HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI - Creating a Prototype

1410 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual iTNC 530 HSCI
Creating a
prototype
 Switch to PLC mode.
(See "Selecting the PLC mode" on page9 – 1667).
 In the PLC:\PROTO directory, create a table with the extension .TAB.
If you have not yet defined a prototype, a standard prototype will be offered.
If you have defined more than one prototype, a menu will appear when you
create a table:
 Select an existing prototype and change the format by using the soft key
EDIT FORMAT.
If you have selected a prototype, the structure commands of the individual
columns are displayed:
 NAME: Heading of the column. Maximum 8 characters, no longer than
WIDTH. Do not use any blanks.
 TYPE:
• N = Numerical input (with "$"in hexadecimal and "%" in binary format)
• C = Alphanumeric input
• X = Date-stamp function; if the line in the table is changed, then
depending on the length defined in WIDTH, the current time (WIDTH=8) or
the current time and date (WIDTH=19) can be entered in the field.
hh:mm:ss dd.mm.yyyy is the valid format here.
The timestamp function is active in combination with write-accesses by
the PLC (via module) and from NC programs (FN function TABWRITE,
WRITE TO KINEMATIC).
• L = Entry of an integer value (no decimal places); special type for quicker
access for machining, such as for position requests.
 WIDTH: Width of the column. For TYPE = N it includes the algebraic sign,
decimal point and decimal places.
 DEC: Number of decimal places; = 0 for hexadecimal or binary format input.
Has no meaning for TYPE = C.
 ENGLISH to RUSSIAN: Language-specific messages that are shown in the
dialog line during editing of the column. Maximum 32 characters per
language. Dialog entry is optional.
 Press the "Insert line" soft key and enter your structure commands in the
respective column.
 With the END key you exit the display of the structure definition. The table
you have just created is displayed with the newly defined columns.
It is also possible to show dialogs with the UTF8 character set in freely
definable tables (*.TAB,*.P). This makes it possible to use all conversational
languages available on the control.
Note
A table can have a maximum of 30 columns and a maximum width of 500
characters.
