Manufacturer cycle CUST_782.SPF

Function

Cycle CUST_782 is called internally by CYCLE782 (determine the load). It is used to execute the

required traverse distances and traverse conditions for determining the load. These are specific

to the machine and must be set accordingly by the machine manufacturer.

Adapting manufacturer cycle CUST_782.SPF

You can execute the following actions with the aid of the _MODE parameter:

Marker

Action

_M1

Call at the start of CYCLE782

_M10

Go to starting position

_M11

Traverse movements for determining the load

_M12

Traverse movements for determining the friction

_M19

Go to end position

_M99

Call at the end of CYCLE782

Resetting value for the moment of inertia

Before each determination of the load, the moment of inertia last determined can be reset to a

defined value in the CUST_782 movement profile by writing the following variables.

$VA_RESET_INERTIA_TOTAL[ax]

Resetting the moment of inertia estimator

= -1

Reset moment of inertia and load

= 0

No action (default when reading)

= 1

Reset moment of inertia

ax = axes in the system

To ensure that the old moment of inertia does not have any influence on the new result, reset

the last estimated moment of inertia prior to each new traversing with the parameterization = 1.

This will allow the estimation results determined to be reproduced.

Should you wish to reset the estimated load torque at the same time (e.g. the friction force), use

the parameterization = -1.

Note

System variable $VA_RESET_INERTIA_TOTAL is only available for SINAMICS drives. It describes

the SINAMICS parameter p1565.

MD52441 $MCS_LIMIT_RES_PATH_SPEED can be used to limit or reduce the speed of the path

movement resulting from the axial limitation values in critical program sections.

The resulting path velocity is limited to the value specified in the machine data. No limitation

takes effect with the value 0.

Furthermore, limitation is deactivated upon deselection of CYCLE832 or upon reset or end of

part program.

Axis/contour tolerance

The distinguishing feature between "Advanced Surface" and "Top Surface" functions is as

follows:

For "Advanced Surface", the axis tolerance for the linear axes (geometry axes) is transferred to

the CNC with the NC command CTOL.

CTOL = √3 * Axis tolerance

For "Top Surface", the contour tolerance is transferred to the CNC with the NC command CTOL.

Tolerance value = 0: Tolerance value (CTOL) is loaded from the following setting data:

Example: CYCLE832(0,_ROUGH,1) → tolerance value from SD55446 is used.

SD55446 $SCS_MILL_TOL_VALUE_ROUGH

Tolerance value for roughing CYCLE832

SD55447 $SCS_MILL_TOL_VALUE_SEMIFIN

Tolerance value for semi-finishing CYCLE832

SD55448 $SCS_MILL_TOL_VALUE_FINISH

Tolerance value for finishing CYCLE832

SD55449 $SCS_MILL_TOL_VALUE_PRECISION

Tolerance value for smooth-finishing CYCLE832

Software option

To use the contour tolerance, you require the software option:

"Top Surface"

Orientation tolerance

If rotary axes are involved in the machining (multi-axis transformation), the orientation

tolerance value is transferred to the CNC with the NC command OTOL.

Workpiece measurement

For milling:

• The probe has been inserted in the tool spindle.

• The probe has been selected in the tool list as type 7xx (probe).

• The probe is activated as tool in the current NC channel.

Tool measurement

To measure tools, an appropriate probe must be located in the machine space so that this can be

reliably and safely reached with a tool in the spindle.

The following tool types are supported with measure tool:

• Milling technology: Tool types 1xx and 2xx

• Turning technology: Tool types 5xx, 1xx and 2xx

For the specified tool types, the tool lengths and the tool radii can be measured.

0038 0000 hexadecimal

1. Select Hex on the calculator.

2. Enter the digit string 00380000 (leading zeroes can be omitted).

3. Select Dec.

Result: 3670016

4. Assign the result to the parameter as a characteristic value.

Application examples

For the Windows application Notepad, the system menu as well as the horizontal and vertical

scroll bar should be activated:

21.2 Parameterizing the OEMFrame application

The following parameter assignment is possible:

[startup]

fSearchOnlyForTaskWindow = 0

fRestoreTaskWindow

This parameter defines the behavior when exiting a Windows application that was started from

the OEMFrame application as second task level.

