Initialization programs
These are programs with which the working memory data is initialized. The following file types
can be used for this:
File type Description
name_TEA Machine data
name_SEA Setting data
name_TOA Tool offsets
name_UFR Zero offsets/frames
name_INI Initialization files
name_GUD Global user data
name_RPA R-parameters
Data areas
The data can be organized in different areas in which they are to apply. For example, a control
can have several channels or, as is commonly the case, several axes at its disposal.
There are:
Identifier Data areas
NC NC-specific data
CH<n> Channel-specific data (<n> specifies the channel name)
AX<n> Axis-specific data (<n> specifies the number of the machine axis)
TO Tool data
COMPLETE All data
Create initialization program at an external PC
The data area identifier and the data type identifier can be used to determine the areas which
are to be treated as a unit when the data is saved:
_N_AX5_TEA_INI Machine data for axis 5
_N_CH2_UFR_INI Frames of channel 2
_N_COMPLETE_TEA_INI All machine data
When the control is started up initially, a set of data is automatically loaded to ensure proper
operation of the control.
Procedure for multi-channel controls (CHANDATA)
CHANDATA(<channel number>) for several channels is only permissible in the file
_N_INITIAL_INI. This is the commissioning file with which all data of the control is initialized.
