4.4 Description of blocks 

4.4.1 ShopMill PLC program 

FC30...35 

FC90 



4PLCProgram 


The function blocks FC30...35 control the machine control panel functionality in 

DB82 and the HMI functionality in DB81. 

ShopMill is much more than just an operator interface consisting of screen 

forms and images; in addition, it offers a complete operator system providing the 

user with the necessary functions for each control state. For example, the Shop- 

Mill operation mode “Manual” is not identical to the NCK operating mode “JOG”. 

For example, in order to execute the functions “Zero point Workpiece”, “Measure 

tool”, “Positioning”, etc. in “Manual”, ShopMill switches automatically at NC 

Start to NC operating mode “Automatic” and back again to “JOG” mode at the 

end of the function or at NC Stop. Thus from the operator’s point of view, the 

manual functions are independent of the control operating modes of the NC. 

This functionality, which is continued in the ShopMill “Automatic” mode, is implemented 

at the PCU (ShopMill user interface) and in the PLC (ShopMill PLC program 

FC30). 

The following sample source files are available in the ShopMill library for parameter 

assignment to the ShopMill interface DB82: 

S FC90_MSTT19.AWL (key assignment for MCP19”) 

S FC90_OP32S.AWL (key assignment for MCP of the OP032S) 

Compilation of the above-mentioned STL sources produces the FC90 module. 

FC90 can be called in OB1 in Part 1 of the user program. 

If FC90 is not used, the following signals must be supplied in DB82: 

S DB82 DBB0 (transmission mode for MCP signals) 

S DB82 DBB8 (assignment: spindle/axis data record 4 or 5)

12.01 

The ShopMill PLC program also requires an interface to the PLC program in 

addition to the internal interface to the user interface or to the NC interface. This 

is provided in the ShopMill interface DB82. 

The machine control panel’s signals (ShopMill operating modes Reset, Start, 

Stop, Spindle clockwise/counter-clockwise/off, etc.) must be input into this interface 

by PLC user program part 1. The ShopMill PLC program then carries out 

the relevant actions and returns the current status to DB82. This can then be 

assessed by PLC user program part 2. 

The figure below shows the connections for the active ShopMill PLC program.

4PLCProgram 


When the ShopMill user interface is active, the ShopMill PLC program is also 

activated. This is displayed by the output signal DB82 DBX36.0 

“cmm_plc_activ”=1. The ShopMill interface DB82 must be assigned 

parameters by the user program. The data transfer of the base signals from 

IB0...7/QB0...7 is set via the DB82 DBB0 signal “transfer_base_sig”. The 

default interface signals allocated by the ShopMill PLC program must not be 

overwritten by the user. 

The interlocking/security logic in the PLC user program for the signals DB82 

DBX4.1, “base_sig.nc_cycle_start” and DB82 DBX9.1, “spindle_start” must not 

be implemented directly in the NCK interface but must act on the associated 

input signals in IB0...7 of the MCP. 

In addition, the DB21 DBX7.0 signal “NC start disable” can be activated for an 

invalid start. 

The interlocking signals must be in the PLC user program Part 1 before 

FC19/FC24.

The diagnostics block FC34 is used to monitor the default signals affected by 

the ShopMill PLC program (see Section 4.5 ”Standard interface signals for/from 

ShopMill”). These signals must not be altered by the PLC user program. If 

changes in the signals take place, the diagnostics block indicates this error in its 

circular buffer for error messages (20 entries possible). If a signal is cyclically 

changed, a new entry is conducted in the error message buffer in each PLC 

cycle. This function is activated via the data block DB82 DBX60.0. 

DBX60.0 = 1 (monitor_on) 

DBX60.1 = 1 (monitor_initialize) 

DBX60.0 = 1 (monitor_on) 

DBX60.1 = 0 (monitor_initialize)

The “Simulation active” signal is set in ShopMill as well as on the CNC standard 

operator interface. This signal can be used, for example, in the user PLC to suppress 

inhibition of operating mode changes to allow the simulation routine to run 

under ShopMill. (An operating mode changeover takes place in the ShopMill 

PLC when the simulation run starts.)

Operating 

sequence 

In ShopMill the tool change is initiated by a tool-changing cycle. This cycle is 

called by the ShopMill cycles where a tool can be programmed. 

The ShopMill tool change cycle performs the following tasks: 

1. Deactivate compensation of the active tool 

2. Select new tool 

(from the programmed cycle screen) 

3. Call tool change cycle L6 

Note: Tool change cycle L6 is called with M6. 

4. Output of tool-specific functions depending on the setting in the 

relevant column of the tool table 

S Number of teeth 

S M3/M4/M5 from column “Spindle right/left/off” 

S M7 from the “Coolant 1 on/off” column 

S M8 from the “Coolant 2 on/off” column 

S Tool-specific M functions 1...4 from the columns 

“Tool-spec. fct. 1”, “Tool- spec. fct. 2”, “Tool-spec. fct. 3”, 

“Tool-spec. fct. 4” 

5. Select tool edge D1 or D2 

(tool edge number from programmed cycle screen) 

6. Preselect next tool 

(is automatically entered by the ShopMill programming) 

Fig. 8-1 ShopMill tool change cycle 

Note 

The tool-specific functions (number of teeth, spindle, coolant, M functions) are 

stored in cutting edge parameter 25 ($TC_DP25).

