SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual CNC: ShopMill – 11/2006 Edition
If you wish to integrate your own measuring cycles in Manual mode, vertical
softkey 8 (VS8) in the new cycles screen acquires a special meaning. All ac-
tions that the new measuring cycle is supposed to perform after the "cycle start"
key has been pressed must be defined in a PRESS method for VSK8. If you
press the "cycle start" button, NC code is generated that is written and executed
in a program, i.e. the Generate Code (GC) function must be programmed in the
PRESS method for VSK8. This in turn means that an OUTPUT method must be
defined.
Note
The user does not have to press VSK8; it is triggered internally when the "cycle
start" key is pressed. It should therefore not be labeled.
The directory CYCLES\SC\PROG\TEMPLATES_DEU or
CYCLES\SC\PROG\TEMPLATES_ENG contains the archive file
E_MS_O1.ARC which contains the sample measuring cycle E_MS_O1.SPF.
The associated operator interface is configured in the E_DR_O1.COM file. The
files E_MS_TXD.COM and E_MS_TXE.COM contain the German and English
texts, and file EDGE_Z.BMP contains a help display.
Please see the README.TXT file for information on how to install the cycle.
If you want to link user measuring cycles into the operating area program, pro-
ceed as described in Section 10.2.1 "Transferring Cycles to the Machining
Plan".
A vertical softkey menu will then be created behind the entry softkey "Miscella-
neous" → "Zero point workpiece", via which you can call up your measuring
cycles. Such a vertical softkey menu already exists behind the "Miscellaneous"
→ "Measure tool" entry softkey.
