HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI - Meaning of the Machine Parameters

February 2012 31 – 579
31.3 Meaning of the machine parameters
Machine parameter lists often contain original HEIDENHAIN comments.
Semicolons ";" identify comments.
Entries behind semicolons are not evaluated by the NC software.
Your can enter your own comments, beginning with a semicolon, in the MP list. For this purpose
you need have write permission (enter correct code number).
Text file
READ_MP.A
If the machine manufacturer has removed the original HEIDENHAIN comments in full or in part:
8 Enter the PLC code number.
8 Open the program manager.
8 Open one of the following text files:
The text files LIES_MP.A and READ_MP.A are components of an NC software update.
This means that these text files are updated together with the NC software.
Thus, you always have the appropriate comments on the MPs of the installed NC software.
Searching
MP numbers
in READ_MP.A
Do not use the keys GOTO and ENT like in an MP list. The editor would place the cursor on the line
with the specified number and not on the desired parameter.
You are dealing with a text file and not with an MP list!
Use the soft keys FIND and EXECUTE to navigate to the desired MP numbers.

Note
Tip:
Transfer the READ_MP.A text file to your service laptop. Now you can easily look up the meaning
of the parameters, while the original MP list of the manufacturer is open on the control.
Attention
LIES_MP.A and READ_MP.A also contain the default values of the parameters. However, these are
not valid for your machine; only the values in the original MP list are relevant.
