the Error during start-up message appears instead of Power interrupted. Also, the error messages for the incorrect configuration data, which are triggered by the applications, are displayed individually.

New: Additional data types for table columns

The control supports additional data types for columns in NC tables. The FEED_CUT column data type applies to the cutting speed in units of m/min or feet/min. The FEED_ROT column data type applies to the feed rate per revolution in units of mm/rev or inch/rev. As usual, the new column data types are listed as enumeration values of parameter MP_unit (105602) of the configuration object CfgColumnDescription.

Enhanced: Integrated oscilloscope – Selection of symbolic operands

In the MIOTC dialog (dialog box for selecting markers, inputs, outputs, timers and counters) in the integrated oscilloscope, symbolic API operands can now also be selected and displayed conveniently in a list. See "Setup for digital signals" on page 806.

New: Integrated oscilloscope – Circular interpolation test

A circular interpolation test can now be performed with the integrated oscilloscope. See "Circular interpolation test with the integrated oscilloscope" on page 814.

New: Test of internal EMERGENCY STOP by code number

For test purposes, the behavior during an internal EMERGENCY STOP can now be simulated in order to inspect the correct wiring of the machine. The control-is-ready output is reset, and the NC and PLC are no longer operable. It is essential that you support hanging axes before the test in order to prevent damage to the machine in case of error. To start the test, press the CODE NUMBER soft key and enter the code number 6871232. Enter the code number again to reset the control status to "ready for operation."

Configuring the

Axes and Spindle

PLC programming

New: Software option #70 – Y-axis machining

With a Y axis you can drill and mill a workpiece on its front, back and lateral surfaces.

During use of the Y-axis, two axes interpolate linearly or circularly in the given working plane, while the third axis interpolates linearly. This enables you to machine slots or pockets, for example, with plane floors and perpendicular edges. By defining the spindle angle, you can determine the position of the milling contour on the workpiece.

If the Y axis is to be positioned at an angle not equal to 90° to the X or Z axis, the Y axis can also be configured as an oblique axis.

For configuring the Y axis, please refer to “Configuring the Y axis" on page 1066. For information on programming the Y axis, please refer to the User’s Manual for the control.

New: Software option #94 – W-axis support

The control can now offset the display of movements in the Z axis with those of its parallel secondary axis W. The W axis is already configured in the control kinematics and can be moved via the PLC.

For more information on the configuration of the W axis, please refer to “Configuring the W axis" on page 1073.

New: Spindle change key

Starting immediately, a spindle change key can be supported by the PLC. It assigns the input (TSF dialog) to the selected spindle. The selected spindle is identified in the corresponding display element of the dashboard. See “Selection of spindle and channel by PLC" on page 1039.

Enhanced: Backlash compensation

If nonlinear axis-error compensation is active, MP_backLash can now be used to activate backlash compensation in addition to the compensation-value tables, see “Axis Error Compensation" on page 467.

Enhanced: Symbolic memory interface (API 3.0) – New operands introduced:

PLC operand / Description	Model
NP_ChnProgSelected	M
NC program selected
This marker can be used to interrogate whether an
NC program is selected in the Program Run modes of
operation. The marker is not set if an NC program is
selected from a pallet table.
NN_ChnFeedRapidTraverseActive	M

0:Rapid traverse is active (FMAX)

1:Rapid traverse is not active

Changed: Behavior of NN_ChnToolLifeExpired (tool life 1 expired)

The status of NN_ChnToolLifeExpired is now reset by the PLC runtime system after the end of an NC program.

New: PLC process monitor

In the PLC programming mode you can use the MONITOR and PROCESS MONITOR soft keys to open a status screen in which the control displays all parallel processes, as well as the process for the submit queue. See "Control of events" on page 1328.

Enhanced: Compilation of PLC program

•If the PLC program has already been compiled in the PLC Programming mode of operation before the Power interrupted message has been acknowledged, the PLC program will not be compiled again when the message is acknowledged. This change makes it possible to observe the PLC operands with the integrated oscilloscope during start-up of the PLC program:

-Start the control, do not acknowledge the Power interrupted message.

-Compile the PLC program in the PLC Programming mode of operation.

-Activate the integrated oscilloscope in order to observe the desired PLC operands and start the measurement.

-Acknowledge the Power interrupted message now for the control to start the PLC program.

•Now a PLC program is compiled even if the machine parameters refer to symbolic names of PLC operands that are not defined in the PLC program. The control issues an error message for every undefined symbolic name and then compiles the PLC program.

Attention

A PLC program with undefined symbolic PLC operands can lead to hazardous behavior of the machine! It is essential that you check whether the parameters for configuring the M functions (CfgPlcMStrobe) contain meaningful strobe definitions. The data of strobe definitions must be mapped onto defined PLC operands.

Enhanced: Commands for string processing

Symbolic operands (B/W/D operands) can now be used for indexed access to the string operands "S" or the PLC error and dialog files, see “Commands for String Processing" on page 1313.

Enhanced: WATCH LIST and TRACE function

New TYPE column: Type (M for marker, B for byte, W for word, etc.) of the PLC operand, see “The WATCH LIST function" on page 1100.

The ADD TO WATCH LIST soft key can be used to transfer the PLC operands of the currently highlighted line to the WATCH LIST, see “The TRACE function" on page 1104.

Enhanced: EDIT function

The features and the operation of the editor were changed. The editor is now a full-fledged ASCII editor. The cursor can be positioned in all directions and line breaks can be inserted, see “The EDIT function" on page 1107.

New: Moving PLC axes with the handwheel

It is now possible to assign a PLC axis to a handwheel via Module 9036. In the El. Handwheel mode of operation, the machine operator can use the axis keys to select a PLC axis and move it with the handwheel.
