Operation and
technology
Enhanced: Dashboard display of PLC signals
The attribute evaluation of the dashboard element "LoadDisplay" was
enhanced so that PLC data can now optionally also be transferred to this
element. Therefore, it is now also possible during analog control to realize a
load display for axis and spindle drives directly in the dashboard See "Load
display for analog drives" on page 1405.
Enhanced: Update of NC software
The NC software can now also be updated while it is running. The new code
number 231019 was therefore introduced, See "Start update while software
is running on the control" on page 141.
Enhanced: Log
The display of the control's log was improved. The accumulated keystrokes
are now stored simultaneously with the control events in the log and are
displayed in table view.
In order to be able to track machine operation or machine conditions
systematically, detailed additional information is entered and stored
simultaneously with all important log entries, such as keystrokes, errors,
system errors or warnings, See "Error messages and log files" on page 1254.
Enhanced: Display of configuration errors during start-up
If configuration errors occur during control start-up, the Error during
start-up message appears instead of Power interrupted. Also, the error
messages for the incorrect configuration data, which are triggered by the
applications, are displayed individually.
Machine
interfacing
New: Additional data types for table columns
The control supports additional data types for columns in NC tables. The
FEED_CUT column data type applies to the cutting speed in units of m/min
or feet/min. The FEED_ROT column data type applies to the feed rate per
revolution in units of mm/rev or inch/rev. As usual, the new column data
types are listed as enumeration values of parameter MP_unit (105602) of
the configuration object CfgColumnDescription.
Enhanced: Integrated oscilloscope – Selection of symbolic operands
In the MIOTC dialog (dialog box for selecting markers, inputs, outputs,
timers and counters) in the integrated oscilloscope, symbolic API operands
can now also be selected and displayed conveniently in a list, See "Setup for
digital signals" on page 1150.
New: Integrated oscilloscope – Circular interpolation test
A circular interpolation test can now be performed with the integrated
oscilloscope, See "Circular interpolation test with the integrated
oscilloscope" on page 1158.
New: Test of internal EMERGENCY STOP by code number
For test purposes, the behavior during an internal EMERGENCY STOP can
now be simulated in order to inspect the correct wiring of the machine. The
control-is-ready output is reset, and the NC and PLC are no longer operable.
It is essential that you support hanging axes before the test in order to
prevent damage to the machine in case of error. To start the test, press the
CODE NUMBER soft key and enter the code number 6871232. Enter the code
number again to reset the control status to "ready for operation."
