73 Configuring CNC Data Points About Configuring CNC Data Points The CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC QuikStart project, discussed in the "Getting Started" chapter, contains more than 1500 pre-configured points. You can use this project as a starting point for your CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC project configuration. To copy the CNC QuikStart project: 1. Open the CNC QuikStart project in the CIMPLICITY Workbench. 2. Click File on the menu bar and select Copy to Project. The Copy Project to New Project dialog box displays. 3. Type the project name and directory and click Create. CNC Data Types You can use any combination of pre-configured and configured points for each of the following types of CNC data: Axis Position Data (Relative, Absolute, Machine, and Distance-to-Go) PMC "BMI Bits" (G, F, Y, X, A, R, T, K, C, and D) Pitch Error Compensation Data Custom Macro Variable Data P Code Macro Variable Data Active Program Number / Active Program Sequence Number Skip Data Actual Axis Feedrate / Actual Spindle Speed Tool Offset Data Tool Life Management Data Work Zero Offset Data Parameter Data Diagnosis Data GE FANUC GFK-1341G 4-1

74 Floating Point Data All floating point data is actually stored on the CNC in two (2) separate memory locations: A long integer that specifies the value. A short integer that specifies the number of decimal places (for example, the precision). Within CIMPLICITY HMI software, these two integers are converted into a single 8- byte, double precision, floating point number, and stored in a point of type REAL. It is important to note that the nature of floating point data is such that imprecision is likely in the least significant digits. Thus, when dealing with points of type REAL, it is not appropriate to use these points in conditions involving EQUALS or NOT EQUALS. For example, it would not be appropriate to test if real point "A" equals "5", since the exact representation stored in A might be " ". Instead, use the "Less than or equal to" or "Greater than or equal to" operators, as appropriate. 4-2 CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

77 Axis Position Data You can configure points to read Relative, Absolute, Distance-to-Go, or Machine Axis positions. You may not write axis points. When specifying addresses for axis positions, the number following the two-letter prefix specifies the particular axis. For example, DA6 specifies Distance-to-Go axis number 6. Support is provided for obtaining data from up to 8 axes for Series 160/180/210 and up to 24 axes for Series 150/150i. If the current number of controlled axes on your CNC is less than 8, then you will only be able to obtain data for the number of axes you have configured. For example, if your CNC is currently configured for 3 controlled axes, then you may define points for Machine Axis Positions MA1 - MA8. However, only points MA1, MA2, and MA3 will have values. When configuring these points, you must specify the following attributes: Relative Axis Positions Absolute Axis Positions Distance-to-Go Axis Positions Machine Axis Positions Relative Axis Positions Point Class: Type: Access: Series 160/180/210 Valid Addresses: Series 150/150i Valid Addresses: Power Mate i-d Valid Addresses Power Mate H, i-h Valid Addresses Address Offset: ANALOG REAL READ RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, RA5, RA6, RA7, RA8 RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, RA5, RA6, RA7, RA8, RA9, RA10, RA11, RA12, RA13, RA14, RA15, RA16, RA17, RA18, RA19, RA20, RA21, RA22, RA23, RA24 RA1, RA2 RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, RA5, RA6 none GE FANUC GFK-1341G Configuring CNC Data Points 4-5

79 PMC BMI Bits You can configure points to read and write PMC data, frequently referred to as "BMI Bits." This includes G, F, X, Y, R, A, T, K, C, and D BMI Bits. You may configure points which read and write individual bits of data using digital points, or you may access PMC data locations as individual bytes, words (2 bytes), or longwords (4 bytes) of data at a time using CIMPLICITY analog points. When configuring digital points to access bits of data, CIMPLICITY HMI software accesses the memory location as a byte. In order to specify the particular bit, you must set the Address Offset field to a value between 0 and 7, where 0 specifies the least significant bit, and 7 specifies the most significant bit. When configuring analog points to access 1, 2, or 4 bytes of data at a time, you should not set the Address Offset field. The following BMI Bits are discussed: G A F T X K Y C R D Important: Due to the different standards between Motorola and Intel, Series 150 CNC's that use PMC type NA will swap the high and low order bytes of each word. This issue has been resolved in this release. All analog points configured to reference PMC BMI Bits data locations as words (2 bytes) or longwords (4 bytes) are converted as follows: Data Type UINT OR INT UDINT OR DINT Data that looks like this on the CNC Is swapped and looks like this in CIMPLICITY GE FANUC GFK-1341G Configuring CNC Data Points 4-7

