Description of blocks
4.4.1
FC30...35
The function blocks FC30...35 control the machine control panel functionality in
DB82 and the HMI functionality in DB81.
ShopMill is much more than just an operator interface consisting of screen
forms and images; in addition, it offers a complete operator system providing the
user with the necessary functions for each control state. For example, the ShopMill operation mode Manual is not identical to the NCK operating mode JOG.
For example, in order to execute the functions Zero point Workpiece, Measure tool, Positioning, etc. in Manual, ShopMill switches automatically at NC
Start to NC operating mode Automatic and back again to JOG mode at the
end of the function or at NC Stop. Thus from the operators point of view, the
manual functions are independent of the control operating modes of the NC.
This functionality, which is continued in the ShopMill Automatic mode, is implemented at the PCU (ShopMill user interface) and in the PLC (ShopMill PLC program FC30).
FC90
The following sample source files are available in the ShopMill library for parameter assignment to the ShopMill interface DB82:
S FC90_MSTT19.AWL (key assignment for MCP19)

S FC90_OP32S.AWL (key assignment for MCP of the OP032S)
Compilation of the above-mentioned STL sources produces the FC90 module.
FC90 can be called in OB1 in Part 1 of the user program.
If FC90 is not used, the following signals must be supplied in DB82:
S DB82 DBB0 (transmission mode for MCP signals)

S DB82 DBB8 (assignment: spindle/axis data record 4 or 5)

ShopMill interface DB82
Description of
function
The ShopMill PLC program also requires an interface to the PLC program in
addition to the internal interface to the user interface or to the NC interface. This
is provided in the ShopMill interface DB82.
The machine control panels signals (ShopMill operating modes Reset, Start,
Stop, Spindle clockwise/counter-clockwise/off, etc.) must be input into this interface by PLC user program part 1. The ShopMill PLC program then carries out
the relevant actions and returns the current status to DB82. This can then be
assessed by PLC user program part 2.

Note
When the ShopMill user interface is active, the ShopMill PLC program is also
activated. This is displayed by the output signal DB82 DBX36.0
cmm_plc_activ=1. The ShopMill interface DB82 must be assigned
parameters by the user program. The data transfer of the base signals from
IB0...7/QB0...7 is set via the DB82 DBB0 signal transfer_base_sig. The
default interface signals allocated by the ShopMill PLC program must not be
overwritten by the user.
Interlocking logic
for MCP signals
The interlocking/security logic in the PLC user program for the signals DB82
DBX4.1, base_sig.nc_cycle_start and DB82 DBX9.1, spindle_start must not
be implemented directly in the NCK interface but must act on the associated
input signals in IB0...7 of the MCP.
In addition, the DB21 DBX7.0 signal NC start disable can be activated for an
invalid start.
The interlocking signals must be in the PLC user program Part 1 before
FC19/FC24.

Diagnostics function for start-up purposes
Description of
function
The diagnostics block FC34 is used to monitor the default signals affected by
the ShopMill PLC program (see Section 4.5 Standard interface signals for/from
ShopMill). These signals must not be altered by the PLC user program. If
changes in the signals take place, the diagnostics block indicates this error in its
circular buffer for error messages (20 entries possible). If a signal is cyclically
changed, a new entry is conducted in the error message buffer in each PLC
cycle. This function is activated via the data block DB82 DBX60.0.
Example

function
DBX60.0 = 1 (monitor_on)

with exact value
assignment (G)
NC machine data with exact value assignment are machine data, which must
not be modified.
NC machine data
with minimum
value assignment
(M)
NC machine data with minimum value assignment are machine data, for which
the default value can be set higher.
NC machine data
with variable value
assignment (V)
NC machine data with variable value assignment are machine data for which
the default value can be set to a higher or lower value.
Note
S The machine data for calibrating the probe (measuring cycles) can be found
in Section 10.5 Machine data for execution of measuring cycles.
S When you are using a SINUMERIK 840D with NCU 573.2, MD 10050
$MN_SYSCLOCK_CYCLE_TIME must be set to 0.0025.
S Set the interpolation clock cycle via MD 10050 $MN_SYSCLOCK_CYCLE_TIME and MD 10070 $MN_IPO_SYSCLOCK_TIME_RATIO in such a
way that a workpiece can be machined and the Simultaneous Recording
function is executable.

