magPlaceUserDataNumLimit (T, TM)

entfaellt

BTSS-Baustein T/TUP

Access to user magazine location data

The line number for access to the user magazine location data in the TUP module is calculated as follows:

$$numMagLocParams_u * $$magNrPlaces. (MD18092 $MN_MM_NUM_CC_MAGLOC_PARAM * $TC_MAP6[magNo] *

$TC_MAP7[magNo]).

However, the maximum possible line number is 32767, this means that not all user location data can be addressed. There are

(bit-coded) status codes to indicate this state.

Return value

Value range:

o Bit0=1: The product of the current values from the number of magazine locations

($TC_MAP6[magNo] * $TC_MAP7[magNo]) and the number of user magazine location para-

meters (MD18092 $MN_MM_NUM_CC_MAGLOC_PARAM) exceeds the maximum line number.

These values may not yet be effective.

o Bit1=1: The product of the effective values from the number of magazine locations

($TC_MAP6[magNo] * $TC_MAP7[magNo]) and the number of user magazine location para-

meters (MD18092 $MN_MM_NUM_CC_MAGLOC_PARAM) exceeds the maximum line number.

Therefore not all user data from all magazine locations of this magazine can be read on the OPI.

$TC_MAP10, Bits 8-15

Empty location search strategy

The variable returns the current empty location search strategy of the magazine. It corresponds to system variable $TC_MAP10

bit 8-16.

Return value

Value range:

o Bit 8: Forward search as from location number 1 in ascending order.

o Bit 9: Forward search as from the current location at the change position in ascending order.

o Bit 10: Backward search, backwards from the last location number.

o Bit 11: Backward search, backwards from the current location of the change position.

o Bit 12: Symmetrical search beginning at the current location number at the change position

(1st location left, 1st location right, 2nd location left 2nd location right, etc.).

o Bit 13: 1:1 replacement (only significant with tool change): If the location types and sizes of

the old and new tools are the same, the magazine location of the "new" tool being loaded is

transferred to the "old" tool being removed, and vice versa. The 1:1 replacement is preferably

checked. If a 1:1 replacement is not possible, the other settings are used for the search strategy.

o Bit 14=0: Search first in the individual magazines. If no possible location is found, search in the

next magazine for an available location for the tool.

o Bit 14=1: Search in all magazines for the best location corresponding to the hierarchy for the

tool.

o Bit15=0: (Conventional type of hierarchy): With this type, the location type of the searching

tool is sought in the table of system variables $TC_MPTH. If the location type is found, this

hierarchy is taken and evaluated from this level to the end.

Bit 15=1: (Alternative type of hierarchy): Location type hierarchies can be defined for the re-

corded location types 1, ..., $MN_MM_MAX_NUM_OF_HIERARCHIES. The hierarchy for location

type 1 is defined by $TC_MPTH[0,n], for location type 2 by $TC_MPTH[1,n], and so on. (n: Index

in a hierarchy). With this setting, a location type can be defined in various hierarchies.

rarchies.

Bit16: The hierarchy consideration is canceled for the mini hierarchy that consists merely of the

location type itself and location type 0. In this case, the empty location search does not distin-

guish between the suitable location type ( $TC_TP7 == $TC_MPP2) and the general location type

"0" of the magazine location.

TMV: Magazine data, directory

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/MagazineCatalogue/...

The TMV data module can be used for the following purposes:

1. To display all magazines. The most important magazine information is collected in the TMV module. Existing

magazines are sorted in continuous ascending order of magazine number. This means that variables that are

defined in this module as 1-dimensional arrays contain all the magazine information without any gaps. The row

index with which a specific array can be addressed does not refer to the magazine number, it is just a serial number.

Inserting or deleting magazines changes the contents of a row dynamically.

2. Targeted access to magazine data in the TM, TP and TPM modules. Which magazines are actually defined should

be determined from the TMV module before accessing an element in the stated modules.

3. Display of all adapters. The most important adapter information is collected in the TMV module. Existing adapters

are sorted in continuous ascending adapter number order. This means that variables defined in this module as 1-

dimensional arrays contain all the adapter information without any gaps. The row index with which a specific array

is addressed has no connection to the adapter number, but is just a serial number. Inserting or deleting adapters

changes the contents of a row dynamically.

4. Targeted access to adapter data in the ADN modules. The adapters actually defined should be determined from

the MTV module before accessing an element in the stated module.

TO: Tool offsets

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Compensation/...

The data module TO is organized as a 2-dimensional variable array.

The module contains the tool edge offset data for all tools. Each element can be addressed via a column and row

index:

The column index is the tool number (T-number), i.e. the offset data for all cutting edges of a tool are located in one

column. The assignment of a tool to a T-number is given in the module "Tool directory" (TV) in the related area T.

If a non-existent tool number is entered for the column index the request is negatively acknowledged.

The number of rows is derived from the number of parameters per tool edge and the number of edges on a tool:

maxZeilenindex = $$numCuttEdgeParams * $$/T/TV/numCuttEdges (T-number)

The number of parameters per tool edge "$$numCuttEdgeParams" is given in module Y in area N. The number of

cutting edges "$$/T/TV/numCuttEdges" is always tool-specific and is given in the module TV in associated area T.