104 Work Zero Offset Data You can configure points to read and write entries in the Work Zero Offset table. The total number of work zero offsets you may access depends upon the number you have purchased for your CNC. You may have purchased the following options: Series 160/180 M 0-6, 7-55, work zero offset Series 160/180 T 0-6 work zero offset Series 210 M0 6 work zero offset Series 150/150i 0-6, 7-54 work zero offset Note: For a linear axis, the number of significant digits you can enter before and after the decimal point is a function of the current input unit (for example, millimeters vs. inches). For inches, you may enter up to 4 digits before the decimal point and 4 digits after the decimal point. For example, would be a valid value, but would not. For millimeters, you may enter up to 5 digits before the decimal point and 3 digits after the decimal point. When configuring an array point to access work zero offset data, keep in mind that data is addressed one axis at a time. For example, if you configure an array point with 10 elements, and the address you specify for the point is WZO1A1, then the first element of the array will be for Offset 1, Axis 1. The second element of the array will be for Offset 2, Axis 1, and not Offset 1, Axis 2. Note: The Power Mate and Power Mate i controls do not support the Work Zero Offset table. To configure a point to access work zero offset data, you must specify the following information: Work Zero Offsets Point Class: Type: Access: Valid Addresses: Address Offset: ANALOG REAL READ or READ/WRITE WZOxAy, where x is a valid tool offset number for your CNC, and y is a valid axis number. N/A 4-32 CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

105 Parameter Data You can configure points to read and write parameters in the parameter table. Before configuring a point, you must refer to the Parameter Manual for your control type (Series 15, Series 16 or Power Mate) to determine the following information: Is the CNC parameter a bit, byte, word, longword (2-word) or real (4-word) parameter? Does the CNC parameter contain signed or unsigned data? Does the CNC parameter have data for every axis (an "axis" parameter), or is there just a single value? When configuring points as parameters, be aware of the following restrictions: Points cannot be configured array points for parameters. The default behavior of the CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC product is to check the Parameter Write Enable bit (the "PWE" bit) before writing any parameter data. Thus, if the Parameter Write Enable bit is not set, any setpoints for parameters will fail. You can override the default behavior by forcing CIMPLICITY HMI software to ignore the Parameter Write Enabler bit. See Appendix A for details. In general, most CNC parameters contain "SIGNED" data, so you should use the equivalent signed point type (SINT, INT, or DINT). Valid parameter addresses are 0 16,000. Note: CIMPLICITY HSSB and Ethernet device points for parameter data should be configured as per the appropriate CNC Controller Parameter Manual. After you have determined this information, you may configure points using the following information: Bit Parameters (no axis) Point Class: Type: Access: Valid Addresses: Address Offset: Bit Parameters (with axis) Point Class: Type: Access: Valid Addresses: Address Offset: DIGITAL BOOL READ or READ/WRITE PAx, where x is a valid parameter number for a bit parameter 0-7, depending upon which bit you want to access DIGITAL BOOL READ or READ/WRITE PAxAy, where x is a valid parameter number for a bit parameter, and y is the particular axis number 0-7, depending upon which bit you want to access GE FANUC GFK-1341G Configuring CNC Data Points 4-33