Tools
In ShopMill the tool change is initiated by a tool-changing cycle. This cycle is

called by the ShopMill cycles where a tool can be programmed.
Operating
sequence
The ShopMill tool change cycle performs the following tasks:
1. Deactivate compensation of the active tool

2. Select new tool
(from the programmed cycle screen)
3. Call tool change cycle L6

Note: Tool change cycle L6 is called with M6.

Tool-changing cycle adapting to the machine
8.1
General
You need to create a tool change cycle, e.g. L6, for the machine-specific parts
of the tool change.
Example L6.SPF in the toolbox shows how to do this. This example requires:
S MD 22550 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_MODE=1
Tool is changed via an M function.
S MD 10715 $MN_M_NO_FCT_CYCLE[0]=6
M function (M6) used to call the tool change, i.e. the subroutine assigned via
MD 10716 $MN_M_NO_FCT_CYCLE_NAME[0].
S MD 10716 $MN_M_NO_FCT_CYCLE_NAME[0]=L6
Name of the subroutine (L6) to be executed after the M function defined in
MD 10715.
If the subroutine name is to be entered by means of program or MDI, the
name must be enclosed in quotation marks. This does not apply to manual
inputs.
S MD 22560 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_M_CODE=206
M function (M206) with which the tool change is defined for the tool management.
The machine data specified above can be found in the tool box in machine data
set CMM.8X0.

Manual tools
Manual tools
Manual tools are tools which are required during machining, but are only available in the tool list but not in the tool-holding magazine. These tools must be attached/detached manually to/from the spindle.
Machine data 22562 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE, bit1=1,
can be set to allow tools without a magazine location assignment to be selected
for tool changes.
An alarm is output every time the manual tool is loaded, unloaded or replaced.
(E.g. Channel 1, manual tool mill20, duplo no. 1 load to toolholder 1. i.e. the
manual tool mill20 must be attached to the spindle.)
Manual tools are identified by magazine location 1 in magazine 9999 in the interface to the PLC. Bit5 in DB72 DBB (n+0) is set to load the tool and bit6 to
unload it.

Tool Management
9.1
Overview of functions
Option
ShopMill only runs when the tool management option is set. It is shipped with
ShopMill as standard. The option is already set in the standard machine data
record for ShopMill.
References:
/FBW/, Description of Functions Tool Management
Data
Data storage and management is carried out in the NC. All data can be read
and written manually, via the NC program or by data transfer.
Operation
Operation is performed via system displays.
Programming
Tool management enables you to call the tool by name, e.g. Mill 120 mm.
The tool call is still possible via the T No. (tool number). The T No. is then the
name of the tool.
PLC
Separate PLC modules are available for tool management to handle the communication between NC and PLC.
Tools
A maximum of 250 tools can be set up on the PCU 20; on the PCU 50, the maximum number of tools is limited by MD 18082 $MN_MM_NUM_TOOL.
Replacement tools
A total of 98 replacement tools can be set up for each tool.
Magazine
Chain and disk-type magazines can be managed. The maximum number of

magazines is set in the NC.
Display MD 9674 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_TOOL_MAGAZINE can be set to conceal the magazine list.

Location coding
Display MD 9672 $MM_CMM_FIXED_TOOL_PLACE determines whether all

tools have a fixed or variable location coding.
S Fixed assignment (MD 9672, value 1) means that the tool is permanently
assigned to a magazine location. This concept can be used for machines
with disk-type magazine.
S For variable location assignment (MD 9672, value 0), a tool with a tool number or tool name can be returned to a different magazine location from its
original one. This concept can be used for machines with chain magazine.
You can set individual tools to fixed-location-coded in the operator interface
(tool wear).
Disabling
magazine
locations
Magazine locations can be disabled, e.g. for oversized tools occupying adjacent
magazine locations.
Monitoring
functions
The tool management system includes a tool monitoring function based on tool
edges that monitors according to tool life or tool loading operations. Replacement tools (sister tools) are distinguished by their Duplo No. (DP). Display
MD 9652 $MM_CMM_TOOL_LIFE_CONTROL can be set to deactivate the tool
monitoring function.
Tool management
without
Load/Unload
Setting 2 of display MD 9651 $MM_CMM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT can be selected to set the tool management function without a Load/Unload softkey.
Tool management
with
Load/Unload
Setting 4 of display MD 9651 $MM_CMM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT can be selected to set the tool management function with a Load/Unload softkey.
Loading
Loading brings the tool to its magazine location.
Unloading
Unloading removes the tool from the magazine.
Sorting
Tools can be sorted in the tool and tool wear lists according to magazine location, name and type.
Manual tools
Manual tools are tools that are stored in the tool list but not in the magazine.
These tools must be attached/detached manually to/from the spindle.