8.1 Tool-changing cycle adapting to the machine 


General 

Example 

8-90 

12.01 

You need to create a tool change cycle, e.g. L6, for the machine-specific parts 

of the tool change. 

Example L6.SPF in the toolbox shows how to do this. This example requires: 

S MD 22550 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_MODE=1 

Tool is changed via an M function. 

S MD 10715 $MN_M_NO_FCT_CYCLE[0]=6 

M function (M6) used to call the tool change, i.e. the subroutine assigned via 

MD 10716 $MN_M_NO_FCT_CYCLE_NAME[0]. 

S MD 10716 $MN_M_NO_FCT_CYCLE_NAME[0]=”L6” 

Name of the subroutine (L6) to be executed after the M function defined in 

MD 10715. 

If the subroutine name is to be entered by means of program or MDI, the 

name must be enclosed in quotation marks. This does not apply to manual 

inputs. 

S MD 22560 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_M_CODE=206 

M function (M206) with which the tool change is defined for the tool management. 

The machine data specified above can be found in the tool box in machine data 

set CMM.8X0.

8.2 Manual tools 

8-92 

12.01 

Manual tools are tools which are required during machining, but are only available 

in the tool list but not in the tool-holding magazine. These tools must be attached/detached 

manually to/from the spindle. 

Machine data 22562 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE, bit1=1, 

can be set to allow tools without a magazine location assignment to be selected 

for tool changes. 

An alarm is output every time the manual tool is loaded, unloaded or replaced. 

(E.g. “Channel 1, manual tool mill20, duplo no. 1 load to toolholder 1.” i.e. the 

manual tool mill20 must be attached to the spindle.) 

Manual tools are identified by magazine location 1 in magazine 9999 in the interface 

to the PLC. Bit5 in DB72 DBB (n+0) is set to load the tool and bit6 to 

unload it.

record for ShopMill. 

References: /FBW/, Description of Functions Tool Management 

Data storage and management is carried out in the NC. All data can be read 

and written manually, via the NC program or by data transfer. 

Operation is performed via system displays. 

Tool management enables you to call the tool by name, e.g. “Mill 120 mm”. 

The tool call is still possible via the T No. (tool number). The T No. is then the 

name of the tool. 

Separate PLC modules are available for tool management to handle the communication 

between NC and PLC. 

A maximum of 250 tools can be set up on the PCU 20; on the PCU 50, the maximum 

number of tools is limited by MD 18082 $MN_MM_NUM_TOOL. 

A total of 98 replacement tools can be set up for each tool. 

Chain and disk-type magazines can be managed. The maximum number of 

magazines is set in the NC.

Display MD 9672 $MM_CMM_FIXED_TOOL_PLACE determines whether all 

tools have a fixed or variable location coding. 

12.01 

S Fixed assignment (MD 9672, value 1) means that the tool is permanently 

assigned to a magazine location. This concept can be used for machines 

with disk-type magazine. 

S For variable location assignment (MD 9672, value 0), a tool with a tool number 

or tool name can be returned to a different magazine location from its 

original one. This concept can be used for machines with chain magazine. 

You can set individual tools to “fixed-location-coded” in the operator interface 

(tool wear). 

Magazine locations can be disabled, e.g. for oversized tools occupying adjacent 

magazine locations. 

The tool management system includes a tool monitoring function based on tool 

edges that monitors according to tool life or tool loading operations. Replacement 

tools (sister tools) are distinguished by their Duplo No. (DP). Display 

MD 9652 $MM_CMM_TOOL_LIFE_CONTROL can be set to deactivate the tool 

monitoring function. 

Setting 2 of display MD 9651 $MM_CMM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT can be selected 

to set the tool management function without a Load/Unload softkey. 

Setting 4 of display MD 9651 $MM_CMM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT can be selected 

to set the tool management function with a Load/Unload softkey. 

Loading brings the tool to its magazine location. 

Unloading removes the tool from the magazine. 

Tools can be sorted in the tool and tool wear lists according to magazine location, 

name and type. 

Manual tools are tools that are stored in the tool list but not in the magazine. 

These tools must be attached/detached manually to/from the spindle.

9.2.2 Entering the NC machine data for tool management 

Machine data for 

memory setting 

Example 

Machine data for the memory setting and activation of the management function 

must be set. 

Memory space must be made available in the battery-backed RAM for the tool 

management. 

The following machine data must be set: 

MD 18080 Activate the memory for tool management 

MD 18082 Number of tools to be managed by the NCK 

MD 18084 Number of magazines the NCK can manage (min. 3) 

Include the buffer and loading magazines! 

MD 18086 Number of magazine locations that the NCK can manage; 

Include 3 buffer locations (2 grippers and 1 spindle) and 

2 load points! 

MD 18100 Number of cutting edges in the NCK 

Note 

ShopMill manages 2 cutting edges per tool. It is therefore expedient to limit the 

number of edges to 2. Program the number of edges in MD 18105 

MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO. 

