The suffixes E and F indicate the export versions of the TNC The
export versions of the TNC have the following limitations:
n Linear movement is possible in no more than 4 axes simultaneously.
The machine tool builder adapts the useable features of the TNC to his
machine by setting machine parameters. Some of the functions
described in this manual may not be among the features provided by
your machine tool.
TNC functions that may not be available on your machine include:
n Probing function for the 3-D touch probe
n Digitizing option
n Tool measurement with the TT 130
n Rigid tapping
n Returning to the contour after an interruption
Please contact your machine tool builder to become familiar with the
features of your machine.
Many machine manufacturers, as well as HEIDENHAIN, offer
programming courses for the TNCs. We recommend these courses as
an effective way of improving your programming skill and sharing
information and ideas with other TNC users.
Touch Probe Cycles User's Manual:
All of the touch probe functions are described in a separate
manual. Please contact HEIDENHAIN if you require a copy
of this User's Manual. ID number: 329 203-xx.

1.1 The TNC 410, the TNC 426 and
the TNC 430
HEIDENHAIN TNC controls are workshop-oriented contouring
controls that enable you to program conventional machining
operations right at the machine in an easy-to-use conversational
programming language. They are designed for milling, drilling and
boring machines, as well as for machining centers. The TNC 410 can
control up to 4 axes, the TNC 426 up to 5 axes, and the TNC 430 up to
9 axes. You can also change the angular position of the spindle under
program control.
An integrated hard disk provides storage for as many programs as you
like, even if they were created off-line or by digitizing. For quick
calculations you can call up the on-screen pocket calculator at any
time.
Keyboard and screen layout are clearly arranged in such a way that the
functions are fast and easy to use.
Programming: HEIDENHAIN conversational and ISO formats
HEIDENHAIN conversational programming is an especially easy
method of writing programs. Interactive graphics illustrate the
individual machining steps for programming the contour. If a
production drawing is not dimensioned for NC, the HEIDENHAIN FK
free contour programming does the necessary calculations
automatically. Workpiece machining can be graphically simulated
either during or before actual machining. It is also possible to program
in ISO format or DNC mode.
You can also enter and test one program while the control is running
1.1 The TNC 410, the TNC 426 and the TNC 430
another. With the TNC 426, TNC 430 it is also possible to test one
program while another is being run.
Compatibility
The TNC can execute all part programs that were written on
HEIDENHAIN controls TNC 150 B and later.

1.2 Visual Display Unit and
Keyboard
Visual display unit
The TNC is available with either a color CRT screen (BC 120) or a TFT
flat panel display (BF 120). The figure at top right shows the keys and
controls on the BC 120, and the figure at center right shows those of
the BF 120.
1 Header
When the TNC is on, the selected operating modes are shown in
the screen header: the machining mode at the left and the
programming mode at right. The currently active mode is
displayed in the larger box, where the dialog prompts and TNC
messages also appear (unless the TNC is showing only graphics).
2 Soft keys
In the footer the TNC indicates additional functions in a soft-key
row. You can select these functions by pressing the keys
immediately below them. The lines immediately above the softkey row indicate the number of soft-key rows that can be called
with the black arrow keys to the right and left. The line
representing the active soft-key row is highlighted.

The BC 120 is sensitive to magnetic and electromagnetic noise, which
can distort the position and geometry of the picture. Alternating fields
can cause the picture to shift periodically or to become distorted.
Screen layout
You select the screen layout yourself: In the Programming and Editing
1.2 Visual Display Unit and Keyboard
mode of operation, for example, you can have the TNC show program
blocks in the left window while the right window displays
programming graphics (only TNC 410). The available screen windows
depend on the selected operating mode.
To change the screen layout:
Press the SPLIT SCREEN key: The soft-key row
shows the available layout options (see “Modes of
Operation,” page 6).
Select the desired screen layout.