Entering the NC machine data for tool management

Machine data for the memory setting and activation of the management function
must be set.
Machine data for

memory setting
Memory space must be made available in the battery-backed RAM for the tool
management.
The following machine data must be set:

MD 18080
MD 18082
MD 18084
MD 18086
MD 18100
Activate the memory for tool management

Number of tools to be managed by the NCK
Number of magazines the NCK can manage (min. 3)
Include the buffer and loading magazines!
Number of magazine locations that the NCK can manage;
Include 3 buffer locations (2 grippers and 1 spindle) and
2 load points!
Number of cutting edges in the NCK
Note
ShopMill manages 2 cutting edges per tool. It is therefore expedient to limit the
number of edges to 2. Program the number of edges in MD 18105
MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO.
Example
Allocation of machine data when a dual gripper is used so that manual tools can
be used event when the magazine is fully allocated:
18082=40;
40 tools (30 magazine locations + 10 additional locations for
manual tools)
18084=3;
1 magazine + 1 buffer magazine + 1 load magazines
18086=35;
30 magazine slots + 3 buffer memory + 2 load points
18100=80;
80 edges
Note
The machine data settings serve only to reserve memory; locations are not
assigned to the magazine, etc. until the configuration file is set up and loaded
(see Subsection 9.2.4 Creating and loading the configuration file).
Modifying the memory-influencing machine data reformats the battery-backed
RAM. The data must therefore be backed up beforehand.

The secondary spindle main run is stopped until acknowledgement via FC7,
FC8 with status 1.
Bit8=0:
The secondary spindle main run continues after command output to the PLC.
Bit9:
ReservedBit10=1: M06 is delayed until the tool change has been prepared
via FC8 (status 1...) by the PLC.
The change signal (e.g. M06) is not output until the tool selection
(DBX [ n+0 ].2) is acknowledged. The parts program is stopped until the
T selection is acknowledged.
Bit10=0:
The tool change ON command is not output from NCK--> PLC until the
PLC preparation acknowledgement has been received.
This acknowledgement is relevant for PLC command 3 (i.e. programming of
M06 in a block that does not contain a T).
Bit11=1:
The preparatory command is also output even if it has already been output
once for the same tool.
This is useful for positioning the chain when Tx is called for the first time
and checking whether the tool is located in the correct change position (e.g.
in front of the change station).
Bit11=0:
The preparatory command can be output only once for each tool.
Bit12=1:
The preparatory command is also carried out even if the tool is already in
the spindle.
This means that the T selection signal (DB72.DBXn.2) is set even if it has
already been set for the same tool.
(Tx...Tx)
Bit12=0:
The preparatory command is not executed if thetool
is already mounted in the spindle.
Bit13=1:
Only on systems with sufficient memory capacity. Recording of tool sequences
in a diagnostics buffer.
On Reset the commands from the diagnostics buffer are stored in the passive
file system (NCATR xx.MPF under parts program).
This file is required by the Hotline.
Tool sequences are recorded in the diagnostics buffer only on systems with
sufficient memory capacity (NCU572, NCU573).

If the tool defined in TOOL_RESET_NAME must be loaded (set via
RESET_MODE_MASK), a selection and tool change command are output to
the user interface (DB72) with RESET or START.
If RESET_MODE_MASK is set to leave the active tool in the spindle, and if the
active tool is disabled in the spindle (by user), a change command for a
replacement tool is output to the user interface. If no replacement tool is
available, an error message is output.
Bit14=0:
No automatic tool change takes place in response to RESET and START.
Bit15=1:
The tool is not returned if several preparatory commands are output (Tx-->Tx).
This mode of function activation permits a variety of function combinations.
Example for default activation of the tool management:
MD 20310 TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK = 3 (Bit0 + 1 = 1)
Bit16=1: T location number is active
Bit15=0:

