Programming
2.1Activation of functions
Machine data 18800 $MN_EXTERN_LANGUAGE is used to activate the
external language. The language type, ISO Dialect–M or T is selected with
machine data 10880 $MN_EXTERN_CNC_SYSTEM.
The external language can be activated separately for each channel. For
example, channel 1 can operate in ISO mode but channel 2 is active in
Siemens mode.

Switchover
Siemens mode
ISO Dialect mode
The following two G commands from Group 47 are used to switch between
Siemens mode and ISO Dialect mode:
S G290 Siemens NC programming language active
S G291 ISO Dialect NC programming language active
The active tool, tool offsets and zero offsets remain active here (see Subsection
2.2.4 and Section 2.4).
The following conditions apply when Siemens mode is active:
S Siemens G commands are interpreted on the control by default.
S It is not possible to extend the Siemens programming system with ISO
Dialect functions because some of the G functions have different meanings.
S Downloadable MD files can be used to switch the control to ISO Dialect
mode. In this case, the user sees the ISO Dialect mode by default.
The following conditions apply when ISO Dialect mode is active:
S Only ISO Dialect G codes can be programmed, not Siemens G codes.
S It is not possible to use a mixture of ISO Dialect code and Siemens code in
the same NC block.
S It is not possible to switch between ISO Dialect M and ISO Dialect T via
G command
S If further Siemens functions are to be used, it is necessary to switch to
Siemens mode first (exception: program branches and subprogram calls,
see Subsection 2.3.2)

G commands
Data management
Modal G commands which have the same function in both systems (Siemens
and ISO Dialect) are treated as follows.
When these G codes are programmed in one language, the equivalent G code
in the other language is determined and activated. The following G codes are
affected:
ISO programs can be both read into and output from the MMC 103 in
punchtape format.
ISO programs which have been read in are stored in the NC data management
system as main programs in the default path:
_N_WKS_DIR/_N_SHOPMILL_WPD.
Y ou can change the entry by editing the file DINO.INI in the USER directory. You

Non-modal and modal macro:
The programmed subprogram is called. Switchover to Siemens mode only
takes place when the PROC instruction is used in the first line of the
subprogram.
If a program of this type is terminated with M17 or RET, when the subprogram
returns, the mode is switched back to ISO mode.

2.2 G commands
Note
If individual G codes of the groups in Table 2-3 cannot be mapped, the default
setting in machine data
$MC_EXTERN_GCODE_RESET_VALUES and/or
$MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES
is activated.
Example: ISO mode
N5G00 X100. Y100.
N10 G90;Activate G90 in ISO mode Group 3
;In Siemens mode Group 14
N15 G290;Switch over to Siemens, G90 is active

;In Siemens mode Group 14
N25 G291;Switch over to ISO mode
N30 G291;G91 is active
2.2.1G code display
In the G code display, the G codes for the currently active language are
displayed. G290/G291 also causes the G code display to switch over.
Example:
The Siemens standard cycles are called up using some of the ISO Dialect
mode G functions (e.g. G28). DISPLOF is programmed at the start of the cycle,
with the result that the ISO Dialect G commands remain active for the display.
PROC CYCLE328 SAVE DISPLOF
N10 ...
...
N99 RET
Sequence:
S External main program calls Siemens shell cycle.
Siemens mode is selected implicitly on the shell cycle call.
S DISPLOF freezes the block display at the call block;
the G code display remains in external mode. This display is refreshed while
the Siemens cycle is running.
2.2.2Display of non–modal G codes
As of SW 6.4 the external non–modal G codes (group 18) will no longer be reset
on block change if these G codes call up subprograms. The G codes remain
visible on the display until the next jump out of this subprogram.
Switching to external language mode in the subprogram and programming
another G code from group 18 overwrites the previous value and the new value
is retained until the return jump.
Example:
Siemens AG, 2002. All rights reserved
SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D, Description of Functions ISO Dialects (FBFA) – 11.02 Edition
The behavior of G group transfer to PLC is described in machine data
$MC_GCODE_GROUPS_TO_PLC_MODE.
The previous behavior was for the G group to be the array index of a 64 byte
field (DBB 208 – DBB 271). That way, up to the 64th G group can be reached.
Only the G groups of the standard or external language can be displayed.
The new behavior is for the data storage in the PLC to be up to 8 bytes (DBB
208 – DBB 215), i.e. up to 8 G groups can be output.
This method has the array index of machine data
$MC_GCODE_GROUPS_TO_PLC[ ] or
$MC_EXTERN_GCODE_GROUPS_TO_PLC[ ] equal to the array index of the
data storage in the PLC (DBB 208 – DBB215).
The G code group from MD $MC_GCODE_GROUPS_TO_PLC[ ] is output in
DBB 208.
The advantage is that Siemens mode and ISO mode G codes can be output
simultaneously.
Because only the G code of one language can be output in a DBB2xx, each
index (0 –7) can only be set on one of the two machine data, and the value 0
must be entered in the other MD. Errors are signaled with Alarm 4045.
The following G codes are then available on the PLC

Fig. 2-1Instantaneous mapping of the ISO functions onto the Siemens frames
The zero offsets that are available in ISO mode are mapped onto the existing
Siemens frames. No separate frames exist for ISO mode. Active zero offsets
are incorporated in both language modes.
Changes in ISO mode have an immediate effect in Siemens mode and
vice–versa.
Zero offsets exist in both ISO Dialect T and ISO Dialect M:
S G52 is a programmable, additive ZO that remains active until the end of the
program or a reset
S G54 to G59 are settable zero offsets

S G54 P1...P100 are additional settable zero offsets
S G54 P0 is an “external ZO” extOffset

