Page 813: Glossary
Glossary Absolute dimensions A destination for an axis motion is defined by a dimension that refers to the origin of the currently active coordinate system. See → Incremental dimension Acceleration with jerk limitation In order to optimize the acceleration response of the machine whilst simultaneously protecting the mechanical components, it is possible to switch over in the machining program between abrupt acceleration and continuous (jerk-free) acceleration.
Page 814 Glossary Auxiliary functions Auxiliary functions enable → part programs to transfer → parameters to the → PLC, which then trigger reactions defined by the machine manufacturer. Axes In accordance with their functional scope, the CNC axes are subdivided into: ● Axes: Interpolating path axes ●...
Page 815 Glossary Baud rate Rate of data transfer (bits/s). Blank Workpiece as it is before it is machined. Block "Block" is the term given to any files required for creating and processing programs. Block search For debugging purposes or following a program abort, the "Block search" function can be used to select any location in the part program at which the program is to be started or resumed.
Page 816 Glossary Component of the NC for the implementation and coordination of communication. Compensation axis Axis with a setpoint or actual value modified by the compensation value Compensation table Table containing interpolation points. It provides the compensation values of the compensation axis for selected positions on the basic axis. Compensation value Difference between the axis position measured by the encoder and the desired, programmed axis position.
Page 817 Glossary Cycles Protected subprograms for execution of repetitive machining operations on the → workpiece. Data block 1. Data unit of the → PLC that → HIGHSTEP programs can access. 2. Data unit of the → NC: Data modules contain data definitions for global user data. This data can be initialized directly when it is defined.
Page 818 Glossary Exact stop When an exact stop statement is programmed, the position specified in a block is approached exactly and, if necessary, very slowly. To reduce the approach time, → exact stop limits are defined for rapid traverse and feed. Exact stop limit When all path axes reach their exact stop limits, the controller responds as if it had reached its precise destination point.
Page 819 Glossary Geometry Description of a → workpiece in the → workpiece coordinate system. Geometry axis The geometry axes form the 2 or 3-dimensional → workpiece coordinate system in which, in → part programs, the geometry of the workpiece is programmed. Ground Ground is taken as the total of all linked inactive parts of a device which will not become live with a dangerous contact voltage even in the event of a malfunction.
Page 820 Glossary Identifier In accordance with DIN 66025, words are supplemented using identifiers (names) for variables (arithmetic variables, system variables, user variables), subprograms, key words, and words with multiple address letters. These supplements have the same meaning as the words with respect to block format. Identifiers must be unique. It is not permissible to use the same identifier for different objects.
Page 821 Glossary Interrupt routine Interrupt routines are special → subprograms that can be started by events (external signals) in the machining process. A part program block which is currently being worked through is interrupted and the position of the axes at the point of interruption is automatically saved. Inverse-time feedrate The time required for the path of a block to be traversed can also be programmed for the axis motion instead of the feed velocity (G93).
Page 822 Glossary Limit speed Maximum/minimum (spindle) speed: The maximum speed of a spindle can be limited by specifying machine data, the → PLC or → setting data. Linear axis In contrast to a rotary axis, a linear axis describes a straight line. Linear interpolation The tool travels along a straight line to the destination point while machining the workpiece.
Page 823 Glossary Macro techniques Grouping of a set of statements under a single identifier. The identifier represents the set of consolidated statements in the program. Main block A block prefixed by ":" introductory block, containing all the parameters required to start execution of a ->...
Page 824 Glossary Numerical Control: Numerical control (NC) includes all components of machine tool control: → NCK, → PLC, HMI, → COM. Note A more correct term for SINUMERIK controllers would be: Computerized Numerical Control Numerical Control Kernel: Component of NC that executes the → part programs and basically coordinates the motion operations for the machine tool.
Page 825 Glossary Oriented tool retraction : If machining is interrupted (e.g. when a tool breaks), a program command can be RETTOOL used to retract the tool in a user-specified orientation by a defined distance. Overall reset In the event of an overall reset, the following memories of the → CPU are deleted: ●...
Page 826 Programmable Logic Controller: → Programmable logic controller. Component of → NC: Programmable control for processing the control logic of the machine tool. PLC program memory SINUMERIK 840D sl: The PLC user program, the user data and the basic PLC program are stored together in the PLC user memory. PLC programming The PLC is programmed using the STEP 7 software.
Page 827 Glossary Positioning axis Axis that performs an auxiliary motion on a machine tool (e.g. tool magazine, pallet transport). Positioning axes are axes that do not interpolate with → path axes. Pre-coincidence Block change occurs already when the path distance approaches an amount equal to a specifiable delta of the end position.
Page 828 Glossary Quadrant error compensation Contour errors at quadrant transitions, which arise as a result of changing friction conditions on the guideways, can be virtually entirely eliminated with the quadrant error compensation. Parameterization of the quadrant error compensation is performed by means of a circuit test. R parameters Arithmetic parameter that can be set or queried by the programmer of the →...
Page 829 Glossary Scaling Component of a → frame that implements axis-specific scale modifications. Setting data Data which communicates the properties of the machine tool to the NC as defined by the system software. Softkey A key, whose name appears on an area of the screen. The choice of softkeys displayed is dynamically adapted to the operating situation.
Page 830: Synchronized Actions
Glossary Synchronization Statements in → part programs for coordination of sequences in different → channels at certain machining points. Synchronized actions 1. Auxiliary function output During workpiece machining, technological functions (→ auxiliary functions) can be output from the CNC program to the PLC. For example, these auxiliary functions are used to control additional equipment for the machine tool, such as quills, grabbers, clamping chucks, etc.
Page 831 Glossary Text editor See → Editor TOA area The TOA area includes all tool and magazine data. By default, this area coincides with the → channel area with regard to the access of the data. However, machine data can be used to specify that multiple channels share one →...
Page 832 Glossary User interface The user interface (UI) is the display medium for a CNC in the form of a screen. It features horizontal and vertical softkeys. User memory All programs and data, such as part programs, subprograms, comments, tool offsets, and zero offsets/frames, as well as channel and program user data, can be stored in the shared CNC user memory.
Page 833 Glossary Working area limitation With the aid of the working area limitation, the traversing range of the axes can be further restricted in addition to the limit switches. One value pair per axis may be used to describe the protected working area. Working memory The working memory is a RAM in the →...