Program testing active. The NCK acknowledges the commands itself.
Magazine and tool data are not changed. Exception: The tool status of
the tool activated in the test area can change to active.
Bit20=1:
The generated commands are output to the PLC in response to PLC signal
Program testing active. Depending on the type of PLC acknowledgement,
tool/magazine data in the NCK can be altered at the same time. If the
acknowledgement parameters for the target magazine are set to the same
values as the source magazine, the tool is not transported and thus no data
modified in the NCK. Exception: The tool status of the tool activated in the test
area can change to active.
Bit21=0:
Ignore tool status W when selecting a tool.
Bit21=1:
Tools with W status cannot be selected by another tool change, tool

MD number
New tool offset for M function
Default setting: 0
Min. input limit: 0
Max. input limit: 1
Unit: ---Data type: BYTE
Meaning:
A tool is selected in the program with the T function. Whether the new tool is changed
immediately with the T function depends on the setting in this MD:
MD = 0
The new tool is changed immediately with the T function. This setting is used mainly for
turning machines with tool revolver.
MD = 1
The new tool is prepared for changing with the T function. This setting is mainly used on
milling machines with tool magazine to move the new tool to the tool change position in
parallel with machining (i.e. machining operation is not interrupted).
The old tool is removed from the spindle and the new tool loaded to it by means of the M
function entered in the MD. According to DIN 66025, this tool change must be
programmed with the M function M06.

Unit: -Data type: DWORD
Meaning:
If the T function is used only to prepare a new tool for tool change (for milling machines with
tool magazine, this setting is mainly used to bring the new tool to the tool change position in
parallel with the machining time), the tool change must be initiated with a further M function.
The M function entered in the MD initiates the tool change (remove old tool from the spindle
and load the new tool in the spindle). According to DIN 66025, this tool change must be
programmed with the M function M06.

Change takes effect after POWER ON
Unit: -Data type: DWORD
Meaning:
If MD 22550 is set to 0, the default setting of MD 22562 should not be altered.
Bit0=0: Standard response:
The program stops in the NC block containing the error.
Bit0=1: If the error occurs in the block containing the tool change preparation command,
the alarm activated by the preparation command (T) is ignored until the program
run reaches the point at which the associated tool change command (M06) is
interpreted.
The alarm activated by the preparation command is not output until this moment.
The user cannot therefore make any corrections until this program block is
reached.
Bit1=0: With active tool management only:
In preparing tool changes, the NCK detects only tools with data assigned to a
magazine.
Bit1=1: With active tool management only:
The NCK also loads a tool whose data are stored in the NCK, but to which no
magazine is assigned.
In this case, the NCK attempts to assign the tool data to the programmed spindle
location automatically.
If several usable tools are available, another search is started for an active tool.
If no active tool can be found, the tool with the lowest duplo number is selected.
Bit2=0
Active D no. > 0 and active T no. = 0 equals an offset of zero
Active DL no. > 0 and active D no. = 0 equals a total offset of zero
Bit2=1
Active D no. > 0 and active T no. = 0 generates an alarm message
Active DL no. > 0 and active D no. = 0 generates an alarm message

This mask is divided into a right and left byte,
S the right byte describes the tool search (bits0 and 1)

S the left byte describes the empty location search for the spindle tool.
A value must be specified for both strategies.
Bit mask (specification applies for bit=1):
S Bit0: search for active tool with designation (1)

S Bit1: search for next tool with designation (2)
S Bit8: search from 1st location onwards (256)
S Bit9: search from current location onwards (512)
S Bit10: search from last location backwards (1024)
S Bit11: search from current location backwards (2048)
S Bit12: search from current location symmetrically (4096)
Example: $TC_MAMP2=4097 (bit12 and bit0=1)
Bit12: Search for empty location: search from current location symmetrically,
Bit0: Tool search: search for active tool

Overview of tool management
FC6 supplies data blocks DB71/72 with the information for the new and old
tools. FC6 is called by the basic program and need not be called again in the
user program.
So that the tool management always knows where the current tool is located,
each location change must be notified to the tool management via FC8 (transfer
block). FC8 (transfer block) is called by the user program (FB110).
The data blocks DB71/72 and 74 are set up automatically. The lengths of the
data blocks are determined by the parameters for the tool management in DB4.
These are written by the user program (FC100).