2.2 G commands
G54.1
G54.1 Pxx is provided as an alternative notation to G54 Pxx. The functionality is
identical. With G54.1 the P address must always be programmed in the block. If
P is not programmed, alarm 12080 (syntax error) is produced.
2.2.5Writing a zero offset with G10
G10 can be used from the parts program to write the zero offsets.
G10 L2 P1...P6 X.. Y..; G54.. G59
G10 L20 P1...P100; Additional, settable ZO
G10 L2 P0External ZO extOffset
These zero offsets are mapped onto the same frames as the zero offsets that
already exist in ISO Dialect M.
The G10 command is extended for ISO dialect T :
Writing of system data
G10 Pxx X Y Z;writing of tool offset data
Depending on machine data $MC_EXTERN_FUNCTION_MASK, bit1, G10
Pxx is used to write either tool geometry or tool wear.
$MC_EXTERN_FUNCTION_MASK, bit1 = 0:
P > 100 write geometry values
P < 100 write wear values
$MC_EXTERN_FUNCTION_MASK, bit 1=1:
P > 10000 write geometry values
P < 10000 write wear values
2.2.6Decimal point programming
There are two notations for the interpretation of programming values without a
decimal point in ISO Dialect mode:
S Pocket calculator type notation
Values without decimal points are interpreted as mm, inch or degrees.
S Standard notation
Values without decimal points are multiplied by a conversion factor.
The setting is defined by MD 10884, see Chapter 4 “Startup”.
There are two different conversion factors, IS-B and IS-C. This evaluation refers
to addresses X Y Z U V W A B C I J K Q R and F.
Example of linear axis in mm:
X 100.5 corresponds to value with decimal point: 100.5mm
X 1000 pocket calculator type notation: 1000mm
standard notation: IS-B: 1000* 0.001= 1mm
IS-C: 1000* 0.0001 = 0.1mm

2.2.8Scaling and mirroring: G51, G51.1 (ISO Dialect M)
G51 selects scaling and mirroring, G51.1.
There are two scaling modes:
S Axial scaling with parameters I, J, K
If I, J, K is not programmed in the G51 block, the default value from the setting
data is effective.
Negative axial scaling factors have the additional effect of mirroring.
S Scaling in all axes with scale factor P
If P is not programmed in the G51 block, the default value from the setting data
is effective. Negative P values are not possible.
The scale factors are multiplied by either 0.001 or 0.00001.

Mirroring
G51.1 selects mirroring.
Mirroring is performed around a mirror axis that runs parallel to X, Y or Z and
whose position is programmed with X, Y or Z. G51.1 X0 is used to mirror about
the X axis and G51.1 X10 is used to mirror about an axis that runs parallel to
the X axis at a distance of 10mm.
All axes in the channel and not just the geometry axes can be mirrored.
G51.1 functions additively, i.e. following N5 G51.1 X10 and N10 G51.1 Y10,
mirroring in X and V is active.
ExampleG51.1 X80.
Mirroring is performed around a mirror axis that runs parallel to Y and that

Mirroring is deselected with G50.1 X0 Y0. It can also be deselected for
individual axes. Following G50.1 X0, mirroring is only deselected for the X axis;
mirroring around all other axes remains active.
G51.1 and G50.1 must be in a block of their own.
G51.1 is mapped onto channel–specific base frame [1]. For this purpose, MD

When base frame[1] is changed in Siemens mode, it directly affects the function
in ISO mode.
If the frame is deleted in every frame component, this corresponds to a G50.1

A programmed angle R is not entered in setting data
$SA_DEFAULT_ROT_FACTOR_R. This setting data can only be written
manually and is effective provided that no R has been programmed in the G68
block.

G code G68 has been expanded for 3D rotation.
G68 X.. Y.. Z.. I.. J.. K.. R..
X.. Y.. Z..:Coordinates of the pivot point related to the current
workpiece zero. If a coordinate is not programmed
the pivot point is at the workpiece zero. The value is always
interpreted as anabsolute value. The coordinates of the pivot
point act likea zero offset. A G90/91 in the block hasno effect
on the G68 command.
I.. J.. K..:Vector in the pivot point. The coordinate system is rotated
about this vector by the angle R.
R:Angle of rotation, always interpreted as an absolute value.
If an angleis not programmed, the angle from setting
data 42150 $SA_DEFAULT_ROT_FACTOR_R is active.
G68 must be in a block of its own.
The distinction between 2D and 3D rotation is determined solely by
programming the vector I, J, K. If no vector exists in the block, G68 2DRot is
selected. If a vector exists in the block, G68 3DRot is selected.
If a vector of length 0 (I0, Y0, K0) is programmed, the alarm 12560
“Programmed value lies outside the permissible limits” is output.

With G68, two rotations can be connected in series. If a G68 is not already
active in a block containing G68, the rotation is written into channel-specific
base frame 2. If G68 is already active, the rotation is written in channel-specific
base frame 3. This means that both rotations are activated in sequence.
With G69, 3D rotation is terminated. If two rotations are active, they are both
deactivated with G69. G69 does not have to be in a block of its own.
2.2.10Polar coordinates: G15 (ISO Dialect M)
In ISO Dialect mode, NC program sections programmed with polar coordinates
must commence with start command G16. Until the end command G15 is
reached, the coordinates of the end points are interpreted as the polar
coordinate values for radius and angle in the current plane.
The first axis of the plane is the polar radius, the second axis is the polar angle,
i.e. X is the radius and Y is the angle for G17.
After G16 a new pole is set in each block up to G15, with the result as follows
for G17:
S G90 XThe pole is at the workpiece zero
2 Programming
2.2 G commands
Programmed angle
S G91 XThe pole is at the current position
S No X in the blockThe pole is at the workpiece zero
If the pole is moved from the current position to the workpiece zero, the radius is
calculated as the distance from the current position to the workpiece zero.
Example:
N5 G17 G90 X0 Y0
N10 G16 X100. Y45.Polar coordinates ON, pole is the workpiece zero,
Position X 70,711 Y 70,711 in the Cartesian

N15 G91 X100 G90 Y0 Pole is the current position, position X 170,711
Y 70,711
N20 Y90.No X in block, pole is at workpiece zero,
Radius = SORT(X*X +Y*Y) = 184,776
The polar radius is always traversed as an absolute distance; the polar angle
can be interpreted as an absolute or incremental value.
In the case of active polar coordinate programming, the programmed angle can
be read via the system variable $P_AP.
This variable is inserted in the shell cycle. Before the new pole is set, with
incremental programming, the angle must be stored because the angle will be
deleted.
Polar programming is terminated by G15. The polar radius is set to 0.