108 Diagnosis Data You can configure points to read diagnosis data. Before configuring a point, you must refer to the Maintenance Manual for your control type (Series 15, Series 16 or Power Mate) to determine the following information: Is the CNC diagnosis a bit, byte, word, longword (2-word) or real (4-word) data? Does the CNC diagnosis contain signed or unsigned data? Does the CNC diagnosis have data for every axis or is there just a single value? When configuring points as diagnosis, be aware of the following restrictions: You may not configure points as array points for diagnosis data. You may not write to diagnosis data. In general, most CNC diagnosis contain "SIGNED" data, so you should use the equivalent signed point type (SINT, INT, or DINT). Valid diagnosis addresses are 0 6,200. Note: CIMPLICITY HSSB and Ethernet device points for diagnosis data should be configured as per the appropriate CNC Controller Maintenance Manual. After you have determined this information, you may configure points using the following information: Bit Diagnosis (no axis) Point Class: Type: Access: Valid Addresses: Address Offset: Bit Diagnosis (with axis) Point Class: Type: Access: Valid Addresses: Address Offset: Byte Diagnosis (no axis) Point Class: Type: Access: Valid Addresses: Address Offset: DIGITAL BOOL READ DNx, where x is a valid diagnosis number for a bit diagnosis 0-7, depending upon which bit you want to access DIGITAL BOOL READ DNxAy, where x is a valid diagnosis number for a bit diagnosis, and y is the particular axis number 0-7, depending upon which bit you want to access ANALOG SINT for signed data; USINT for unsigned data READ DNx, where x is a valid diagnosis number for a byte diagnosis N/A 4-36 CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

114 Tool Group Data You can configure a point to access tool group data, including the: Number of tools in the tool group. Tool life value. Tool group count (number of cuts). Units to be used to increment the count (either Cycles or Minutes). Note: On a Machining CNC (Type M ) using a point, you may write each of these values except for the number of tools in the tool group. On a Lathe CNC (Type T ) using a point, you may only read each of these values. To configure a point to access tool group data, you must specify the following information: Point Class: ANALOG Type: DINT Access: READ/WRITE Valid Addresses: TDGN<X>, where X is the tool group number Number of Elements: 4 Notice that this point is a 4-element array. The elements of this array are as follows: Element 0: The number of tools in the tool group Element 1: The tool life value Element 2: The tool group count (number of cuts) Element 3: The units to be used to increment the counter. A value of 0 indicates Cycles. A value of 1 indicates Minutes. Note: If the first element of the array point, element 0, has a value of 0, this indicates that no tools have been registered in this tool group. If this is the case, then you should not try to set the other elements of this array point CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

115 Individual Tool Data You can configure a point to access individual tool data, including the: Tool number (T-code). Tool length compensation number (H-code). Cutter radius compensation number (D-code). Status of the individual tool (registered, expired, or skipped). Note: On a Machining CNC (Type M ) using a point, you may write each of these values. On a Lathe CNC (Type T ) using a point, you may only read each of these values. Furthermore, the tool length compensation number and the cutter radius compensation number will always have a value of 0, since this data does not apply to a Lathe CNC. To configure a point to access individual tool data, you must specify the following information: Point Class: ANALOG Type: DINT Access: READ/WRITE Valid Addresses: INTD<X>, where X is the tool number Number of Elements: 4 Notice that this point is a 4-element array. The elements of this array are as follows: Element 0: The tool number. With Basic Tool Life Management, this can be a maximum of 4 digits. With Tool Life Management B, this can be a maximum of 8 digits. Element 1: The tool length compensation number (H-code) Element 2: The cutter radius compensation number (D-code) Element 3: The status of the individual tool. A value of 1 indicates that the tool is registered. A value of 2 indicates that the tool is expired. A value of 3 indicates that the tool is skipped. Note: If the first element of the array point, element 0, has a value of 0, this indicates that this tool does not exist. If this is the case, then you should not try to set the other elements of this array point. Also note that there is a special numbering mechanism that is used when configuring the address of individual tool points. Tool groups are assumed to always have 32 tools, even if there aren t 32 tools currently configured. Therefore, the address of the first tool in tool group 1 is INTD1, and the address of the first tool in tool group 2 is INTD33 regardless of the number of tools in tool group 1.

141 Using the Alarm Viewer About the Alarm Viewer and CNC Alarms You can use the Alarm Viewer to view alarms and messages about the state of CNCs in your production facility. When you initially install the HMI for CNC software on your PC, three alarm types are automatically configured and added to the Alarms list. Each of the alarm types is defined in the following sections. The three alarm types are: Alarms, Operator Messages, and Macro Messages. CIMPLICITY Workbench - Configured alarms Click to view Alarms Alarms configured for CNC. You can customize the alarm types to meet production conditions as they arise. You can also add as many alarm, operator and macro messages as you need from the Workbench. For your convenience alarms can also be copied into other projects. See the CIMPLICITY Base System User's Manual, GFK 1180 for details about configuring alarms and using the Alarm Viewer. GE FANUC GFK-1341G 7-1