Requirements
S PCU start-up is carried out and the connection set up to the NC.
S NCK start-up is carried out with the NC machine data for ShopMill.
S The standard basic program is loaded.
Execution
S Adapt one of the following source files and compile it:

--
TM_WO_GR.AWL (data transfer without dual gripper)
--
TM_W_GR.AWL (data transfer with dual gripper)
Source files TM_WO_GR.AWL and TM_W_GR.AWL contain the following

blocks
--
FC100 (block for tool management configuration)
--
FB110, DB110 (blocks for data transfer in tool management)
The blocks for transferring tool management data (FB110, DB110) must be
adapted to suit the individual machine.
S Call the blocks in OB1 and OB100:

--
Call FC100 in OB100 (before FB1)
--
Call FB110 in OB1 (after FC30)
The specified call sequence for these blocks is mandatory.
S Load the blocks to the PLC

Note
Tool management start-up in the PLC is carried out in conjunction with ShopMill
start-up.

General
Two STL sources are available for tool management in the ShopMill library:
S TM_WO_GR.AWL (data transfer without dual gripper) with contents

--
FC100 (tool management configuration)
--
FB110 (data transfer for tool management in standard mode)
S TM_W_GR.AWL (data transfer with dual gripper) with contents

--
FC100 (tool management configuration)
--
FB110 (data transfer for tool management in standard mode)
The block for configuration of the tool management (FC 100) is identical in both
STL sources. The block for data transfer for tool management in standard mode
(FB110) is different in both STL sources.
FC100
Block FC100 transfers the configuration data of the tool management to DB4
and must be called in OB100.
The configuration data are preset for 2 load points (DB71) and one spindle
(DB72).
The Real MagLoc parameter of FC100 (number of locations of the real magazine) must be supplied when FC100 is called so that FC22 (direction selection)
can be used.
FB110
Block FB110 controls the data transfer for tool management in standard mode.
This block must be called in OB1. Data module DB110 (instance DB) must be
loaded.
The block includes the following functions:
S Acknowledge load/unload/relocate for 1st load point

S Acknowledge load/unload for 1st load point
S Acknowledge prepare/change for 1st spindle
S Abort, i.e. negative acknowledgment for the above-mentioned functions
The acknowledgment for this function can be enabled by the PLC via the input
parameter of FB110, e.g. load/unload via customer key (see table below for
input parameters).
Data transfer
without dual gripper
FB110 from the AWL source TM_WO_GR.AWL may be used for data transfer
without dual gripper.
Tool change from the magazine to the spindle is carried out in one step here.
The tool magazine is changed directly into the spindle.

Address for magazine no. target of 2nd load point is DBW 58.
Load point 1 is intended for loading/unloading in all spindles. This must be
taken into account in the load interface assignment (applies to PCU 20; automatically taken into account in PCU 50). Load point 1 is also used for relocation/positioning of tools in any location (e.g. buffer location).

Configuring the operator interface
There are 2 ways in which you can modify the existing tool management operator interface:
S You can configure the parameters variably as a function of tool in the lists
provided.
S You can configure your own lists in addition to the standard lists.
9.5.1
To modify the standard lists
You can make the following changes in the standard lists:
S Change a particular column for all tools.

S Change a particular column for a particular tool.
S Define different columns for each tool.
You must store every change to the list default settings in configuration file
to_mill.ini.
An example of this is given on the application diskette for the PCU 20. You can
adapt this example and then install it with the ShopMill software.
For the PCU 50, you will find an example in directory ADD_ON after you have
installed ShopMill. You can also adapt this and then store it in directory OEM.
The configuration file will be evaluated only if you set bit 6 in MD 9478
$MM_TO_OPTION_MASK.
Note
You need only define settings which deviate from the default in the
configuration file.
In this regard, please note the following:
S You can define up to 13 columns after the DP number column.