Allocation of machine data when a dual gripper is used so that manual tools can 

be used event when the magazine is fully allocated: 

18082=40; 40 tools (30 magazine locations + 10 additional locations for 

manual tools) 

18084=3; 1 magazine + 1 buffer magazine + 1 load magazines 

18086=35; 30 magazine slots + 3 buffer memory + 2 load points 

18100=80; 80 edges 

Note 

The machine data settings serve only to reserve memory; locations are not 

assigned to the magazine, etc. until the configuration file is set up and loaded 

(see Subsection 9.2.4 “Creating and loading the configuration file”). 

Modifying the “memory-influencing” machine data reformats the battery-backed 

RAM. The data must therefore be backed up beforehand.

Bit5=0: The master spindle main run continues after command output to the PLC. 

Bit6=1: The secondary spindle main run can be stopped within one OB1 cycle 

(e.g. by read-in stop) after output of a tool command. 


12.01 



12.01 






Meaning: Bit7=1: The master spindle main run is stopped until acknowledgement via FC7, FC8 

with status 1... . 


Bit8=1: The secondary spindle main run is stopped until acknowledgement via FC7, 

FC8withstatus1. 

Bit8=0: The secondary spindle main run continues after command output to the PLC. 

Bit9: ReservedBit10=1: M06 is delayed until the tool change has been prepared 

via FC8 (status 1...) by the PLC. 

The change signal (e.g. M06) is not output until the tool selection 

(DBX [ n+0 ].2) is acknowledged. The parts program is stopped until the 

T selection is acknowledged. 

Bit10=0: The tool change ON command is not output from NCK -> PLC until the 

PLC preparation acknowledgement has been received. 

This acknowledgement is relevant for PLC command 3 (i.e. programming of 

M06 in a block that does not contain a T). 

Bit11=1: The preparatory command is also output even if it has already been output 

once for the same tool. 

This is useful for positioning the chain when ‘’Tx‘’ is called for the first time 

and checking whether the tool is located in the correct change position (e.g. 

in front of the change station). 

Bit11=0: The preparatory command can be output only once for each tool. 

Bit12=1: The preparatory command is also carried out even if the tool is already in 

the spindle. 

This means that the T selection signal (DB72.DBXn.2) is set even if it has 

already been set for the same tool. 

(Tx...Tx) 

Bit12=0: The preparatory command is not executed if thetool 

is already mounted in the spindle. 

Bit13=1: Only on systems with sufficient memory capacity. Recording of tool sequences 

in a diagnostics buffer. 

On Reset the commands from the diagnostics buffer are stored in the passive 

file system (NCATR xx.MPF under parts program). 

This file is required by the Hotline. 

Tool sequences are recorded in the diagnostics buffer only on systems with 

sufficient memory capacity (NCU572, NCU573). 

Bit14=1: An automatic tool change takes place in response to Reset and Start 

according to settings in the following machine data 

20120 MD20120 TOOL_RESET_NAME 

20110 MD20110 RESET_MODE_MASK 

20124 MD20124 TOOL_MANAGEMENT_TOOLHOLDER. 

If the tool defined in TOOL_RESET_NAME must be loaded (set via 

RESET_MODE_MASK), a selection and tool change command are output to 

the user interface (DB72) with RESET or START. 

If RESET_MODE_MASK is set to leave the active tool in the spindle, and if the 

active tool is disabled in the spindle (by user), a change command for a 

replacement tool is output to the user interface. If no replacement tool is 

available, an error message is output. 

Bit14=0: No automatic tool change takes place in response to RESET and START. 

Bit15=1: The tool is not returned if several preparatory commands are output (Tx ->Tx). 

This mode of function activation permits a variety of function combinations. 

Example for default activation of the tool management: 

MD 20310 TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK = 3 (Bit0 + 1 = 1) 

Bit16=1: T location number is active 

Bit15=0: The tool is not returned. 

Bit16=1: T location number is active 

Bit17=1: Tool life decrementation can be started/stopped via the PLC in channel 

DB 2.1...DBx 1.3. 

Bit18=1: Activation of monitoring function “last tool in tool group”. 

Bit18=0: No monitoring for “last tool in tool group” 

Bit19=1: Activation for bits 5...8 

Bit19=0: The functions described under bits 5...8 are not available. 

9-109


9-110 

12.01 



Meaning: Bit20=0: The generated commands are not output to the PLC in response to PLC signal 

“Program testing active”. The NCK acknowledges the commands itself. 

Magazine and tool data are not changed. Exception: The tool status of 

the tool activated in the test area can change to “active”. 

Bit20=1: The generated commands are output to the PLC in response to PLC signal 

“Program testing active”. Depending on the type of PLC acknowledgement, 

tool/magazine data in the NCK can be altered at the same time. If the 

acknowledgement parameters for the target magazine are set to the same 

values as the source magazine, the tool is not transported and thus no data 

modified in the NCK. Exception: The tool status of the tool activated in the test 

area can change to “active”. 

Bit21=0: Ignore tool status “W” when selecting a tool. 