142 CNC Alarms A CNC Alarm alerts an operator that there is a condition that requires attention. There are several alarm classes, but most commonly an alarm has one of three classes: HIGH Indicates a serious condition that requires immediate attention. MED Indicates a moderate condition that requires attention. LOW Indicates a lesser condition that may require attention. When an alarm condition has occurred on your CNC, the alarm message displays on the Alarm Viewer. Alarms can also be configured on CimEdit graphic screens to quickly alert operators that there is a condition that requires attention. An alarm message typically includes the: Time of the alarm. Current state (ALARM or NORMAL). CNC device name. Alarm message. CNC Alarms in the Alarm Viewer CNC device alarmed & alarm message Alarm status In Alarm state 7-2 CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

143 CNC Operator Messages A CNC Operator Message alerts an operator to a situation that is worth noting. The message can simply be to let the operator know that something is happening, or to remind the operator that an action must be taken. Operator Messages are developed by the Machine Tool Builder and are programmed in CNC Ladder and are generated by setting PMC A Bits. The Alarm Class ID is always MSG, but will still show a state of ALARM in the Alarm Viewer. Once the operator acknowledges the message, the state will display as NORMAL. An operator message typically includes the: Time of the alarm. Current state (ALARM or NORMAL). CNC device name. Operator message. CNC Operator Messages in Alarm Viewer CNC device name & operator message Alarm class In Alarm state GE FANUC GFK-1341G Using the Alarm Viewer 7-3

144 CNC Macro Messages A CNC Macro Message alerts an operator to a situation that is worth noting. The message can simply be to let the operator know that something is happening, or to remind the operator that an action must be taken. Macro Messages are developed by the Machine Tool Builder and are programmed in Macro B or Macro Executor. A macro message typically includes the: Time of the alarm. Current state (ALARM or NORMAL). CNC device name. Macro message. Example of Macro 3000 Messages: Variable Number Function #3000 When a value from 0 to 200 is assigned to variable #3000, the CNC stops with a macro message alarm. After an expression, a macro message can be described by adding #3000 to the alarm message. For example: #3000=1(TOOL NOT FOUND) The alarm screen displays "3001 Tool not found."

233 Appendix A - Overriding Parameter Write Enable Override the Parameter Write Enable Bit The default behavior of the CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC product is to check the Parameter Write Enable bit (the "PWE" bit) before allowing CIMPLICITY HMI software to write any CIMPLICITY HMI points that are configured to access the CNC parameter table. You may override the default behavior and allow CIMPLICITY HMI software to always write to the parameter table. To override parameter write enable bit: 1. Stop your CIMPLICITY HMI project if it is running. 2. In the CIMPLICITY Workbench, expand the Advanced folder in the left pane. 3. Select Project to view the global parameters for your project. Result: The global parameters that exist for your project appear in the Workbench right pane. 4. For both single and dual path controllers, add or change DC_CHECK_PWE to N. 5. For dual path controllers, also add or change DC_CHECK_PWE2 to N. 6. Click in the Workbench to restart your project. 7. Update your project configuration files when prompted. Result: The default behavior is overridden. For more information on adding or changing global parameters, see the Using Global Parameters chapter in the CIMPLCITY HMI User's Manual (GFK_1180).

235 Appendix B - OLE Object Descriptions User Applications Using OLE Objects One of the powerful features of the Basic Operation Package is the ability to strip OLE control objects from the package and insert them into user-developed OLE container applications such as CIMPLICITY CimEdit/CimView screens. BOP BOP Control CIMPLICITY BOP Control All of the following are possible: The user container application can communicate to the OLE objects by using the control methods and control events. The user container can manipulate the control by calling the control methods. The control can communicate to the container by firing its events. GE FANUC GFK-1341G B-1

236 OLE Objects Example The following CimView screen shows the insertion of 7 OLE controls that can be used to view, monitor and manage CNC data. OLE Objects can be: Sized and colored. Manipulated using Basic Control Engine (BCE) scripts that call each of the control's methods. OLECustom.cim Seven FANUC controls embedded in CimView screen for monitoring CNC data. Click to close CimView screen. 2-2 CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