S Define the edge parameters, i.e. length, radius and angle in successive
columns.
S Define either edge parameters or tool parameters, but not both, in one
column. (Tool parameters are all parameters which are not edge parameters.)
9-136

9 Tool Management
12.01
9.5
Syntax
The following syntax rules applies to entries in the configuration file (see also
example at end of this section):
First specify the tool management list in which you wish to make changes.
[SCREEN_ID]
SCREEN_ID: Tool management list
Next, define the changes themselves:
S Change a particular column for all tools:

COLUMNx=CONTENT_ID
COLUMN: Column command
x: Column number, max. 13
CONTENT_ID: Parameter or property of tool
S Change a particular column for a particular tool:

TOOL_ID= x=CONTENT_ID
TOOL_ID: Tool type
S Define different columns for each:

TOOL_ID = CONTENT_ID / CONTENT_ID / ...
TOOL_ID = CONTENT_ID / CONTENT_ID / ...
...
The parameters or properties of a tool are listed consecutively on the basis
of a CONTENT_ID and separated from one another by an oblique symbol
/. Even if you want to use the default setting for individual columns, you
must still enter the oblique symbol.
If, for example, you want to change only the last columns, enter the number
(x) of the first column that you wish to alter and then list the appropriate
CONTENT_ID for the following columns.
TOOL_ID = x = CONTENT_ID / CONTENT_ID / ..
Note
Using the COLUMN command, you can first define one column identically for
all tools and then adapt it specifically for individual tools.
You can identify comments by a semicolon (;) symbol.

If errors occur as the configuration file is being evaluated, you will find a description of the error in file to_ini_f.com in directory Temp.

Defining an additional list
You can define another list, configured by yourself, on the 3rd horizontal softkey
on the tool management operator interface. You can use the parameters from
the standard lists as well as 6 user-defined parameters in this customized list. (If
you use customized parameters in this extra list, you will also be able to use
them in the standard lists.)
You must activate the list by setting bit 2 of display MD 9478 $MM_TO_OPTION_MASK.
You must also set MD 18094 $MN_MM_NUM_CCTDA_PARAM to 8.
Note
Once you have set the two machine data above, you can call a sample list with
2 user-defined parameters by selecting the 3rd horizontal softkey on the tool
management user interface.
Define the list
Instructions on how to define the customized list can be found in Subsection

9.5.1 To modify the standard lists. All these instructions apply equally to customized lists.
The SCREEN_ID for the customized list is as follows:

Brief description
Overview
You can use measuring cycles for automatic measuring on vertical machining
centers and universal milling machines with ShopMill.
For this you need to connect a touch trigger probe to the control.
Measuring cycles
The measuring cycles are shipped with ShopMill and contained in the ShopMill
Toolbox.
You need to adapt the measuring cycle data to the actual conditions of the
machine and make an initial assignment.

S Protection level 0 offers the highest access authorization and protection

level 7 the lowest.
S If a particular access right is assigned to a protection level, then the same

right will be automatically available on all higher protection levels.
S By the same token, an access right for a particular protection level can only
be changed from a higher protection level.
S The access rights on protection levels 0 to 3 are set as Siemens defaults.

S Access authorization is set through scanning of the current keyswitch
position and a comparison of password entries. In this case, a password
entry overwrites the access rights associated with the keyswitch position.
S Options can be saved on all protection levels, but option data can only be
input on protection levels 0 and 1.
S The access rights for protection levels 4 to 7 are merely suggested settings
and can be altered by the machine manufacturer or end user.

12.01
Keyswitch positions (DB10, DBX56.4 to 7)
Keyswitch
The keyswitch on the SINUMERIK 840D/810D or SINUMERIK FM-NC has

4 positions to which protection levels 4 to 7 are assigned. The keyswitch is operated by 3 colored keys that can be removed from the lock in different positions
(see Table 12-2). Functions can be assigned to the key positions by the machine manufacturer or end user. Access to programs, data and functions can be
set user-specifically in machine data (see Section 12.4 Machine data for protection levels).
The keyswitch positions are transferred to the PLC interface (interface signals
Keyswitch positions 0 to 3 (DB10, DBX56.4 to 7)) for evaluation by the PLC
user program.
Keyswitch position 0 has access rights of the lowest priority and position 3 access rights of the highest priority. For example, all data which can be changed in
positions 0, 1 or 2, can also be changed in keyswitch position 3.
Application of
keyswitch
The keyswitch can be used to inhibit access to certain data areas. This protective function can be used, for example, to prevent the operator from making unintentional changes to geometry data (e.g. zero offsets) or activating program
controls (e.g. selection of dry run feedrate).