Bit21=1: Tools with “W” status cannot be selected by another tool change, tool 

preparatory command. 

20320 

TOOL_TIME_MONITOR_MASK 

MD number 

Activation of life time monitoring for the spindle specified here 

Default setting: 1/2 Min. input limit: 1 Max. input limit: 4 



Meaning: Value = 1: Monitoring is carried out for spindle 1. 

Value = 2: Monitoring is carried out for spindle 1 and spindle 2. 


22550 

TOOL_CHANGE_MODE 

MD number 

New tool offset for M function 



Data type: BYTE Valid as of software version: 1.1 

Meaning: A tool is selected in the program with the T function. Whether the new tool is changed 

immediately with the T function depends on the setting in this MD: 

MD = 0 

The new tool is changed immediately with the T function. This setting is used mainly for 

turning machines with tool revolver. 

MD = 1 

The new tool is prepared for changing with the T function. This setting is mainly used on 

milling machines with tool magazine to move the new tool to the tool change position in 

parallel with machining (i.e. machining operation is not interrupted). 

The old tool is removed from the spindle and the new tool loaded to it by means of the M 

function entered in the MD. According to DIN 66025, this tool change must be 

programmed with the M function M06. 

Corresponding to ... MD 22560 TOOL_CHANGE_M_CODE 

Further references: Description of Functions: Coordinate Systems (K2) 



12.01 




22560 TOOL_CHANGE_M_CODE 

MD number M function for tool change 

Default setting: 6 Min. input limit: 0 Max. input limit: 9999 9999 

Change takes effect after POWER ON Protection level: 2/4 Unit: - 


Meaning: If the T function is used only to prepare a new tool for tool change (for milling machines with 

tool magazine, this setting is mainly used to bring the new tool to the tool change position in 

parallel with the machining time), the tool change must be initiated with a further M function. 

The M function entered in the MD initiates the tool change (remove old tool from the spindle 

and load the new tool in the spindle). According to DIN 66025, this tool change must be 

programmed with the M function M06. 

Corresponding to... MD 22550 TOOL_CHANGE_MODE 

Further references: Description of Functions: Tool Offset (W1) 

22562 TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE 

MD number Error reaction with programmed tool change 


Change takes effect after POWER ON Protection level: 2/4 Unit: - 


Meaning: If MD 22550 is set to 0, the default setting of MD 22562 should not be altered. 

Bit0=0: Standard response: 

The program stops in the NC block containing the error. 

Bit0=1: If the error occurs in the block containing the tool change preparation command, 

the alarm activated by the preparation command (T) is ignored until the program 

run reaches the point at which the associated tool change command (M06) is 

interpreted. 

The alarm activated by the preparation command is not output until this moment. 

The user cannot therefore make any corrections until this program block is 

reached. 

Bit1=0: With active tool management only: 

In preparing tool changes, the NCK detects only tools with data assigned to a 

magazine. 

Bit1=1: With active tool management only: 

The NCK also loads a tool whose data are stored in the NCK, but to which no 

magazine is assigned. 

In this case, the NCK attempts to assign the tool data to the programmed spindle 

location automatically. 

If several usable tools are available, another search is started for an active tool. 

If no active tool can be found, the tool with the lowest duplo number is selected. 

Bit2=0 Active D no. > 0 and active T no. = 0 equals an offset of zero 

Active DL no. > 0 and active D no. = 0 equals a total offset of zero 

Bit2=1 Active D no. > 0 and active T no. = 0 generates an alarm message 

Active DL no. > 0 and active D no. = 0 generates an alarm message

9.2.4 Creating and loading the configuration file 

Examples 

9-112 

12.01 

To start up the tool management function, you must create a configuration file 

and load it to the NC. 

Create a new configuration file with the system variables for the tool management 

definition or adapt the examples from the toolbox. 

Note 

With the PCU 50, you can also set up the configuration file on the CNC ISO 

operator interface. 

References: /FBW/, Description of Functions Tool Management 

The configuration file must include the following settings: 

S Define the type of search strategy 

S Define the real magazine 

S Define buffer magazine 

S Define load magazine 

S Define locations for the real magazine 

S Define locations for the buffer magazine 

S Define the spindle assignment 

S Define the locations for the load magazine 

S Define the distances for the real magazine 

Load the configuration file to the NC. 

The following examples can be found in tools\sd in the toolbox: 

S TM_WO_GR.8X0 (configuration without dual gripper) with the following contents: 

-- 1 real magazine with 30 locations 

-- 1 spindle 

-- 2 load points 

S TM_W_GR.8X0 (configuration with dual gripper) with the following contents: 

-- 1 real magazine with 30 locations 

-- 1 spindle 

-- 2 grippers 

-- 2 load points 

If necessary, adapt the configuration files in the lines typed in bold print.

FC6 supplies data blocks DB71/72 with the information for the new and old 

tools. FC6 is called by the basic program and need not be called again in the 

user program. 

So that the tool management always knows where the current tool is located, 

each location change must be notified to the tool management via FC8 (transfer 

block). FC8 (transfer block) is called by the user program (FB110). 

