HEIDENHAIN MANUALPLUS 620 - 7.1.6 Programming station mode

January 2012 7.1 Display and Operation 1233
7.1.6 Programming station mode
You can switch the MANUALplus 620 into a programming station mode with
MP_simMode. This way the control can be used as a simple programming
station. No drives are enabled. You can create and test NC programs. The
operation of the machine is simulated in the programming station mode. As
OEM, you have access to the machine configuration in the programming
station mode. This enables you to adapt the MANUALplus 620 to the machine
before actual commissioning.
The MP_simMode parameter offers four different setting possibilities for the
programming station mode:
If FullOperation is set, the MANUALplus 620 starts in normal operation. The
programming station mode is deactivated. All drives and the PLC are active.
Choose the CcOnly setting in order to simulate the CC controller unit while
the PLC is active. In this case all PLC inputs and outputs, as well as the
emergency-stop loop (X41/34 and X42/4), must already be connected correctly
in order to switch the MANUALplus 620 on correctly. As of NCK software level
597 110-04, analog values are only simulated and are no longer output if axes
are moving.
Choose CcAndExt in order to simulate the CC controller unit and all PLC
inputs and outputs. The PLC runs in simulation mode, and the emergency-stop
loop and PLC inputs and outputs are not interrogated.
If Delivery is set, all axes are set to the test mode during startup of the
MANUALplus 620, and a switch-on of the axes is prevented. The user should
then be able to start the control, even with an incomplete or faulty axis
configuration in order to put the axes into operation. After the configuration of
all axes has been completed, the control can be switched to full operation
(FullOperation).
The MANUALplus 620 must be restarted after changes in MP_simMode in
order for the new settings to become active.

Danger
With the CcOnly setting, all axes are automatically switched to test mode.
Hanging axes are not braked in test mode.
Hanging axes need 100 % weight compensation.
Ensure that hanging axes are adequately supported.
