1 1.4 Cycle support in program editor (SW 4.3 and higher)
1.4.3 Configuring input screen forms for parameter assignment
The SC.COM (Siemens cycles) and UC.COM (user
cycles) files provide the basis for configuring the
input screen form for parameter setting.
The syntax is identical for both files.
Explanation
The following is an example of the cycle header:
Name of help display
Cycle name
Comments
//C6 (CYCLE85) Boring 1
// Header detection for a cycle description
C6 Name of the help display with a p added (C1 – C28 Siemens Cycles)
(CYCLE85) Name of the cycle. This name is also written to the NC program.
Boring 1 Comments (is not evaluated)
Cycle parameterization
(R/0 2/1/Return plane, absolute)[return plane/RTP]
Start (
Variable type R REAL
I INTEGER
C CHARACTER
S STRING
Separator /
Value range Lower limit, blank, upper limit (e.g. 0 2)
Separator /
Default value one value (e. g. 1)
Separator /
Long text is output in the dialog line
End )
Start option [
Short text appears in the parameterization screen form
Separator /

End option ]
Instead of limiting a value range, it is possible to define
individual values by enumeration. These are then
selected for input using the toggle button.