The data blocks DB71/72 and 74 are set up automatically. The lengths of the 

data blocks are determined by the parameters for the tool management in DB4. 

These are written by the user program (FC100).

S PCU start-up is carried out and the connection set up to the NC. 

S NCK start-up is carried out with the NC machine data for ShopMill. 

S The standard basic program is loaded. 

S Adapt one of the following source files and compile it: 

-- TM_WO_GR.AWL (data transfer without dual gripper) 

-- TM_W_GR.AWL (data transfer with dual gripper) 

12.01 

Source files TM_WO_GR.AWL and TM_W_GR.AWL contain the following 

blocks 

-- FC100 (block for tool management configuration) 

-- FB110, DB110 (blocks for data transfer in tool management) 

The blocks for transferring tool management data (FB110, DB110) must be 

adapted to suit the individual machine. 

S Call the blocks in OB1 and OB100: 

-- Call FC100 in OB100 (before FB1) 

-- CallFB110inOB1(afterFC30) 

The specified call sequence for these blocks is mandatory. 

S Load the blocks to the PLC 

Note 

Tool management start-up in the PLC is carried out in conjunction with ShopMill 

start-up.

Data transfer 

without dual gripper 




Two STL sources are available for tool management in the ShopMill library: 

S TM_WO_GR.AWL (data transfer without dual gripper) with contents 

-- FC100 (tool management configuration) 

-- FB110 (data transfer for tool management in standard mode) 

S TM_W_GR.AWL (data transfer with dual gripper) with contents 

-- FC100 (tool management configuration) 

-- FB110 (data transfer for tool management in standard mode) 

The block for configuration of the tool management (FC 100) is identical in both 

STL sources. The block for data transfer for tool management in standard mode 

(FB110) is different in both STL sources. 

Block FC100 transfers the configuration data of the tool management to DB4 

and must be called in OB100. 

The configuration data are preset for 2 load points (DB71) and one spindle 

(DB72). 

The “Real MagLoc” parameter of FC100 (number of locations of the real magazine) 

must be supplied when FC100 is called so that FC22 (direction selection) 

canbeused. 

Block FB110 controls the data transfer for tool management in standard mode. 

This block must be called in OB1. Data module DB110 (instance DB) must be 

loaded. 

The block includes the following functions: 

S Acknowledge load/unload/relocate for 1st load point 

S Acknowledge load/unload for 1st load point 

S Acknowledge prepare/change for 1st spindle 

S Abort, i.e. negative acknowledgment for the above-mentioned functions 

The acknowledgment for this function can be enabled by the PLC via the input 

parameter of FB110, e.g. load/unload via customer key (see table below for 

input parameters). 

FB110 from the AWL source TM_WO_GR.AWL may be used for data transfer 

without dual gripper. 

Tool change from the magazine to the spindle is carried out in one step here. 

The tool magazine is changed directly into the spindle.

9ToolManagement 9.5 Configuring the operator interface 

9.5 Configuring the operator interface 

9-136 

12.01 

There are 2 ways in which you can modify the existing tool management operator 

interface: 

9.5.1 To modify the standard lists 

S You can configure the parameters variably as a function of tool in the lists 

provided. 

S You can configure your own lists in addition to the standard lists. 

You can make the following changes in the standard lists: 

S Change a particular column for all tools. 

S Change a particular column for a particular tool. 

S Define different columns for each tool. 

You must store every change to the list default settings in configuration file 

to_mill.ini. 

An example of this is given on the application diskette for the PCU 20. You can 

adapt this example and then install it with the ShopMill software. 

For the PCU 50, you will find an example in directory ADD_ON after you have 

installed ShopMill. You can also adapt this and then store it in directory OEM. 

The configuration file will be evaluated only if you set bit 6 in MD 9478 

$MM_TO_OPTION_MASK. 

Note 

You need only define settings which deviate from the default in the 

configuration file. 

In this regard, please note the following: 

S You can define up to 13 columns after the ”DP number” column. 

S Define the edge parameters, i.e. length, radius and angle in successive 

columns. 

S Define either edge parameters or tool parameters, but not both, in one 

column. (Tool parameters are all parameters which are not edge parameters.) 



12.01 

Syntax 



9.5 Configuring the operator interface 

The following syntax rules applies to entries in the configuration file (see also 

example at end of this section): 

First specify the tool management list in which you wish to make changes. 

[SCREEN_ID] 

SCREEN_ID: Tool management list 

Next, define the changes themselves: 

S Change a particular column for all tools: 

COLUMNx=CONTENT_ID 

COLUMN: Column command 

x: Column number, max. 13 

CONTENT_ID: Parameter or property of tool 

S Change a particular column for a particular tool: 

TOOL_ID= x=CONTENT_ID 

TOOL_ID: Tool type 

S Define different columns for each: 

TOOL_ID = CONTENT_ID / CONTENT_ID / ... 

TOOL_ID = CONTENT_ID / CONTENT_ID / ... 

... 

Note 

9Tool Management 

The parameters or properties of a tool are listed consecutively on the basis 

of a CONTENT_ID and separated from one another by an oblique symbol 

“/”. Even if you want to use the default setting for individual columns, you 

must still enter the oblique symbol. 