G12.1 and G13.1 are used to switch on and switch off an interpolation in the
processing level between an axis of rotation and a linear axis. A second linear
axis passes vertically through this plane. This function corresponds to the
Transmit function in Siemens mode. In Siemens mode, two Transmit
transformations can be parameterized. For G12.1 the first TRANSMIT data
block is always the one which must correspond to the second transformation

2.2.12Cylindrical interpolation G07.1 (G107)
Function G07.1 (cylindrical interpolation) can be used to mill any kind of
grooving on cylindrical bodies. The path of the grooving is programmed by
reference to the developed, level surface of the cylinder barrel. Cylindrical
interpolation is started in function G07.1 by specifying the cylindrical radius
G07.1 C<cylindrical radius> and ended with G07.1 C0 (radius = 0).
The function is mapped internally onto the Siemens functionality TRACYL. In
ISO Dialect mode, G07.1 always activates the first TRACYL transformation and
the first transformation record. The second TRACYL function cannot be
activated in ISO Dialect mode. For a detailed description and the parameter
setting for the first TRACYL function, please refer to the following

A subprogram can be defined as an interrupt routine with M96 P <program
number>.
This program is started by an external signal. The first high–speed NC input of
the 8 inputs available in Siemens mode is always used to start the interrupt
routine. Machine data $MN_EXTERN_INTERRUPT_NUM_ASUP lets you
select an other fast input (1 – 8).
The function is mapped onto standard syntax: SETINT(1) <program name>
[PRIO=1].
In shell cycle CYCLE396, the interrupt program programmed with Pxxxx is
called in ISO mode. The program number is in $C_PI. At the end of the shell
cycle, machine data $MN_EXTERN_INTERRUPT_BITS_M96 BIT1 is
evaluated, resulting either in positioning at the interruption point with REPOSA
or in continuation with the next block. The new cycle variable $C_PI contains
the value programmed with “P” without leading zeroes. These must be added to
fill out to four digits in the shell cycle before the subprogram is called.

This corresponds to Standard syntax: ENABLE(1).
x = content of $MN_EXTERN_INTERRUPT_NUM_ASUP
If the interrupt program programmed with M96 Pxx is called up directly with the
interrupt signal (without the intermediate step with CYCLE396), machine data
$MC_EXTERN_FUNCTION_MASK BIT10 must be set. The subprogram
programmed with Pxx is then called on a 0 –> 1 signal transition in Siemens
mode.
The M function numbers for the interrupt function are set via machine data. With
machine data 10804: $MN_EXTERN_M_NO_SET_INT, the M number is used
to activate an interrupt routine and with MD 10806:
$MN_EXTERN_M_NO_DISABLE_INT the M number is used to suppress an
interrupt routine.
Only non-standard M functions are permitted to be set. M functions M96 and
M97 are set as defaults. To activate the function, bit 0 must be set in machine
data 10808: $MN_EXTERN_INTERRUPT_BITS_M96. These M functions will
not be output to the PLC in this case. If bit 0 is not set, the M functions will be
interpreted as conventional auxiliary functions.
On completion of the “Interrupt” program, the end position of the parts program
block that follows the interruption block is approached. If processing of the parts
program has to continue starting from the interruption point, there must be a
REPOS instruction at the end of the “Interrupt” program, e.g. REPOSA. For this
purpose the interrupt program must be written in Siemens mode.
The M functions for activating and deactivating an interrupt program must be in
a block of their own. If further addresses other than “M” and “P” are
programmed in the block, alarm 12080 (syntax error) is output.
Note about
machining cycles
Machine dataMD $MN_EXTERN_INTERRUPT_BITS_M96:
For ISO dialect original, you can set whether a machining cycle will be
interrupted by an interrupt routine immediately or not until the end. The shell
cycles must evaluate machine data $MN_INTERRUPT_BITS_M96 bit 3 for that
purpose. If bit=1, the interrupt must be disabled at the beginning of the cycle
with DISABLE(1) and reactivated at the end of the cycle with ENABLE(1) to
avoid interrupting the machining cycle.
Because the interrupt program is only started on a 0/1 signal transition, the
interrupt input must be monitored with a disabled interrupt during the cycle
runtime with a synchronized action in the shell cycle. If the interrupt signal
switches from 0 to 1, the interrupt signal after the ENABLE(1) must be set once
again at the end of the shell cycle, so that the interrupt program will then start.
To permit writing to the interrupt input in the shell cycle, the machine data
$MN_FASTO_DIG_SHORT_CIRCUIT[1] must be parameterized.
Bit 0: = 0: Interrupt program is not possible, M96/M97 are conventional
M functions

2.2.14Comments
The interrupt routine is handled like a conventional subprogram. This means
that in order to execute the interrupt routine, at least one subprogram level must
be free. (12 program levels are available in Siemens mode, there are 5 in ISO
Dialect mode).
The interrupt routine is only started on a signal transition of the interrupt signal
from 0 to 1. If the interrupt signal remains permanently set to 1, the interrupt
routine will not be restarted.
One program level is reserved for the interrupt routine so that all permissible
program levels can be reserved before the interrupt program is called.
Depending on the machine data, the interrupt program will also be started when
the signal is permanently on.
Parentheses are interpreted as comment characters in ISO Dialect mode. In
Siemens mode, “;” is interpreted as a comment. As a simplification, “;” is also
interpreted as a comment in ISO Dialect mode.

