Safety Guidelines

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.

Danger

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

Warning

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

Caution

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

Caution

without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

Notice

indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

1.1 Overview

Programming help systems

The extendible programming help systems listed below are available on the PCU 50.3 controller:

• Quick "ASCII" help

• Extended "PDF" help

– Additional help (PDF file) from the quick "ASCII" help – Additional help on input fields of cycle parameterization screens – ISO mode help

The functionality and extendibility of these help systems is described in the sections below.

Software

• HMI Advanced

• Adobe Reader 4.x (available free over the Internet/from specialist dealer)

The Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.x software is supplied on the SINUMERIK 840D sl controller as standard.

• Adobe Acrobat 4.x

You will need the Adobe Acrobat Distiller 4.x software in order to convert documents to PDF and for editing documents once they are available in this format.

Storage locations of help files

Programming help: F:\DH\CST.DIR\HLP.DIR (may contain HLP, PDF and TXT files) Alarm/MD help: F:\MMC2\HLP (may contain HLP, PDF and TXT files) OPI help: F:\HMI_ADV\HLP (may contain HLP, PDF and TXT files)

Programming help systems

1.1 Overview

Principle of PDF help

The PDF help depends on the following components being available in the help file storage location:

• Call file, e.g., PG_GR.TXT, with the information:

• Associated PDF file

Proceed as follows to call up the help:

• Start Adobe Acrobat Reader (supplied with the controller)

• Jump to page number (must be defined by index in document)

• Search for term (Adobe software search function)

Creation procedure

• Define jumps in the help document (e.g., using standard index function of DTP systems)

• Store jump file as text file

• Assign ID numbers to the programming commands

• Generate PDF file

Result:

• A call file (text file) with the information:

• One or more associated PDF files

and generate

for each call

Note In the event of multiple jumps for the same topic, each page must be entered on a

separate line. Example: 840D_PG.PDF 44 155 840D_PG.PDF 45 180 840D_PG.PDF 46 199

Hint: In the case of a larger volume of indices, the call file can be created automatically using

Microsoft Excel:

• Insert "index file" (*.TXT) in Excel

• Insert column

• Enter the name of the PDF file on the first line

• Select the menu items "Edit" – "Fill" – "Down"

Testing the jumps in the document

Proceed as follows to test whether all the search strings can be found:

• Start Adobe Acrobat

• Select the menu item "Edit" –> "Find" (CTRL + F)

• Enter the search string.

Note If the search strings cannot be found, possible causes include:

• Incorrect input

• The texts were not converted properly during PDF generation and cannot be found by

the search engine for that reason.

Analysis:

into a Word document.

Remedy:

• Generate the PDF again or

Select a string you are looking for using Adobe Acrobat, copy it and paste it

Search sequence

• Generate the postscript file using Adobe printer driver Adobe PS 5.1.1 and then

convert it using Adobe Distiller.

The help adheres to the search sequence below:

• F:\USER\HLP

• F:\ OEM\HLP

• F:\ ADD_ON\HLP

• F:\MMC2\HLP

• F:\HMI_ADV\HLP

• F:\ DH\CUS.DIR\HLP.DIR (user directory)

• F:\ DH\CMA.DIR\HLP.DIR (manufacturer directory)

• F:\ DH\CST.DIR\HLP.DIR (Siemens directory)

1.2 Quick "ASCII" help

You can call up a number of help functions in the editor to provide programming support with the editing of part programs via the

• Quick "ASCII" help

– Descriptive text for instructions, context-sensitive based on the cursor position in

the part program (e.g., G9 "Exact stop – deceleration")

– Overview of topics (e.g., "Preparatory functions", "Motion commands", "Path action",

etc.) to which instructions are assigned – Overview of instructions with descriptive texts – Search in help window via topic or text – Transfer of selected instruction to the editor

• Extended "PDF" help

– Call up additional help (PDF file) from the quick "ASCII" help, e.g., jump to

Programming Guide Fundamentals. – Call up additional help on input fields of cycle screens (PDF-file)

"Information"

key:

1.2.1 Extending/replacing the help function

The machine manufacturer/end user can integrate additional M and H functions, cycles or macros in the help system.

Text files designed for this purpose which are accessed by the help function can be extended (see Section "Extension of text files").

The paths of the generated ASCII text files can be parameterized or added in initialization file "IF.INI" or under

"Settings"

(user file name).

1.2.2 Entries in the file "IF.INI"

Overview

The following sections are available in the "IF.INI" file for parameterization of the help function:

• TECHNOLOGY

• TEXTFILES

• CONTEXT

• TEXTSEARCH

1.2 Quick "ASCII" help

TECHNOLOGY section

The relevant technology category of the connected machine can be entered in the [TECHNOLOGY] section so as to limit the display of instruction texts to relevant technology entries, i.e., only entries pertinent to the relevant technology are displayed.

The following technology codes can be specified: "m" = Milling "t" = Turning "g" = Grinding "s" = Nibbling "p" = Punching "a" = Display all technologies

TEXTFILES section

The paths (path\name) used for the Short Help text files on which the help function is based are parameterized in the [TEXTFILES] section.

The help function accesses the following text files:

• Siemens "DH\CST.DIR\IFS_GR.COM"

• Machine manufacturer "DH\CMA.DIR\IFM_GR.COM" (any file name)

• End user "DH\CUS.DIR\USER_GR.COM" (any file name)

(entered under

"Settings"

Note

The path for the Siemens text file "DH\CST.DIR\lFS_GR.COM" must exist, otherwise an

error message is output.

There are different parameterization options for the names of the text files when assigning the text path.

The following table lists the parameterization options and their interpretation by the help function.

Parameters for the text file Interpretation FileName.com The non-language-specific text file is read out FileName_XX.com

(XX = language code, e.g., "GR" for German, for language codes see "Other languages" under "Alarm help")

The language-specific text file is read out

Example: ENDUSER=CUS.DIR\IFM_.COM First of all, an attempt is made to open the non-language-specific text file "IFM.COM" in the

path "C:\DH\CUS.DIR\" but, if the non-language-specific text file does not exist, the relevant language-specific text file (e.g., "IFM_GR.COM") is opened instead.

with extended cycle help ...

CONTEXT section

Increased context sensitivity of the help function can be selected in the [CONTEXT] section. This setting is activated with "1" and deactivated with "0" (entered under "Settings").

If increased context sensitivity is activated and the cursor is positioned to the left of, next to or on an instruction text, all instructions with the same initial letters are displayed when help is called.

For example, if the programmer has selected instruction "G1", all instructions beginning with "G1" (e.g., "G1", "G17", "G18", "G19") are displayed.

If increased context sensitivity has been deactivated with "0", then only the instruction actually selected (if available) is displayed.

TEXTSEARCH section

The text search type can be specified in the [TEXTSEARCH] section. The following search methods can be parameterized:

1 = Instruction texts only 2 = Descriptive texts only 3 = Instruction and descriptive texts (entered under "Search").