If necessary, several rows can be addressed, so that in one request, for example, all tool edge offset data of a single

tool can be read. The offset values of the tool edges are all of the same data type and have the same physical unit.

TPM: Magazine data, multiple assignment of place data

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Magazine/...

The data module TPM is organized as a 2-dimensional variable array.

ParameterNo = 1: Specifies the magazine number with which a relationship exists.

ParameterNo = 2: Distance (in locations) between the internal location and the magazine change position (cf.

magazine number for 1st parameter) with which a relationship will be established.

It contains information about possible multiple assignments. The column index is the magazine number.

For location P with location number p in magazine MP (= column index) $$numPlaceMulti times the multiple

assignments to other magazines which are possible are stored with the associated distances to the change positions

in each of the magazines. The offset for row index zi for a location number p is calculated according to the following

rule: zi = (p-1) * $$numPlaceMulti * $$numPlaceMultiParams + ParameterNo.

Determining the distance between the load position and the change position:

The value 9999 (magazine no. load position) must be specified for the variable $$multiPlace in the column. The

LocationNo (p) for the line is the number of the load position. The line for the first assignment is calculated with

ParameterNo = 1. When reading the variable, the system can thus read the magazine number linked to the intended

change position. If this magazine number is correct, it is possible to read the number of locations between the load

position and the change position with the variable $$multiPlace with the next higher line number. If the magazine

number read was incorrect, the following magazine assignment must be read with the line number increased by

$$numPlaceMulti.

This procedure has to be repeated a max. of $$numPlaceMultiParams times until the desired relationship has been

found.

multiPlace (T, TPM)

Distance to change position

The current magazine position is required for tool change, loading and unloading.

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/User/...

(Previous designation: TUO)

The data module TUE is organized as a two-dimensional variable field. The module contains user-defined edge data

for all tools. Each element can be addressed via a column and line index:

The column index is the tool number (T number), i.e. the user-defined data for all edges of a tool can be found in

one column. The assignment of a tool to a T number can be drawn from the module Tool Directory in te related area

T. If a non-existant tool number is entered for the column index, then the job is acknowledged negatively.

The number of lines results from the number of parameters per edge and from the number of edges of a tool:

maxNumberof lines = $$numCuttEdgeParams_tu * $$/T/TV/numCuttEdges (T number)

The number of parameters per edge "$$numCuttEdgeParams_tu" can be drawn from module Y in area N. The

number of edges "$$/T/TV/numCuttEdges" which can be tool-specific, can be drawn from module TV in the related

area T.

If required, several lines may be addressed so that - for example - in one job all user-defined edge data of a tool can

be read. The data are all of the same type.

TV: Tool data, directory

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Catalogue/...

Data module TV can be used for the following purposes:

1. For displaying all tools of a magazine. The most important tool information is contained in module TV. Available

tools are sorted consecutively in ascending order of T-number. This means that variables that are defined as one-

dimensional arrays in this module contain all the tool information without any gaps. The line index with which a

specific array is addressed has no connection with the tool number but is only a serial number. Inserting/deleting

tools changes the contents of a line dynamically.

2. Access to tool data in modules TD, TG, TO, TS, TU and TUE. Before an element in one of the above modules is

accessed, module TV should be consulted to ascertain which tools are actually defined.

During NC operation different internal states occur and system-specific data may change during operation. To

distinguish those from system variables, they are classified as state data.

A distinction is made between:

- NCK-specific state data

- Mode-group-specific state data

- Channel-specific state data

- Drive-specific state data (FDD)

- Drive-specific state data (MSD)

No cyclic service may be set up on variables in this module. Only single variable access is permitted.

network.

The IP address is dynamically fetched from the DHCP server at

X1.

X2

Local Area Connection

Preset as a SINUMERIK DHCP server for connection to a system

network.

A fixed IP address is preset at X2: If 192.168.214.241 is free in

the system network, it is set.

Otherwise you can view the allocated fixed IP address in the

Control Panel.

The network designation may deviate depending on the system.

Note

The industrial PCs SIMATIC IPC427E and IPC477E are equipped with 3 Ethernet interfaces.

Interface X3 is optional, and is not supported by the PCU Base for IPC software.

3.1

Overview

After you have completed the first commissioning of your supported SIMATIC IPC configuration

(Page 19) with PCU Base for IPC you can configure the SIMATIC IPC just the same as a

SINUMERIK PCU.

You can find an example workflow of the first commissioning and configuration in this tabular

overview.

Note

Do not switch off the hardware of SIEMENS PC systems with Windows 10!

Loss of data may result on Windows-based systems if the system is not shut down properly

before it is disconnected from the power source. For technical reasons, data is still being written

to the SSD shortly after shutdown.

To avoid loss of data, use a SITOP UPS module.

See Configuring the SITOP UPS module for use with PCU Base for IPC (Page 52).