The skip character “/” can be anywhere within the block, even in the middle. If
the programmed skip level is active at the moment of compiling, the block will
not be compiled from this position to the end of the block. An active skip level
therefore has the same effect as an end of block.
Example:
N5 G00 X100. /3 YY100––> Alarm 12080,
N5 G00 X100. /3 YY100––> No alarm when skip level 3 is active
Skip characters within a comment are not interpreted as skip characters.
Example:
N5 G00 X100. ( /3 part1 ) Y100;even when skip level 3 is active, the
;Y axis will be traversed
The skip level can be /1 to /9. Skip values <1 >9 give rise to alarm 14060
The function is mapped onto the existing Siemens skip levels. In contrast to ISO
Dialect Original, / and /1 are separate skip levels and therefore have to be
activated separately.

The following are predefined M functions:
M17, M40, M41, M42, M43, M44, M45, M70, M96, M97, M98, M99.
In ISO Dialect mode the spindle is switched to axis operation with the aid of
M29. The M function number can also be set variably with machine data.
MD 20095 $MC_EXTERN_RIGID_TAPPING_M_NR is used to preset the
M function number. The machine data is only effective in external language
mode and is initialized with M29. It may only be assigned M function numbers
which are not used as default M functions. M function numbers M0-M5, M30,
M98, M99 are not allowed.
The same function is executed in Siemens mode with M70.
MD 20094 $MC_SPIND_RIGID_TAPPING_M_NR is used to preset the M
function number. The machine data is only effective in Siemens mode and is
initialized with M70. This allows an M function other than M70 to be used for the
spindle switchover in Siemens mode. The machine data may only be assigned
M function numbers which are not used as default M functions. The following

2.2.17Align first reference point G28
CYCLE328 is called up automatically when ISO Dialect command “G28 <Axis>”
is read in. <Axis> specifies the intermediate position (incremental or absolute)
via which the reference point is to be approached. The intermediate position
and the reference position are then approached in positioning mode.
The cycle is only valid for the axes supported by ISO Dialect:
S ISO Dialect M:X, Y, Z (A, B, C, U, V, W)
S ISO Dialect T:X, Z, Y (C)
The cycle always runs with radius programming (DIAMOF). When the cycle is
terminated, the G commands that were active before the cycle was called are
effective again.
Before the 1st reference point is approached, various machine data must be
set, see Chapter 4 “Start-Up”.
2.2.18Enable/disable feed–forward control using G08 P..
10.02
Feed-forward control reduces speed-related overtravel during contouring to
virtually nil. Traversing with feed-forward control enables higher contouring
precision and thus better finished results.
Note
Machine data is used to define the type of feed-forward control and which path
axes are to be traversed under pilot actuation.
Default: Speed-dependent feed–forward control.
Option:Acceleration-dependent feed–forward control.
Example: N0010 G08 P1 ; Enable feed-forward control
If G08 is programmed without “P”, alarm 12470 is produced.
To make it more convenient to use G08 P1 to activate other functions such as
SOFT, BRISK etc., G08 P.. is used to call the CYCLE308.spf cycle.
G08 P1 has to be in a block of its own.

2.2.20Automatic corner override G62
At inside corners with active tool radius compensation it is often better to reduce
the feedrate.
G62 only acts at inside corners with active tool radius compensation and active
continuous–path operation. It only takes account of corners whose inside angle
is smaller than $SC_CORNER_SLOWDOWN_CRIT. The inside angle is
determined from the bend in the contour.
The feedrate is reduced by factor $SC_CORNER_SLOWDOWN_OVR:
traveled feedrate = F * $SC_CORNER_SLOWDOWN_OVR * feedrate override.
The feedrate override is now composed of the multiplied feedrate override from
the machine control panel and the override from synchronized actions.
The feedrate reduction is started at distance
$SC_CORNER_SLOWDOWN_START before the corner. It ends at distance
$SC_CORNER_SLOWDOWN_END after the corner (see Fig. 2-6). An
appropriate path is used at curved contours.

termination
Subprogram return
jump with “RET”
M99 terminates the subprogram.
If M99 Pxxxx is programmed, execution resumes at block number Nxxxx on the
return jump to the main program. The block number must always begin with “N”.
The system initially searches forwards for the block number (from the
subprogram call towards the end of the program). If a matching block number is
not found, the parts program is then scanned backwards (towards the start of
the program).
If M99 appears without a block number (Pxxxx) in a subprogram, the
subprogram is terminated and the processor jumps back to the main program to
the block following the subprogram call.
If M99 appears without a block number (Pxxxx) in a main program, the
processor jumps back to the start of the main program and runs the program
again.
These M commands are not output to the PLC.
V alid only for ISO Dialect T.
In the Siemens shell cycles for stock removal (as in ISO Dialect), it is necessary
after roughing to resume program execution in the main program after the
contour definition. To achieve this, the shell cycle must contain a subprogram
return jump to the block after the end of the contour definition. The RET
command has been extended with two optional parameters for skipping the
blocks with the contour definition in the stock removal cycles after the
subprogram call (with G71–G73).
The command RET (STRING: <block number/label>) is used to resume
program execution in the calling program (main program) at the block with
<block number/label>.
If program execution is to be resumed at the next block after <block
number/label>, the 2nd parameter in the RET command must be > 0; RET (
<block number/label>, 1). If a value > 1 is programmed for the 2nd parameter,
the subprogram also jumps back to the block after the block with <block
number/label>.
In G70–G73 cycles, the contour to be machined is stored in the main program.
The extended RET command is required in order to resume execution after the
contour definition in the main program at the end of G70 (finish cut via contour
with stock removal cycle). To jump to the next NC block after the contour
definition at the end of the shell cycle for G70, the shell cycle must be
terminated with the following return syntax:
RET (“N” << $C_Q, 1)
Search direction:
The search direction for <block number/label> is always forwards first (towards
the end of the program) and then backwards (towards the start of the program).

