Activating
modified values
After you have modified parameter values for service purposes:
8 Place the cursor in the line after the parameter edited last. --> The entire MP list is restructured.
8 Exit the machine parameter list by pressing the END key.
Missing or incorrect entries result in error messages from the control that prompt you to correct
your entry.
The following errors are displayed:
If the control does not detect any errors, it automatically exits the machine parameter editor and is
ready for operation after a defined reaction.
Reaction to
change
If parameter values were changed and confirmed with END, the control may react as follows:
Modified values are immediately adopted without reset or new reference run (e.g., changed
color settings).
Axes must be referenced (e.g., changed axis parameters).
The control is reset (e.g., changes to certain control-loop parameters).
Operating the
machine with the
new values
If the machine manufacturer agrees that the machine should be operated with the new settings...
8 transfer the new parameter values to the original MP list and activate it (or activate an MP list agreed
upon with the machine manufacturer). Write your name (or the name of the responsible person) and
the date of change in the header of the list as a comment.
8 create a new backup of the machine data. --> See ”Backup on an external data medium” on page
14 – 202.
Input error Meaning
0 No MP number found
1 Invalid MP number
2 No separator (:) found
3 Input value incorrect
4 MP defined twice
6 MP cannot be saved
Most machine parameters cannot be saved while an NC program is running. The error message
Parallel operation not possible appears.
In this event you must wait until workpiece machining is finished, or you stop and abort the
program. Then the modified machine parameters can be saved.
If you have edited machine parameters for the spindle (MP3000 - MP3999, MP13000 -
MP13999), these new values do not go into effect until after leaving the machine parameter
list a new speed is commanded for the spindle concerned.
For example: Press S soft key. --> Enter spindle speed. --> Confirm with NC START button.
This behavior is defined by HEIDENHAIN and cannot be influenced!
If you have reason to doubt that a changed parameter value was adopted, the control should be
restarted manually.
