General Description of the PROFIL Function

1.1 General

PROFIL is a graphic module installed in the numerical control (CNC).
PROFIL can be used to create contours of milled or turned workpieces, etc., using

ISO programming or PROCAM interactive programming.

1.2 Capabilities of the PROFIL Function

PROFIL allows the user to create all or part of workpiece contours made up of a
sequence of geometric elements (irregular or freehand contours) or predefined
shapes (rectangles, circles or polygons) then machine these contours by calling
subroutines.

PROFIL also offers the possibility of:

- Immediately viewing the contour elements being created

- Modifying a contour being created or editing a contour already created

- Transforming, duplicating or deleting a contour.

1

It should be noted that:

- Contour creation can be carried out in background mode (during execution of a
part programme)

- The contours are generated by PROFIL in ISO language

- PROFIL can be used in place of the Profil Geometry Programming (PGP) function.

en-938937/0 1 - 3

1.3 PROFIL Operating Procedures

When creating or editing a contour, the user must make choices in a page displayed
on the screen.

1.3.1 Configuration of a PROFIL Screen Page

The PROFIL function uses a special screen page configuration. This page includes
four windows, three of which are dedicated to PROFIL and one to the CNC.

The page displayed below is the one that appears at the beginning of creation of a
new contour (see "Entering and Exiting from the PROFIL Function").

1.3.2 Description of Windows

General Description of the PROFIL Function

1.3.2.1 CNC Status Window

The status window indicates the current status of the CNC (see Operator Manual).

1.3.2.2 Graphic Window

The graphic window displays a graphic view of the contour being created or already
created.

1.3.2.3 Data Window

The data window displays various data concerning the contour being created or
already created.

1.3.2.4 Dialogue Window

The dialogue window contains various commands, data and tools for use of PROFIL.
Depending on the configuration, the dialogue window can contain:

- A selection of data or items

- A selection of operating tools

- Values or data to be entered.

REMARK Depending on the stage of creation of a contour, certain commands or

operating tools may be masked in the dialogue window, which means
they cannot be selected. Only the items and tools in boldface
characters can be selected.

1.3.3.2 Cursor Control Keys

When entering values, the cursor control keys are used to select a field or switch
between the fields appearing in the dialogue window.

When editing values, the left and right arrow keys allow you to move around inside
the field selected.

Negative Values
The minus sign (-) can be entered after entering the value. When confirmed by the

Enter key, the minus sign is placed before the value.

en-938937/0 1 - 9

1.3.4 Data or Value Entry Fields

Field Types

The dialogue window may contain fields of different types preceded by their names.
These fields are rectangular.

A distinction is made between:

- Entry fields

- Selection fields.

Entry Field
An entry field allows transfer (or entry) of characters entered on the keyboard or

transfer of predefined data.
Selection Field

This type of field contains a list of data to be selected.

REMARK The data entered (or selected) in the field are highlighted.

Contents of the Fields

Values in Millimetres
Range: 0 to 999999 maximum.
When a value above 999999 is entered, the field is a initialised with the value 0.

Values in Degrees
Range: 0 to 360.
The value must be entered in degrees and thousandths of a degree.

1.4 Coordinate System

The working plane in which the contour is to be created must be defined in the PROFIL
entry page. When the page is confirmed, the plane selected is stored and each
coordinate defining the contour is assigned to the axes of the plane.

Working Planes

Possible working planes:

- X-Y

- Y-Z

- Z-X.

REMARK The working plane selected in the PROFIL entry page cannot be

modified after creating the contour. For parts to be machined in
different working planes, each contour must be created in a separate
subroutine.

1.6 Contour Numbering

When a new contour is created, the system automatically assigns the lowest
available number by default. This number can be modified immediately or after
saving the contour (range from 1 to 383 maximum).

Renumbering a Contour after Saving It

You can renumber a contour after saving it when the dialogue window containing the
contour identifier is displayed. This window is displayed by selecting the contour in
the graphic window then selecting "Information" in the "- PROFILE -" menu.

Note on Numbering of Contour Copies

When you copy a contour by applying a geometric transformation (see Sec. 2.3),
copies of the contour are created and the smallest available numbers are assigned
by default.

Example: Making three copies of contour No. 3.
If contour numbers 1, 3 and 4 are already assigned, numbers 2, 5 and 6 are assigned

to the three new copies.

General Description of the PROFIL Function

1.7 Calling a Contour Created by PROFIL

To be executable, a numbered contour created by PROFIL must be called. The call
can be made in two different ways:

- By the subroutine call function G77

- From a G63, G64 or G65 machining cycle.

The contour call syntax differs according as the contour was created inside the main
part programme or in a separate subroutine.

1.7.1 Contour Call by Function G77

General Contour Call Syntax by Function G77

G77 [H..] [N.. N..] P.. [S..]

G77 Unconditional contour call.
H.. Number of the external subroutine containing the

contour.
N.. N.. Number of the first and last contour block.
P.. Number of the contour created by the PROFIL function.
S.. Number of repetitions of the contour created.