2.3.3Extending the subprogram call for contour preparation
with CONTPRON
In ISO Dialect, the contour definition for stock removal cycles G70 – G73 is not
stored separately in a subprogram (as in SINUMERIK), but appears in the parts
program (main program). When the cycles are called, the contour definition
section is defined by a start and end block number. The cycles receive this
block number as a passed parameter. The indirect subprogram call has been
extended for Siemens adaptation cycles.
Previously , subprograms were called indirectly with CALL <program name>.
The indirect subprogram call has been extended as follows for access to the
contour definition in the main program:
CALL [<program name>] BLOCK <start label> TO <end label>
If no program name or an empty string is specified as the program name, i.e.
CALL BLOCK <start label> TO <end label>, the search for the program section
(start/end label) is made in the program which is currently selected. The search
for the labels is also performed in the selected program with MDA, ASUB etc.
(i.e. in the case of MDA, the search for the labels is performed not in the MDA
buffer but in the program with the selected program name). Programming this
syntax directly in a main program has the same effect as repeating a program
section in a loop with REPEAT <start label> <end label>, i.e. the search for the
start and end label is performed in the program containing the CALL BLOCK ...
command.
If a program name is specified, e.g. CALL <progName> BLOCK <start label>
TO <end label>, the system searches for the program section (surrounded by
the start/end label) in subprogram “progName”.

Note
The actual CONTPRON and EXECUTE calls do not have to be modified.
The start block number (start label) of the contour definition is always searched
first toward the end of the program (forward) and then toward the start of the
program (backward).
If the same block number is programmed more than once, the next block
number (label) after the current block in the program in which the contour
definition is contained, is recognized as the start of the contour definition (see
example). The current block is usually the block in which the stock removal
cycle (shell cycle) was called in the main program.
Example
In stock removal cycle CYCLE395, the contour definition which appears
between blocks N10–N30 in the main program is to be used (with CALL BLOCKN10 TO N30 in CYCLE395). N40 is the current program line in the main
program.

2.3.4Macro commands with G65, G66 and G67
2 Programming
ISO Dialect
Siemens
In ISO Dialect mode, macros are called in the parts program with G65 Pxx, G66
Pxx. A macro is a set of parts program blocks that are terminated with M17.
When the subprogram is called, the mode is switched from ISO mode to
Siemens mode.
The following commands are used for selection and deselection:
S G65 Macro call, non-modal
S G66 Macro call, modal
S G67 Deselect modal macro call
G commands G65 Pxx and G66 Pxx are used to start macro xx. G65 calls
subprogram Pxx once. G66 activates the Pxx subprogram call modally, and the
subprogram is then executed in every block containing axis movements (same
as MCALL xx). G67 deactivates the modal subprogram call again (equivalent to
G80 for cycle calls).
In a parts program block with G65 or G66, the address Pxx is interpreted as the
program number of the subprogram containing the macro functionality. Address
Lxx can be used to define the number of passes of the macro. If a number of
passes is not programmed in the calling block, the macro is executed once. All
further addresses in this parts program block are interpreted (as in ISO Dialect
“Macro B”) as passed parameters, and their programmed values are saved in
system variables $C_A–$C_Z. These system variables can be read in the
subprograms and evaluated for the macro functionality. If further macros are
called with parameters within a macro (subprogram), the passed parameters
must be saved in internal variables in the subprogram before the new macro
call.

2 Programming
2.3 Subprogram and macro technology
As in the case of the machining cycles, the language mode is switched implicitly
to Siemens mode to allow the definition of internal variables. Therefore, if a
further macro call appears in the subprogram, ISO Dialect mode must be
selected again first.
10.02
System variables
for the addresses
I, J, K
Because addresses I, J, and K can be programmed up to ten times in a block
by macro call, an array index must be used to access the system variables for
these addresses. The syntax for these three system variables is then $C_I[..],
$C_J[..], $C_K[..]. The values are stored in the array in the order programmed.
The number of addresses I, J, K programmed in the block is stored in variables
$C_I_NUM, $C_J_NUM, $C_K_NUM.
The passed parameters I, J, K for macro calls are treated as one block, even if
individual addresses are not programmed. If a parameter is programmed again
or a following parameter has been programmed with reference to the sequence
I, J, K, it belongs to the next block.
To recognize the programming sequence in ISO mode, system variables
$C_I_ORDER, $C_J_ORDER, $C_K_ORDER are set. These are identical
arrays to $C_I, $C_K and contain the associated number of parameters.
In ISO dialect 0 mode, the programmed values can be evaluated differently
depending on the programming method (integer or real value). The different
evaluation is activated via machine data.
If the MD is set, the control will behave as in the following example:
X100. ;X axis is traveled 100 mm (100. with point => real value
Y200;Y axis is traveled 0.2 mm (200 without point => integer value
If the addresses programmed in the block are passed as parameters for cycles,
the programmed values are always real values in the $C_x variables. In the
case of integer values, the cycles do not indicate the programming method
(real/integer) and therefore no evaluation of the programmed value with the
correct conversion factor.

2 Programming
2.3 Subprogram and macro technology
To indicate whether REAL or INTEGER has been programmed, there is the
system variable $C_TYP_PROG. $C_TYP_PROG has the same structure as
$C_ALL_PROG and $C_INC_PROG. For each address (A–Z) there is one bit.
If the value is programmed as an INTEGER, the bit is set to 0, for REAL it is set
to 1. If the value is programmed in variable $<number>, bit 2 = 1 is set.
Example:
M98 A100. X100 –> $C_TYP_PROG == 1.
Only bit 0 is set because only A is programmed as a REAL.
M98 A100. C20. X100 –> $C_TYP_PROG == 5.
Only bits 1 and 3 are set (A and C).
Restrictions:
Up to ten I, J, K parameters can be programmed in each block. Variable
$C_TYP_PROG only contains one bit each for I, J, K. For that reason bit 2 is
always set to 0 for I, J, and K in $C_TYP_PROG. It is therefore not possible to
ascertain whether I, J or K have been programmed as REAL or INTEGER.
Parameters P, L, O, N can only be programmed as integers. A real value
generates an NC alarm. For that reason the bit in $C_TYP_PROG is always 0.
Modal macro calls
With modal macro calls, the programmed addresses are only copied into the
system variables in the block containing the call (block with G66). The macro is
then executed in every block with an axis movement until it is deselected by
G67 or a new macro call is programmed with G66. Only the macro parameters
are passed in the block containing the call (= block with G66) for modal macros.
The macro is executed for the first time in the next block containing an axis
movement. (Same procedure as MCALL xx in Siemens mode)