Linking user-configured cycles into the machining plan
If you wish to link user-configured cycles to existing program steps in the machining plan, it is essential that you configure the variables described below.
You must first define three variables which are not assigned until the program
step is inserted in the machining plan, i.e. the attribute must be assigned invisibly (wr0) to the input field of each variable. The variable sequence is as follows:
1. Variable for the next tool, data type String (S)
2. Variable for the position identifier in objects, data type Integer
3. Variable for the sequencer text to be displayed later in the ShopMill machining plan, data type String (S).
A value is best assigned to this variable in a LOAD method.
Two variables for cycles processing must also be defined as well as one variable for each toggle field which has a different display content on the interface
(e.g. mm/rev) than the internally transferred quantity (e.g. 1).
These variables do not have their own input field, i.e. the attribute must also be
assigned invisibly (wr0). The placement of the variables is optional.
Note
When an OUTPUT method is used, all variables described above must be
configured within this method so that they can all be interpreted on
recompilation.
Example
13-170
The toolbox contains a sample cycle named E_DR_O1.SPF. The associated

operator interface is configured in file E_DR_O1.COM. The German and

Incorporating own measuring cycles
When configuring your own measuring cycles, the vertical softkey 8 (VSK8) is
assigned a special meaning in the new cycles mask. All actions that the new
measuring cycle are to perform when the NC Start key is pressed must be
defined in a PRESS method for VSK8. If the NC Start key is pressed, NC code
is generated, and written to a program where it is processed; i.e. the function
Generate Code (GC) must be programmed in the PRESS method for VSK8 if
necessary. This, in turn means that an OUTPUT method must be defined.
Note
The VSK8 must not be pressed by the operator but is triggered internally when
the NC Start key is pressed. It should therefore not be labeled.
Example
The toolbox contains a sample measuring cycle named E_DR_O1.SPF. The

associated operator interface is configured in file E_DR_O1.COM. The German
and English texts are stored in files E_MS_TXD.COM and E_MS_TXE.COM

12.01
Swivel heads and tables
Swivel heads and tables are employed to create or machine oblique surfaces.
Display MD 9723 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_SWIVELLING_HEAD is set to enable
the swiveling function.
You must set up a swivel data set for every swivel head, swivel table or combination of both.
You can define swivel data sets using softkey Swivel cycle in the Start-up
operating area on the CNC-ISO operator interface. For further details, see:
References: /PGZ/, Programming Guide Cycles.
Alarms
When the swivel head/table is set manually, alarms displaying the required angle are output:
62180
Set both axes manually
62181
Set one axis manually
With a Hirth tooth system, the corresponding rotary axes can only assume certain positions (angle grid > 0). If the programming demands a position that deviates from the angle grid, the machine automatically sets the next closest position and outputs an alarm.
112328
Angle adjusted to angle grid
How the alarm must be acknowledged can be set in swivel cycle TOOLCARR.
An alarm is output if the swivel head/table must be set to an angle outside the
permissible angular range in order to machine the workpiece:
61184
Machining not possible with current angle values
The programmed machining operation cannot be performed with the existing
swivel head/table.
ShopMill generates one of the following alarms when you manually load/unload
or replace swivel heads:
112323
Unload swivel head
112324
Load swivel head
112325
Replace swivel head
When swivel heads are loaded/unloaded or replaced, the swivel head cycle
TOOLCARR is also called.

Swivel cycle
13 Miscellaneous
Swivel heads and tables
Swivel cycle TOOLCARR.SPF is stored in the toolbox and must be adapted to

meet special machine requirements:
S PLC enable to open the safety door

S Confirm that swivel head or table has been changed
S Angular setting of the swivel head/table
S Angular setting of the swivel head prior to tool change
S Angular setting of the swivel head prior to swivel head change
S Actions involved in adapting swivel plane due to Hirth tooth system
S Swivel angle on start of program
Note
One of the functions of cycle E_SWIV_H in swivel cycle TOOLCARR is to set
the angle of the swivel head prior to a tool change.
The following parameters must be transferred:
Swivel head number (stored in variable _TC1)
Angle of 1st swivel axis
Angle of 2nd swivel axis.
Cycle E_SWIV_H must not be used in modes _M20 and _M31.