If, for example, you want to change only the last columns, enter the number 

(x) of the first column that you wish to alter and then list the appropriate 

CONTENT_ID for the following columns. 

TOOL_ID = x = CONTENT_ID / CONTENT_ID / .. 

Using the COLUMN command, you can first define one column identically for 

all tools and then adapt it specifically for individual tools. 

You can identify comments by a semicolon (;) symbol. 

If errors occur as the configuration file is being evaluated, you will find a description 

of the error in file to_ini_f.c om in directory ”Temp”.

9.5.2 Defining an additional list 

Define the list 

Define texts 

9-140 

12.01 

You can define another list, configured by yourself, on the 3rd horizontal softkey 

on the tool management operator interface. You can use the parameters from 

the standard lists as well as 6 user-defined parameters in this customized list. (If 

you use customized parameters in this extra list, you will also be able to use 

them in the standard lists.) 

You must activate the list by setting bit 2 of display MD 9478 $MM_TO_OP- 

TION_MASK. 

You must also set MD 18094 $MN_MM_NUM_CCTDA_PARAM to 8. 

Note 

Once you have set the two machine data above, you can call a sample list with 

2 user-defined parameters by selecting the 3rd horizontal softkey on the tool 

management user interface. 

Instructions on how to define the customized list can be found in Subsection 

9.5.1 “To modify the standard lists”. All these instructions apply equally to customized 

lists. 

The SCREEN_ID for the customized list is as follows: 

Table 9-8 SCREEN_ID 

SCREEN_ID Tool management list 

TOOL_LIST_OEM Additional list 

User-defined parameters have the following CONTENT_ID: 



TPC1 Parameter 1 






You assign the texts (softkey name, customized list header, name and associated 

cursor text of user-defined parameters) in a text file using special text numbers. 



12.01 

PCU 20 

The relevant syntax is: 

[text number] 0 0 “[text]” 






The parameter name can comprise 3 lines, each line with its own text number 

(see Table 9-10). 


Text type Text number 

3rd horizontal softkey 89923 

List header 89924 

Name of parameter TPC1 89925, 89926, 89927 

Cursor text of parameter TPC1 89930 











Example: 

89924 0 0 ”Tool data” 

The maximum permissible number of characters for the different text types are 

as follows: 

Softkey: 9 

Header: 20 

Parameter: 7 

Cursor text: 45 

A line break in the softkey text can be made by inserting two consecutive 

blanks. 

Note 

Some texts are already set to defaults which you can change. 

For the PCU 20 enter the texts and numbers in text file “aluc.txt”. A “aluc.txt” text 

file is stored in every language directory. 

9-141


PCU 50 

9-142 

12.01 

For the PCU 50 enter the texts and numbers in text file 

C:\dh\cus.dir\aluc_xx.com. The file “aluc_xx.com” may have to be created in the 

directory “cus.dir”. 

The text language is assigned via the name of the text file. “xx” is replaced by 

one of the following abbreviations in the text file name:

Measuring Cycles 

10.1 Brief description 

Overview You can use measuring cycles for automatic measuring on vertical machining 

centers and universal milling machines with ShopMill. 

Measuring cycles 

For this you need to connect a touch trigger probe to the control. 

The measuring cycles are shipped with ShopMill and contained in the ShopMill 

Toolbox. 

You need to adapt the measuring cycle data to the actual conditions of the 

machine and make an initial assignment.

Access Protection via Password and 

Keyswitch 

12.1 General 

Access rights 

Table 12-1 Access protection 

User access to programs, data and functions is restricted on the basis of 

8 hierarchical protection levels. These are divided into (see Table 12-1): 

S 4 password levels for Siemens, machine manufacturers and end users and 

S 4 keyswitch settings for end users 

A multi-level safety system for controlling access rights is thus provided.

12-162 

S Protection level 0 offers the highest access authorization and protection 

level 7 the lowest. 

12.01 

S If a particular access right is assigned to a protection level, then the same 

right will be automatically available on all higher protection levels. 

S By the same token, an access right for a particular protection level can only 

be changed from a higher protection level. 

S The access rights on protection levels 0 to 3 are set as Siemens defaults. 

S Access authorization is set through scanning of the current keyswitch 

position and a comparison of password entries. In this case, a password 

entry overwrites the access rights associated with the keyswitch position. 

S Options can be saved on all protection levels, but option data can only be 

input on protection levels 0 and 1. 

S The access rights for protection levels 4 to 7 are merely suggested settings 

and can be altered by the machine manufacturer or end user.

12.2 Password 

The passwords for the 4 available password levels with their respective

selection of softkey SET PASSWORD. 

References: /BA/, “Operator’s Guide” 

Please note that a password remains valid until the access authorization 

is intentionally reset again by means of softkey DELETE PASSWORD. 

In other words, the access authorization is not automatically deleted by a 

POWER ON! 

Up to 8 characters can be used in the password. We recommend that you 

restrict yourself to the character set of the operator panel in selecting a password. 

In passwords with less than 8 characters, the remaining characters are 

interpreted as blanks. 