2.3.5Mode changing in macro calls with G65 / G66
Until now, automatic switchover to Siemens mode was performed for macro
calls with G65/G66.
The user now has the choice whether switchover to Siemens mode takes place
when the macro starts or not. Switchover to Siemens mode only takes place
when the PROC<program name> instruction is used in the first line of the macro
program. If this instruction is missing, ISO mode will remain active during
execution of the macro program.
The user can therefore decide whether to create local variables (with DEF...) for
the purpose of storing transfer variables. It is necessary to switch to Siemens
mode to do this using the PROC instruction. The user can also specify that the
macro program (e.g. an existing ISO Dialect M/T macro) is executed in ISO
mode.

irrelevant and has no effect on the functionality.
All ISO G codes, even G codes with a decimal point (= real value) can be

LxxxxNumber of passes. If L is not programmed, L1 is assumed.
Example:
G05 P10123 L310123.mpf is passed through three times.
This call can be used to fetch any subprogam. This subprogam can be a
precompiled program, but does not have to be. However, only a Siemens parts
program can be precompiled.
There is not equivalent of ISO Dialect function G05 in Siemens mode.
CYCLE305 enables users to program their own functionality in the context of

CYCLE305.spf is called when programming G05 in the following cases:
10.02
S G05 without P in the block is skipped without an alarm.
S G05.1 with and without P is skipped without an alarm.
S G05 P0 or P01 are reserved for high-speed remote buffer B. This function is
not supported.
In the cases mentioned, all addresses programmed in the block are defined in
cycle parameter $C_xx. When CYCLE305 is called there is no automatic
change of mode from ISO to Siemens. If it is intended to process
CYCLE305.spf in Siemens mode, the first program line must contain a PROC
instruction as in the case of macro calls with G65/G66.
All functions programmed in the block are executed, as previously mentioned in
the case of programming G05, that is to say, programmed axes are traversed,
auxiliary functions are produced, etc. The programmed addresses are defined
in the cycle parameters only for the purpose of supplementary information.
If G05 and a subprogram call (M98 P..) are programmed in the same block,
alarm 12722 is produced.

2.3.9Switchover modes for DryRun and skip levels
Switching over the skip levels (DB21 DBB2) always meant intervening in the
program run which until now resulted in a momentary drop in velocity along the
path. The same applies when the dry run mode DryRunOff (DryRun = dry-run
feedrate DB21.DBB0.BIT6) it switched to DryRunOn and vice versa.
This drop in voltage can now be avoided with a new switchover mode which
has a restricted functionality.
With machine data assignment $MN_SLASH_MASK==2 a drop in voltage is
no longer necessary when switching skip levels (i.e. a new value in
PLC–>NCK–Chan interface DB21.DBB2).
Note
The NCK processes blocks in two stages, preliminary or preprocessing and
main processing. The result of preprocessing is put into the preprocessing
memory. The main processing stage takes the oldest block from the
prepro-cessing memory and traverses its geometry.
2 Programming
Achtung
With machine data assignment $MN_SLASH_MASK==2, preprocessing is
switched over when the skip levels are switched! All blocks in the preprocessing memory are executed with the old skip level. As a rule, the user has no
influence over the level of the preprocessing memory. The user observes the
following: The new skip level can take effect at any time after switchover!
Note
The parts program command STOPRE empties the preprocessing memory. If
the skip level is switched over before STOPRE, it is certain that all blocks after
STOPRE will be switched over . The same applies to an implicit STOPRE.
Switching over DryRun mode results in the same restrictions.
With machine data assignment $MN_DRYRUN_MASK==2 no drop in velocity is
necessary when DryRun mode is changed. However, here too, only preprocessing is switched over, which results in the above restrictions. Analogously
the following applies: Caution DryRun mode can become active any time
after switchover!

2.4 Tool change and tool offsets
Tool data
T/D number
H number
As Siemens and ISO dialect programs are intended to run alternately in the
control they must be implemented with the Siemens tool data memory.
In each offset memory that exists for a tool, the length, geometry and wear in
each case are specified.
In Siemens mode, the offset memory is addressed with T (tool number) and D
(cutting edge number), or T/D number for short.
In ISO Dialect M programs, the offset memory is addressed with D (radius) or H
(length). This is referred to below as the H number.
In order to establish a unique assignment between this H number and a T/D
number, an element $TC_DPH[t,d] has been added to the offset data set. The H
number of the ISO Dialect is entered in this element.

When the H value is programmed in the ISO dialect M program, the system
searches for and activates the matching $TC_DPH in the active T after the
correction block.
If the correction block does not contain an H number, the compensation cannot
be activated in ISO Dialect mode.
If an H is programmed but a correction block with the corresponding H number
is not found or the associated tool T is not selected, an alarm is output.

Changing the
offset memory
All data of the tool edges with H number 0 are not linked. Every tool edge has
its own parameters.
An H number in a TO-Einheit must exist only once otherwise clear addressing of
the compensation block is not possible. In case an H number has been allocated for a second time, alarm ”17183 channel %1 block %2 H number already
exists in T= %3 with D=%4” is given when writing from the program,. The alarm
is compensation block compatible with NC Start clear.
Example:
N5$TC_DPH[1,1] = 5
N10 $TC_DPH[2,1] = 5
An attempt to allocate an H number twice via OPI (HMI, PLC) will lead to a ne-
gative acknowledgement when writing.
Existing tool offsets can be overwritten with G10. New tool offsets are not
created by G10.
P specifies the H number of the compensation memory and R specifies the
value.
L1 can be programmed instead of L11.
Active plane
Selecting the tool
length
Setting data $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST must be assigned value 17 if the
assignment of tool length offsets to geometry axes is to be independent of plane
selection. Length 1 is then always assigned to the Z axis.
The tool length and the tool radius are always programmed with D or H.

