Example: This is how you create an online help for NC/PLC variables

Overview

In order to create context-sensitive online help for NC/PLC variables or system variables as shown

in the following example, the descriptive texts are managed in language-dependent html files.

Figure 17-1

Example: Online help for user variables

Structure of the online help

The following files are required for the online help:

File

Meaning

sldgvarviewhelp.ini

Configuration file to manage an html file or several html files

<lng>/<name>1.html

The contents of all html files of the online help are language-

dependent and are saved in the relevant language directory

<lng>/<name>2.html

<lng>.

OEM-specific online help

17.7 Example: This is how you create an online help for NC/PLC variables

Structure of the configuration file

The file is independent of any language and is structured as follows:

sldgvarviewhelp.ini

[HelpBindings]

/BAG/STATE/OPMODE = var1_help.html#var1

$AA_IM[X1] = var1_help.html

$R[1] = var1_help.html#var2

/Channel/Parameter/R[u1,1] = var2_help.html#var2

DB2.DBX180.0 = var2_help.html#var1

GUD/MyVar[2] = var2_help.html

Note

The html files can be generated with any html editor. A definition is provided in the configuration

file as to which html files belong to the online help.

The description can comprise one or several html files: For example, one html file for each

variable or several identical variables in one file.

Procedure:

1. Copy the configuration file to the following directory:

/oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg/sldgvarviewhelp.ini

2. Copy the html files to one of the following directories:

/oem/sinumerik/hmi/hlp/<lng>/

/user/sinumerik/hmi/hlp/<lng>/

<lng> stands for the language code.

3. Delete all files in the directory:

/siemens/sinumerik/sys_cache/hmi//hlp

The settings become effective only after restarting the system.

count. In the initial state of the kinematics, this rotary axis must be orientated parallel to the

tool axis.

Note

Protect your technological knowledge

To protect your know-how, you can protect your cycles with individual access rights and

additional file encryption. Implement this cycle protection by means of the following measures:

• Encrypt your cycle data with the additional SIEMENS application SINUCOM Protector.

More information on SINUCOM can be found on the Internet (https://

support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109474775/sinumerik-828d-840d-sl%3A-

cycle-protection-with-protector-for-sinumerik-(oem-system-integrator)?dti=0&lc=en-WW).

• Assign individual access rights to your cycle data and adapt the authorization levels for the

user.

More information on assigning individual access rights can be found in Chapter "Access

levels for programs (Page 58)".

The following cycles are also available in the cycle package for individual adaptation:

CUST_TECHCYC.SPF

transformation functions:

• Longitudinal grooves on cylindrical bodies

• Transverse grooves on cylindrical objects

• Grooves with any path on cylindrical bodies

The path of the grooves is programmed with reference to the unwrapped, level surface of the

cylinder. Programming can be realized using straight line/circle, drilling or milling cycles or

contour milling (free contour programming).

There are two variants of cylinder surface transformation, i.e.

1. with groove side offset (ON)

2. without groove side offset (OFF)

Note

Data sets for transformations

For both data sets, you can use any transformations from all available transformations

(MD24100 $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_1, MD24200 $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_2, etc.). The two data sets need

not be directly next to each other.

However, the 1st data set must always be used for "Cylinder surface transformation without

groove side offset" (= 512) and the 2nd data set for "Cylinder surface transformation with groove

side offset" (=513).