When the OEMFrame application is deselected, the last window that was active

(ForegroundWindow) is saved by default. When reselecting the OEMFrame application, this

window is reactivated.

If another application was started from the OEMFrame application, then the active window

refers to the new Windows application.

Note

Incorrect displays

In many cases, the proxy application "oemframe.exe" cannot detect when the new Windows

application ends. Display errors can occur in the second task level. Activate a basic window for

the OEMFrame application.

The behavior can be influenced via the following values:

fRestoreTaskWindow

= 0

When selecting the OEMFrame application or starting a Windows application from the OEM-

Frame application, the ForegroundWindow is activated. When ending the second task level,

the OEMFrame application is displayed.

= 1

When selecting the OEMFrame application or starting a Windows application from the OEM-

Frame application, a basic window is activated before the ForegroundWindow is activated.

When ending the second task level, the basic window of the OEMFrame application is always

displayed.

ForegroundWindow window is then reactivated.

The behavior can be changed via the following values:

fForceTaskFocus and fSearchForPopUps

When the OEMFrame application is deselected, an active popup window is searched for rather

than the ForegroundWindow window.

Behavior of the search:

• If a popup window was found, it is displayed when the OEMFrame application is reselec-

ted.

• If no popup window exists or was found, the basic window of the application is displayed

when the application is reselected.

This parameter deactivates the resizing (zooming) for the basic window of the OEMFrame

application. By default, the application is zoomed to the screen size before it is displayed. In the

case of applications that do not allow their windows to be zoomed, the resizing can result in

display problems. In such cases, the zoom function must be deactivated.

nInitShowMode/nShowMode/nUnShowMode

The three parameters define how the application window will be displayed when the application

is started, hidden, and shown.

The parameter nInitShowMode starts the application. The nShowMode parameter refers to

showing the application (area is activated). The parameter nUnShowMode hides the application.

The following value range exists for the parameters nShowMode and nUnShowMode:

nShowMode and nUnShowMode

= 0

The application window is hidden (SW_HIDE).

= 1

The application window is displayed in its original form (position, size) and has the input focus

(SW_SHOWNORMAL, SW_NORMAL).

= 2

The application window is minimized and has the input focus

(SW_SHOWMINIMIZED).

= 3

The application window is maximized (SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED).

= 4

The application window is displayed without having the input focus

(SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE).

= 5

The application window is displayed and has the input focus (SW_SHOW).

= 6

The application window is minimized and loses the input focus (SW_MINIMIZE).

= 7

21.2 Parameterizing the OEMFrame application

fWinForms

Windows Forms parameters provide control elements to applications which also use Windows

default applications, e.g. dialog boxes, menus and buttons.

If the OEMFrame application is a Windows Forms application, then the following

parameterization is required:

[<app-name>]

fWinForms = 1

Note

Deactivated size adjustment

If the parameter fWinForms is not set, the OEMFrame application does not open to the

maximum size. The specified size adjustments (x, y, Width and Height) are deactivated.

nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination

This parameter controls the behavior when the OEMFrame application is exited. Normally in this

situation, the system manager displays the operating area switchover, which can be used to

switch over to another area.

The parameter nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination can be used to initiate an automatic

switch to the previously active area:

nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination

= -1

Display of the operating area switchover (default)

= -2

Switchover to the previously active area

Example

When the "closeapp.exe" Windows application is exited, a switch should be made to the previous

area. The following parameter assignment is required:

[closeapp]

nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination = -2

fFindWindowWithWildcards

With this parameter, a wildcard search can be activated for the attribute Windowname. In this

way it is possible to identify applications that do not have the same attribute window name at

every start, e.g. access level, time-of-day under window name, etc.:

fFindWindowWithWildcards