If flat D numbers are active, the T is programmed independently of the H
number. The H number is no longer checked for compatibility with the selected
tool.
An H number must be assigned to every offset memory, even with flat D
numbers.
Tool managementIf tool management is active, replacement tools have the same H number.
Duplo numbers are used in order to differentiate.
Offset D1 is activated for the currently selected tool on H99 with active toolmanagement.
In ISO Dialect M, only numerical expressions are permitted as tool identifiers.
Strings are no longer permitted as identifiers.
Example: T = “2”, selection with T2.

2.4.3Tool offset: T (ISO Dialect T)
The tool data are stored in the Siemens tool data memory.
Each tool consists of four entries, one each for the X and Z axes, radius and
tool point direction. The range of values for length and radius compensation is
999.999mm. The value range 0–9 is used for the tool point direction, where 0
and 9 are identical.
The meaning is equivalent to the tool point direction on Siemens turning tools.
You can use either flat D numbers or the conventional tool compensation
memory management.
Tool management can also be used.
Selection is made by means of T, whereby T contains the tool number and the
cutting edge number. The H number of ISO Dialect M does not exist.
Txxxxyyyy:xxxx = tool number, yyyy = cutting edge number
Machine data 10890 $MN_EXTERN_TOOLPROG_MODE, bit 0 is used to
define how the T value is interpreted.
Machine data 10888 $MN_EXTERN_DIGITS_TOOL_NO is used to specify the
number of digits for the tool number. The digit positions are counted from the
left. Subsequent digits specify the offset number.
If bit 0=1 in MD 10890, the cutting edge number is set equal to the tool number.

Cycle parameters
Procedure for
cycle call via
G command
The functionality of the ISO Dialect cycles is implemented in the standard
Siemens cycles:
A shell cycle is called from the ISO Dialect program. All addresses programmed
in the block are passed to this shell cycle in the form of system variables. The
shell cycle matches the data to the standard Siemens cycle and calls it by
name.
Machine manufacturers can replace these shell cycles with their own cycles.
Various cycle parameters in channel-specific GUD (Global User Data) must be
initialized for the machining cycles. The names and meanings of the GUD are
listed in Section 3.2.

Shell cycle
!
Modal cycles
The modifications required due to the ISO Dialect programming syntax are
made in the shell cycle. This means that the existing SINUMERIK cycles do not
have to be changed. The name of the shell cycle is permanently defined.
Procedure:
1. The cycle (e.g. G81) is programmed in ISO Dialect mode
2. Siemens mode is activated automatically and the associated shell cycle is
called (see Fig. 3-2)
3. The shell cycle calls the associated Siemens standard cycle
It is not necessary to program G290. The external CNC system is automatically
activated on the return jump.
Important
The cycles must only be called with G commands.
This ensures that the appropriate cycle parameters are passed to the shell
cycle.
The shell cycle must not be activated directly with CALL CYCLE3xx!
If a modal cycle is active, the shell cycle is called in every NC block. If no axis
positions (X, Y or Z) are programmed in the NC block, the Siemens standard
cycle is not called.
Addresses programmed in the block (F etc.) are activated via the shell cycle. If
no feedrate was programmed, for example, the current feedrate is used as the
path feed.
Cycle parameters can be programmed in the following blocks while a modal
cycle is active. These parameters are copied into the system variables so that
the shell cycle uses the modified parameters.
Modal cycles are, in contrast to modal macros, already executed in the calling
block (e.g. block with G81 etc.).
Deselecting the cycle:
Deselection is performed with G80 or with a function of the 1st G group.

3 Cycles and Contour Definition
3.4 Turning and drilling cycles (ISO Dialect T)
With G71 in ISO Dialect T, the contour is followed with the final machining
allowance in the main program after stock removal (to remove any remaining
straight edges). The program is always resumed at the parts program block
following the last block of the contour definition. parts program blocks between
the cycle call and the first block of the contour description are not executed.
Blocks N20–N40 are skipped and are not executed. If G71 is called in the parts
program after the contour definition, the program goes into an infinite loop.
Allowance must be made for the different continuation patterns of the parts
program in the shell cycles.
Example: G71 U6 R5Saving values in GUD
In the example, the values programmed in the shell cycle are read from
the system variables ($C_xx) and stored in channel-specific GUD.
Separate GUD are available for each cycle (G71–G76); the programmed
values therefore remain valid until the next time they are programmed (in
an NC block with G71–G76). Case 1 does not have to be programmed,
therefore it is advisable to initialize the assigned GUD.
Example: G71 P30 Q50 U3Starting cycle execution
In the example, the programmed values are only saved in system
variables ($C_xx). The system variables are overwritten in every NC
block containing a G function for a cycle call. With G71–G73, the cycle
always starts running on the G command after which the “P” and “Q” are
programmed. With G74–G76, the cycle starts running on the G
command after which the X/U or Z/W addresses are programmed. The F,
S and T commands in the call line of the cycle are also stored in system
variables. A cycle-specific distinction does not therefore have to be
made between the addresses. The shell cycle assigns the meaning to
the parameters (e.g. for G76, the address F means pitch and not feed).
For G70, the feed, speed and tool selection commands (F, S, T) from the
program section of the contour definition are relevant.
The same shell cycle is always called in both cases.

The drilling cycles are modal and are executed in every NC block in which axis
movements for axes X, Y, and Z are programmed. While a drilling mode is
active, you only have to program the new parameters in order to make
parameter modifications. The parameters are stored in system variables $C_xx
(xx = Nc address) which are read by the cycles.
The cycle is not executed if a G function of the first G group appears after the
cycle G function in the same NC block. Only the axes programmed in the NC

Modal cycles
All modal cycles are deselected in ISO Dialect mode with G80 or with a G
function of the first G group (G00–G03, G33, G34, except for G77–G79).
Cycle parameters can be programmed in the following blocks while a modal
cycle is active. These parameters are copied into the system variables so that
the shell cycle uses the modified parameters.

