Converting FK programs into HEIDENHAIN
conversational format
The TNC features two possibilities for converting FK programs to
plain-language programs:
 Convert the program so that the program structure is maintained
(program-section repeats and subprogram calls). This is not possible
if you have used Q-parameter functions in the FK sequence.
 Convert the program so that program-section repeats, subprogram
calls and Q-parameter calculations are linearized. For linearization,
instead of the program-section repeats and subprogram calls, the
TNC writes the NC blocks processed internally into the generated
program or calculates values assigned via Q-parameter calculations
within an FK sequence
 Select the program you want to convert
 Select the special functions
 Select the programming aids
 Select the soft-key row with functions for converting
programs
 Convert the FK blocks of the selected program. The
TNC converts all FK blocks into straight-line blocks (L)
and circular-arc blocks (CC, C), and the program
structure is maintained, or
 Convert the FK blocks of the selected program. The
TNC converts all FK blocks into straight-line blocks (L)
and circular-arc blocks (CC, C), and the TNC linearizes
the program
The name of the file created by the TNC consists of the
old file name plus the extension _nc. Example:
 File name of the FK program: LEVER.H
 File name of the conversational dialog program
converted by the TNC: LEVER_nc.h
The resolution of the created conversational program is
0.1 µm.
After the converted NC blocks, the converted program
includes the comment SNR and a number. The number
indicates the block number of the FK program from which
the respective conversational block was calculated.