237 OLE Control Methods and Properties DoFunction (method) The screens in the Basic Operation Package (BOP) 1 are OLE objects, which supports the OLE visual editing and prepares the following OLE IDispatch automation interfaces. The screens are normally made as an in-process type OLE server, that is Active X control (OLE control), and you can also use it on Visual Basic, Microsoft Access, etc. You can make the screens as an out-of-process OLE server like Microsoft Excel. However, in this case, the BOP software slows down and you cannot use the soft keys through your keyboard; instead, you must use your pointing device. The OLE controls have the following IDispatch interfaces to support an application: DoFunction (method) Object.FunctionName (property) Object.Path (property) Object.NcOption (property) Object.LcOption (property) Object.BackColor (property) Syntax DoFunction (Index) Parameters This method uses the following parameter: Index The function member to execute for the function name. Remarks The function that is executed depends on the control it is called from.

You can also use the SRAM tab to back up SRAM data, such as part programs, tool offsets, and parameters onto a memory card as a binary image. Use the Setting button to select the Open CNC PC hard drive or an SRAM card as the backup target/source. GE FANUC GFK-1341G Appendix C - Startup Boot and IPL Modes C-3

246 CNC IPL Mode The IPL mode provides access to CNC setup data, CNC file clearing, Option configuration, and server maintenance features. For more information on using these features, see the CNC maintenance manual CNC IPL Menu After you close the above NCBOOT32 displays, the IPL Service menu will appear. This menu allows maintenance personnel to clear and set up the CNC software menus. It also allows access to the IPL (Initial Program Loading) mode. 3-4 CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC Operation Manual July 2001 GFK-1341G

247 Multi-HSSB Card Boot Example If the selected open system consists of multiple CNC systems connected to a single PC via multiple HSSB cards, each CNC can have a boot function window. This enables you to view multiple systems simultaneously. Set the HSSB Rotary Switch to "1" This is the normal setting. The start-up BOOT function displays are not shown, and the operator has no access to Boot or IPL mode. CNC In this mode the CNC will not finish the boot process until NCBOOT32 running on the host PC has connected with the control. Power Mate In this mode the Power Mate will finish the boot process independent of the host PC s condition. Set the HSSB Rotary Switch to "2" The CNC will boot without the Open CNC PC connection. This selection can be used where a CRT/MDI is the primary operator interface and the PC is not always powered up. This switch setting in not supported on the Power Mate.

249 Appendix D - Troubleshooting Resolve Problems After installing the CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC software, perform the verification procedures in Chapter 1. You must be able to communicate successfully by using the 'test_cnc' utility in order to begin collecting and managing CNC data. Below are a number of suggestions for resolving communication problems. To resolve communication problems: 1. Ensure that the Ethernet communication path between the PC and the CNC is working by using the 'ping' command as follows: From the Windows desktop, press Start>Programs>Command Prompt to open an MS DOS window. On the Command line type: Ping 'IP address' of the CNC device. Example: Ping Press Enter. A reply with data indicates that the PC and CNC device are communicating. No response indicates a problem with the connection. PC & CNC device are communicating GE FANUC GFK-1341G D-1

250 PC & CNC device are not communicating Guidelines for using Ping command The Ping command is used to check Ethernet communication between the PC and a CNC device. If you receive a response with data, then the two are communicating. If you do not receive a response, then check with your Network Administrator to ensure that the IP address is not in use by another device, and that the subnet mask is correct for the device. 2. Check to see if any other PC-vendor printed circuit board is using the HSSB assigned I/O address. 3. Check the rotary switch settings on the CNC-based HSSB printed circuit board. The switch should be set to 1 to start up in normal mode. (If you change the setting, remember to cycle CNC power.) 4. Reboot the PC and look at Windows Boot Log or Windows NT System Log for errors that HSSB Driver is installed. 5. Verify that the target CNC has the correct software and the option is enabled. 6. Verify that the green LED located on the HSSB PC printed circuit board is ON after the CNC/ PC boot. This LED is visible from the rear of the PC next to the fiber optic connection. 7. Reboot the PC and CNC after changing any setup configuration data. Get Help For more help, please contact CIMPLICITY Technical Support or your local sales office.
