HEIDENHAIN TNC 155 F - Customized Macros (User Cycles)

9. Customized macros (User cycles)
Customizled macros are NC-programs in which variable program data are programmed via Q-parameters.
Programming of customized macros within the NC-program memory takes place via program numbers from
99999968 to 99999999. A maximum of 100 different customer-specific dialogues for cycle designation
and entry parameters can be stored within the control.
Standard cycles can be executed within customized macros. Since a standard cycle requires a CYCL-CALL,
the customized macro is called up via CYCL DEF.
User cycles (customized macros) can be called-up either via CYCL CALL or already with the cycle definition
CYCL DEF. This is determined during compilation of the user cycles.
For definition of the necessary plain language dialogues two possibilities are offered by the TNC:
“DLG-DEF” Call-up of user cycle via CYCL DEF
“DLG-CALL” Call-up of user cycle via CYCL CALL
After dialogue initiation for definition of plain language dialogues with the I:“,: and
following dialogue question is displayed:
q -keys, the
DLG-DEF = ENT/DLG-CALL = NO ENT
NO
By pressing the key q or q ,
the DLG-DEF- or DLG-CALL-block is progIrammed.

Assignment of a value of the customized macros is made via
cl
%?
as per the permanently stored
HEI DEN HAI N-cycles. When paging, the customized macros are displayed by the cycle numbers 68 to
99.
Since both “DLG-DEF” and “DLG-CALL” customized macros can be contained in a main program,
Q-parameters for the dialogues must be stored in separate Q-address locations.
Begin Q-parameter for dialogue
263
Entry value is the Q-number for the first dialogue
DLG-DEF-block.
of the DLG-DEF customized macro cycle.
Entry parameters for the “DLG-CALL”-block are assigned to program parameters 01 to 014. With the
“DLG-DEF”-block the initial entry parameter is assigned to the program parameter which has been
established via machine parameter 263.
Example:
If the entry value in machine parameter 263 = 50 the cycle parameters are assigned to the program
parameters as follows:
first cycle parameter = Q51
second cycle parameter = 052
fourteenth cycle parameter = 064
