technology
New: TURNguide – The context-sensitive help system of the
MANUALplus 620
The browser-based, context-sensitive help system TURNguide is now
available on the control. TURNguide is based on the Mozilla browser and
displays CHM help files. You can download the control's respective User's
Manual in CHM format from the HEIDENHAIN home page and transfer it to
the control. For more information on TURNguide, please refer to
“TURNguide – context-sensitive help system (user documentation)" on
page 1278.
New: Software option #46 (Python OEM Process)
With the "Python OEM Process" option, the OEM can use a powerful,
object-oriented programming language within the control (PLC). Python is an
easy-to-learn script language that supports the use of all necessary high-
level language elements. Python is widely known among programming
experts.
"Python OEM Process" can be used for machine functions and complex
calculations, as well as to display special information. It provides
comprehensive possibilities for realizing user-specific and machine-specific
software solutions, e.g. special algorithms for tool calculation or custom
user interfaces for special functions. Freely definable windows up to the
size of the control screen can be displayed for visualization.
A separate documentation, additional PC tools for debugging and for the
development of user interfaces as well as example programs are available
for Python OEM Process. In the HEIDENHAIN HESIS Web Including
Filebase you can download the "Python in HEIDENHAIN controls" Technical
Manual under "PC Software > Python."
New: Dashboard with integrated Python window
The OEM can define four OEM-specific areas of different sizes in the
dashboard. These can be used to display Python applications. For more
information, See "Configuring the OEM window" on page 1293.
Enhanced: Dashboard position display
The display of axis positions can now also show the C-axis and slide number
if more than one C axis or slide is configured. The control currently supports
only one slide. See "Overview of the available dashboard elements" on page
1296.
Enhanced: Dashboard feed-rate display
The feed-rate display for the slides can now also show the spindle number
of the feed spindle that is definitive for calculation of the feed per revolution.
See "Overview of the available dashboard elements" on page 1296.
Enhanced: Dashboard spindle display
The spindle display can now show the spindle selected using the spindle
change key.
If a spindle is running in slave mode, its programmed value is only displayed
on the master spindle. The display for the slave spindle only shows the
actual value, which depends on the master spindle. See "Overview of the
available dashboard elements" on page 1296.
New: File management with project directories
The control now offers the possibility of managing NC programs, DXF
contours, ICP contours and cycle programs in separate directories (projects).
Also, the Cut/Paste function was added to the file dialogs, and the Copy and
Delete functions were revised so that the file manager now provides the
usual functions. OEM programs (M functions, expert programs, etc.) can be
stored in a protected folder on the PLC partition (See "Expert programs" on
page 1476).