13.5 Multiple clamping
13.5
12.01
Multiple clamping
The Multiple clamping function optimizes tool changes over several workpiece
clampings. On the one hand, this reduces downtimes and, on the other, eliminates tool change times because a tool performs as many machining operations
as possible in all clampings before the next tool change is initiated.
You can either execute the same program several times in the clampings or you
can select different programs.
The Multiple clamping with different programs is a software option with Order
No. 6FC5 463-0FA04-0AA0.
The Multiple clamping function utilizes cycle CLAMP.SPF which is automatically loaded when ShopMill is installed.
You can leave the cycle unchanged for flat clamping devices. In the case of
rotating clamping devices, you must adapt the cycle to match the features of the
machine so as to ensure that the next workpiece can be turned to the correct
position while the current workpiece is being machined.
You can find the required cycle in tools\cycles\d in the toolbox.

13.7 Spindle control

12.01
Spindle control
The ShopMill spindle control has the following special features:
S MD 35040 $MA_SPIND_ACTIVE_AFTER_RESET, value 1 causes the NCK

not to switched off the spindle at M2 or M30. In contrast, the ShopMill PLC
distinguishes between M2 and M30. The spindle is stopped in response to
M30 or RESET, but not M2.
One of the benefits of this functionality is that the spindle can be started at
any time in manual mode (e.g. for scratching).
S The keys Spindle right, Spindle left and Spindle stop triggers the ShopMill -PLC input signals DB82 DBX9.1 spindle_start, DB82 DBX9.4 spindle_right, DB82 DBX9.3 spindle_left and DB82 DBX9.2 spindle_stop.
The ShopMill PLC program writes the following interface signals to the
signal data block:
DB3x.DBX30.0 Spindle Stop
DB3x.DBX30.1 Spindle Start CW Rotation
DB3x.DBX30.2 Spindle Start CCW Rotation
The spindle can be started and stopped when the channel is in the Reset
state (DB21.DBX35.7=1) or when the channel status is interrupted
(DB21.DBX35.6=1) and the program status is interrupted
(DB21.DBX35.3=1).
Note
If the spindle must be stopped when the program is running, then interface
signal Feed Stop/Spindle Stop must be set in the user PLC (DB3x.DBX4.3).
The spindle control can be deactivated via interface signal DB82.DBX9.0.

Automatically generated programs
Automatically generated programs
ShopMill creates several programs automatically during operation.
CMM_SINGLE
The program is created when a function is executed in the Machine manual

operating area. The ShopMill PLC switches internally to the Machine Auto
area, processes the CMM_SINGLE program and returns to the Machine
Manual operating area.
CMM_MDI
The G code records programmed under MDI are saved in this program.
INPUT_DATA_MM
INPUT_DATA_IN
The parameter values last entered in a mask are saved in this program, independent of the unit of measurement. (INPUT_DATA_MM = values with the unit
mm; INPUT_DATA_IN = values with the unit Inch)
REM_DATA
The data to be retained after the machine is switched off are stored in this program.

ShopMill Open (PCU 50)
The difference between ShopMill Open and ShopMill Classic is that the Open
variant has a basic menu bar or extended basic menu bar. It is not possible to
change to the CNC ISO operator interface in ShopMill Open, but the HMI
Advanced operating areas Parameters (without tool management and zero
offsets), Services, Diagnosis and Start-Up are directly accessible via the
extended horizontal softkey menu.
Furthermore, you can integrate Windows applications via softkeys in the basic
menu bar in ShopMill Open.
You must install these Windows applications in the OEM directory and define
them in file Regie.ini. For further details, see on the ShopMill CD-ROM:
References:

There are various methods by which you can integrate Windows applications
into the basic menu bar:
S Horizontal softkey 4, i.e. the Messages/Alarms operating area is replaced

S User-assignable softkeys 7 and 8
S User-assignable softkeys 1 to 8 in the extended horizontal softkey menu
Return jump from
application
There are 3 methods by which you can jump from the Windows application to
another operating area:
S Using the Menu Select key on the operator panel, you can return to the
basic menu bar and then select another operating area via a softkey.
S You can configure the keys Position, Program, Offset, Program Manager, Alarm and Custom on the operator panel to branch directly into another operating area or sub-menu.
S You can configure so-called PLC keys to branch into another operating
area or sub-menu.
