January 2012 7.12 Configuration of the Lathe 1477
The expert programs are based on the NC syntax, and can be edited with the
help of a text editor or the smart.Turn editor. Since the programs are
programmed using variables, they are written as generally as possible. For
example, offsets are assigned to be able to also use the M14 function for
configured subspindles. The main spindle is addressed with M014, the first
subspindle with M114, the second subspindle with M214, etc.
For more information about the expert programs, refer to your control's User's
Manual.
If a software update is performed on the SYS: drive of the control, the current
C-axis programs are copied to the PLC:\Update\o\nc_prog\ncps directory.
The new files all contain the current version of the default settings managed
by HEIDENHAIN. For more information about software updates, see "NC
software exchange on the MANUALplus 620" on page 137.
The control searches for active expert programs first in TNC:\nc_prog\ncps
and then, which is new, also in PLC:\nc_prog\ncps.
HEIDENHAIN recommends removing all expert programs from
TNC:\nc_prog\ncps and saving them in the protected zone in
PLC:\nc_prog\ncps.