The following default passwords are defined for protection levels 1 to 3: 

Protection level 1 SUNRISE 

Protection level 2 EVENING 

Protection level 3 CUSTOMER 

Note 

These passwords are entered as the defaults on system power-up in start-up 

mode (NCK start-up switch in position 1). 

The default passwords should be changed in order to guarantee reliable access 

protection.

12-164 

12.01 

The keyswitch on the SINUMERIK 840D/810D or SINUMERIK FM-NC has 

4 positions to which protection levels 4 to 7 are assigned. The keyswitch is operated 

by 3 colored keys that can be removed from the lock in different positions 

(see Table 12-2). Functions can be assigned to the key positions by the machine 

manufacturer or end user. Access to programs, data and functions can be 

set user-specifically in machine data (see Section 12.4 ” Machine data for protection 

levels”). 

The keyswitch positions are transferred to the PLC interface (interface signals 

“Keyswitch positions 0 to 3” (DB10, DBX56.4 to 7)) for evaluation by the PLC 

user program. 

Keyswitch position 0 has access rights of the lowest priority and position 3 access 

rights of the highest priority. For example, all data which can be changed in 

positions 0, 1 or 2, can also be changed in keyswitch position 3. 

The keyswitch can be used to inhibit access to certain data areas. This protective 

function can be used, for example, to prevent the operator from making unintentional 

changes to geometry data (e.g. zero offsets) or activating program 

controls (e.g. selection of dry run feedrate). 

Table 12-2 Keyswitch positions 0 to 3

The PLC interface signals (“Keyswitch positions 0 to 3”) can be input either 

directly via the keyswitch on the machine control panel or by the PLC user program. 

Only one interface signal may be set at a time. If several interface signals 

are set simultaneously, keyswitch position 3 is activated internally in the control. 



12.01 

12.4 Machine data for protection levels 

Lockable 

data areas 

Default setting 





The machine manufacturer or end user can set MMC machine data to assign 

the appropriate protection levels to individual functions and data areas. For a 

number of data types, it is possible to input different protection levels for read 

and write access authority. 

The machine data which can be “locked” by means of protection levels in 

ShopMill are listed below: 

Operator panel machine data Access to 

9182 USER_CLASS_INCH_METRIC Inch/metric switchover 

9200 USER_CLASS_READ_TOA Read tool offsets 

9201 USER_CLASS_WRITE_TOA_GEO Write tool geometry 

(including type and tool edge) 

9202 USER_CLASS_WRITE_TOA_WEAR Write tool wear (without 

limit value) 

9210 USER_CLASS_WRITE_ZOA Write settable zero 

offsets 

9215 USER_CLASS_WRITE_SEA Write setting data 

9217 USER_CLASS_WRITE_PROGRAM Write/edit part programs 

9218 USER_CLASS_SELECT_PROGRAM Enable program selection 

9222 USER_CLASS_WRITE_RPA Write R parameters 

9252 USER_CLASS_TM_SKTOOLLOAD Enable tool load 

9253 USER_CLASS_TM_SKTOOLUNLOAD Enable tool unload 

9258 USER_CLASS_TM_SKNCNEWTOOL Enable create a new tool 

9259 USER_CLASS_TM_SKNCDELTOOL Enable delete a tool 

These machine data are assigned protection level 7 per default during the standard 

start-up procedure. All these data areas and functions can thus be 

accessed and altered in keyswitch position 0. 

The protection level defaults may need to be changed by the machine manufacturer 

or end user. They can also be set to protection levels 0 to 3.

Access softkeys 

Screen form 

position 





Using the “Expand the Operator Interface” tools, you can create your own user 

forms representing specific functional expansions (e.g. your own cycles and 

measuring cycles) or simply create your own screen form layout. 

References: /IAM/, HMI Installation and Start-Up Guide, BE1 Expand the 

Operator Interface 

Cycles generated using the “Expand the Operator Interface” function can be 

displayed and edited in the machining plan, but not represented as a programming 

graphic. 

You can call your own screen forms by means of the following access softkeys: 

Machine Manual basic display: Horizontal softkey 8 

Machine Auto basic display: Horizontal softkey 6 

Messages/alarms basic display: Horizontal softkeys 7 and 8 

Tools/zero offsets basic display: Horizontal softkey 7 

Note 

If you assign one of your own cycles to horizontal softkey 8 in the Machine 

Manual basic display, the generated NC code is collected and you can then 

start the cycle with ”Cycle Start”. 

You can call your own cycles by means of the following access softkeys: 

Program basic display: Drilling: Vertical softkey 6 

Milling: Vertical softkey 6 

Miscellaneous: Vertical softkey 4 

When you program a cycle, it is subsequently transferred to the ShopMill program. 

