The following takes the workpiece machining process shown in the above figure for example to show how to switch
geometry axes.
; basic configuration of the geometry axis active
; channel axis Z1 used as the third geometry axis Z by
default
; channel axis Z2 used as the third geometry axis Z
; tool movement command for axis Z called on axis Z2;
then Z2 moves to Z100 in the WCS
; channel axis Z1 used as the third geometry axis Z
; tool movement command for axis Z called on axis Z1;
then Z1 moves to Z100 in the WCS
; geometry axis switchover deactivated
Note
The assigned channel axis names and geometry axis names must differ; otherwise alarm 14414 "GEOAX function: incorrect
call" is triggered.
MD20080 AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB
• MD20060 AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB
GEOAX command is used for switching a geometry axis. For an additional axis, you can switch it with the GEOAX
igning a geometry axis to the additional axis.
GEOAX command is used for switching an existing geometry axis when the control system is powered on, but not for
creating a new geometry axis.
GEOAX() command is used for calling the basic configuration of a geometry axis, that is, restoring its original
configuration status before the
GEOAX command is called. Failing to call the GEOAX() command after calling the GEOAX
command keeps the operation of geo
metry axis switchover still active even when you execute another part program.
Licensing in the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D
ADVANCED
SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED licensing
The PPU software on the CNC PPU has already been licensed in the factory before delivery.
Depending on specific requirements, factory licensing is available for the following machining types:
● SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED T (Turning)
● SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED M (Milling)
● SINUMERIK 808D (Turning)
● SINUMERIK 808D (Milling)
You can also purchase the following optional functions for the control system. To use the functions, first activate them on the
control via the HMI user interface.
● Additional axes
● Contour handwheel
● Bidirectional leadscrew error compensation
● Manual Machine Plus (for the turning variant of the control system only)
● CNC lock
● Transmit/Tracyl
● Gantry (BASIC)
You can obtain the corresponding licenses from the Web License Manager (http://www.siemens.com/automation/license).
With the Web License Manager, you can assign licenses to hardware in a standard Web browser. To conclude the
assignment, you must manually enter the license key at the control system through the HMI user interface.
