SINUMERIK 840D sl/840D/840Di/810D HMI Installation and Start-Up Guide (IAM) – 08/2005 Edition
BE1/8-179
Term Explanation
Machine data Settings of properties of the SINUMERIK system made by
Siemens/machine manufacturer/end user and stored in the system.
The following types of auxiliary function are available:
$MN_... General NC machine data
$MC_... Channel-specific machine data
$MA_... Axis-specific machine data
$MM_... Machine data of operator panel front
In addition to this there is → setting data and drive machine data.
Main body of screen
form
Header, long text, graphics and → Screen form elements
ManualTurn Optimized SINUMERIK application and user interface for simple
turning machines.
Master screen form
→ Screen form, which calls another screen form but remains open
when a second screen is displayed.
Method Programmed sequence of operations, which is executed when a
corresponding → Event occurs.
NC Numerical Control: System component of a SINUMERIK system,
which controls the motional sequences of axes on the basis of →
Parts programs.
NC code
Permissible language elements used to write → Parts programs of
the SINUMERIK system
NC function
→ PI service
Parameters Parameters are variable elements of the programming syntax and
replaced by other words/symbols in the → Configuration file.
Parts program A program formulated in the NC language, which specifies motion
sequences for axes and various special actions.
PI service
→ Function, which, on an → NC, executes a clearly defined
operation.
PI services can be called from the → PLC and → HMI
Advanced/HMI Embedded.
PLC Programmable Logic Control: Programmable controller, which
performs mainly logic operations in the SINUMERIK system.
Programming support
system
Provision of → Screen forms to assist programmers in writing →
Parts programs with "higher-level" components
Free contour programming
Cycle support
Blueprint programming
→ Retranslation
→ Simulation
directly from the → Editor.
RECALL key Standard key on front of operator panel
Register
Memory for data exchange between → Screen forms.
Retranslation
Sections of → NC code can be generated in a → Parts program
from input fields in → Screen forms of the → Programming support
system. Recompilation is the reverse operation. The input fields,
which have created a selected section of NC code, are retrieved
from the NC code and displayed in the original screen form.
Screen form
Screen display of → User interface
Screen form definition
block
Program section from //M..........//END for defining a → Screen form
