General information
TNC controls from HEIDENHAIN have always been user friendly:
Thanks to their simple programming in HEIDENHAIN conversational
language, field-proven cycles, unambiguous function keys, and clear
and vivid graphic functions, they now count among the most popular
shop-floor programmable controls.
Now there is also software for running a programming station using
Windows. The HEIDENHAIN keyboard included in delivery is simply
connected to the USB interface on your PC. For test purposes you can
also use the iTNC 530 programming station with your standard PC
keyboard (see “The Demo Version” on page 33).
As an alternative, you can also use the virtual keyboard for the
programming station (see “Showing the virtual keyboard” on page
29).
Options/Feature content level (FCL)
Some powerful functions are not available as a standard feature on all
TNC controls, but must be enabled via a keyword.
All functions are available without surcharge on the iTNC 530
programming station. The free demo version, however, only permits
storage of programs up to a certain program length (see “The Demo
Version” on page 33).
This manual describes the special features of the iTNC530
programming station. All available NC functions are
described in the User’s Manual for Cycle Programming.
smarT.NC functions are described in the smarT.NC pilot.
When creating programs with the iTNC 530 programming
station, please ensure that you only use functions actually
available on your machine. Otherwise, the program could
contain ERROR blocks after it has been downloaded to the
machine control, or error messages could appear during
testing or program run.