3.4.4Description of shell cycle CYCLE383T
In ISO Dialect T mode, the call is performed with G commands G83 and G87.
Notes
The direction from initial plane to reference plane must be identical to the
direction from reference plane to final depth. Otherwise this results in an error
message from the Siemens drilling cycle.
In ISO Dialect T, the programmer must take into account the safety clearance
when defining the reference plane. In Siemens mode, the safety clearance to
the R plane can be specified independently.
This possibility has also been implemented for the ISO cycles. GUD _ZSFR[20]
can be used if necessary to enter a safety clearance. If the safety clearance
was already allowed for when programming the R plane, the value “NULL” must
be entered in GUD_ZSFR[20].
GUD_ZSFR[23] is used to specify whether the dwell time for G95 (only in the
case of deep hole drilling) must be executed in seconds or revolutions.
A shell cycle is only permitted to be called from the external G code (G83/G87).
A call in Siemens mode (after switching over with G290 and calling
CYCLE383T) is not permitted.
If the G83/G87 block contains axis names other than X/Z (U/W), this results in
the alarm (61811) “ISO axis name is not permitted”.
GUD_ZSFR[2] is used to determine whether the cycle is executed with chip
breaking or chip removal.
In ISO Dialect, the constant individual depth is maintained until the remainder is
removed on the floor of the drilled hole with an infeed. In Siemens mode, the
remainder (less 2*individual depth) on the floor of the drilled hole is subdivided
into two equal infeeds.

3.5System variables
The names of the system variables all begin with $C_ xx. The NC address,
whose value is stored in the system variable, appears in the name extension xx.
The G number used to call a cycle is always stored in variable $C_G.
For all addresses, bit 0 is set in system variables $C_x_PROG if the address is
programmed.
In addition, bit 1 is set in variable $C_x_PROG for axis addresses programmed
incrementally.
$C_x_PROG is set to FALSE at the end of the subprogram (M17, RET).
Example 1:
N10 G01 G81 X100. Z–50. R20 F100
Shell cycle CYCLE381M for G81 is called automatically. The calculations are
performed in the shell cycle and the Siemens standard drilling cycle CYCLE82
is then called. The G01 command is not required.
The values of the programmed addresses are written into the following system
variables:
Address X is written to system variable $C_X;
Address Z is written to system variable $C_Z;
Address R is written to system variable $C_R;
Address F is written to system variable $C_F;

3 Cycles and Contour Definition
3.6 Programming contour definitions (ISO Dialect T)
3.6Programming contour definitions (ISO Dialect T)
Contour definitions can be programmed in both ISO Dialect T mode and
Siemens mode.
There are 3 basic shapes of contour
S A straight line
The end point is programmed with a Cartesian coordinate and an angle
S Two straight lines
The transition is programmed with a rounding or chamfer
S Three straight lines
The transitions are programmed with a rounding or chamfer
In the descriptions below, indices are occasionally assigned to the address
letters X, Z, A, R and C to establish a unique assignment between the NC block
and the associated drawing. These indices do not appear in the NC program.
The assignment is always derived uniquely from the block containing the
address letter. Address letter Q is used as a placeholder for R or C, where either
of these letters can appear. Q can also be omitted. In this case, no chamfer or
rounding is inserted at the transition between the two linear sections.
Any number of other NC addresses can be used in blocks defining contours,
e.g. address letters for further axes (individual axes or an axis perpendicular to
the machining plane), auxiliary function parameters, G codes, velocities, etc.
In the following examples, it is assumed that G18 is active. Programming of
contours is also possible without restriction with G17 or G19, however.
10.02
ISO Dialect mode
Siemens mode
Address C is used in ISO Dialect mode both as an axis identifier and as an
identifier for a chamfer on the contour.
Address R can be a cycle parameter or an identifier for the radius in a contour.
In order to distinguish between these two options, a “,” must be placed in front of
the C or R address during contour definition programming (as in ISO Dialect). A
comma does not have to be entered if an angle is programmed before C or R. If
a radius and a chamfer are programmed together in the same block, e.g. N333
X100 A10 C20 R15, regardless of the programming sequence, a radius will
always be inserted in the contour. The chamfer is ignored.
The identifiers for angle, radius and chamfer are defined by machine data in
Siemens mode. This prevents the occurrence of name conflicts. A comma must
not be programmed before the identifier for radius or chamfer.

3.6.1End point programming with angles
If address letter A appears in an NC block, one, both or none of the axes on the
active plane can be programmed.
If no axis on the active plane is programmed, the block is either the first or the
second block of a contour totaling two blocks. If the block is the second block of
such a contour definition, the start and end point in the active plane are
identical. In this case, the contour merely consists of a movement perpendicular
to the active plane.
If one axis on the active plane is programmed, either a single straight line is
being described, whose end point is determined exactly by the angle and the
programmed Cartesian coordinate, or we are dealing with the second block of a
contour totaling two blocks. In the latter case, the missing coordinate will be set
equal to the last (modal) position reached.
If two axes on the active plane are programmed, the block is the second block
of a contour comprising two blocks. If the current block was not preceded by a
block with angle programming without programmed axes of the active plane, the
block is not permitted.
Angle A must only be programmed with linear or spindle interpolation. (Spline
interpolation only in Siemens mode.)
Alarms are generated in the following situations:
3 Cycles and Contour Definition
S In a contour consisting of two blocks, the active plane was changed during
the transition from the first to the second block.
S In a contour consisting of two straight lines, a valid intermediate point cannot
be generated from the programmed angles.
S Neither linear nor spline interpolation is active in a block with address A.
S A block with address A without a programmed axis on the active plane is not
followed by a block with which the end point of the contour can be
determined. This is the case if the block is the last block in a program or if
the following block contains a preprocessor stop.
S No angle was programmed in the second block of a contour consisting of
two straight lines.
S Both axes on the active plane are programmed in a block with address A
which is not the second block of a contour consisting of two straight lines.
S Programmed Cartesian coordinate and programmed angle are incompatible.