You can use the following entry softkeys to reveal your own measuring cycles, 

which are to replace the ShopMill measuring cycles: 

Basic display manual: Zero point workpiece: Vertical softkeys 1 to 7 

Measure tool: Vertical softkeys 1 to 7 

Program basic display: Miscellaneous: 

Zero point workpiece: Vertical softkeys 1 to 7 

Measure tool: Vertical softkeys 1 to 7 

If you wish to display your user screen forms/cycles instead of the machining 

plan or programming graphic, you must enter the following for screen form property 

“Dimension”: 

Distance from left: 33 

Distance from top: 52 

Width: 525 

Height: 378

13-169



13.2.1 Linking user-configured cycles into the machining plan 

Example 

13-170 

12.01 

If you wish to link user-configured cycles to existing program steps in the machining 

plan, it is essential that you configure the variables described below. 

You must first define three variables which are not assigned until the program 

step is inserted in the machining plan, i.e. the attribute must be assigned invisibly 

(wr0) to the input field of each variable. The variable sequence is as follows: 

1. Variable for the next tool, data type String (S) 

2. Variable for the position identifier in objects, data type Integer 

3. Variable for the sequencer text to be displayed later in the ShopMill machining 

plan, data type String (S). 

A value is best assigned to this variable in a LOAD method. 

Two variables for cycles processing must also be defined as well as one variable 

for each toggle field which has a different display content on the interface 

(e.g. mm/rev) than the internally transferred quantity (e.g. 1). 

These variables do not have their own input field, i.e. the attribute must also be 

assigned invisibly (wr0). The placement of the variables is optional. 

Note 

When an OUTPUT method is used, all variables described above must be 

configured within this method so that they can all be interpreted on 

recompilation. 

The toolbox contains a sample cycle named E_DR_O1.SPF. The associated 

operator interface is configured in file E_DR_O1.COM. The German and 

English texts are stored in files E_DR_TXD.COM and E_DR_TXE.COM respectively. 

For information about installing the cycle, please refer to file readme.txt. 



12.01 

13.2.2 Incorporating own measuring cycles 

Example 





When configuring your own measuring cycles, the vertical softkey 8 (VSK8) is 

assigned a special meaning in the new cycles mask. All actions that the new 

measuring cycle are to perform when the “NC Start” key is pressed must be 

defined in a PRESS method for VSK8. If the “NC Start” key is pressed, NC code 

is generated, and written to a program where it is processed; i.e. the function 

Generate Code (GC) must be programmed in the PRESS method for VSK8 if 

necessary. This, in turn means that an OUTPUT method must be defined. 

Note 

The VSK8 must not be pressed by the operator but is triggered internally when 

the “NC Start” key is pressed. It should therefore not be labeled. 

The toolbox contains a sample measuring cycle named E_DR_O1.SPF. The 

associated operator interface is configured in file E_DR_O1.COM. The German 

and English texts are stored in files E_MS_TXD.COM and E_MS_TXE.COM 

respectively. 

For information about installing the cycle, please refer to file readme.txt.

Note 

MD 24100 must always be set to 512 in the 1st data set and MD 24200 to 513 

in the 2nd data set. 



12.01 

Enable cylinder 

surface transformation 





The “Enable cylinder surface transformation” function is displayed on the Shop- 

Mill operator interface when display MD 9721 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_TRACYL 

is set to 1. The rotary axis involved in the cylinder surface transformation is displayed 

and programmed via display MD 9653 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_A_AXIS or 

9720 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_B_AXIS. 

13-175


13.4 Swivel heads and tables 


Alarms 

13-176 

12.01 

Swivel heads and tables are employed to create or machine oblique surfaces. 

Display MD 9723 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_SWIVELLING_HEAD is set to enable 

the swiveling function. 

You must set up a swivel data set for every swivel head, swivel table or combination 

of both. 

You can define swivel data sets using softkey ”Swivel cycle” in the ”Start-up” 

operating area on the CNC-ISO operator interface. For further details, see: 

References: /PGZ/, Programming Guide Cycles. 

When the swivel head/table is set manually, alarms displaying the required angle 

are output: 

62180 Set both axes manually 

62181 Set one axis manually 

With a Hirth tooth system, the corresponding rotary axes can only assume certain 

positions (angle grid > 0). If the programming demands a position that deviates 

from the angle grid, the machine automatically sets the next closest position 

and outputs an alarm. 

112328 Angle adjusted to angle grid 

How the alarm must be acknowledged can be set in swivel cycle TOOLCARR. 

An alarm is output if the swivel head/table must be set to an angle outside the 

permissible angular range in order to machine the workpiece: 

61184 Machining not possible with current angle values 

The programmed machining operation cannot be performed with the existing 

swivel head/table. 

ShopMill generates one of the following alarms when you manually load/unload 

or replace swivel heads: 

112323 Unload swivel head 

112324 Load swivel head 

112325 Replace swivel head 

When swivel heads are loaded/unloaded or replaced, the swivel head cycle 

TOOLCARR is also called. 



12.01 

Swivel cycle 





Swivel cycle TOOLCARR.SPF is stored in the toolbox and must be adapted to 

meet special machine requirements: 

S PLC enable to open the safety door 

S Confirm that swivel head or table has been changed 

S Angular setting of the swivel head/table 

S Angular setting of the swivel head prior to tool change 

S Angular setting of the swivel head prior to swivel head change 

S Actions involved in adapting swivel plane due to Hirth tooth system 

S Swivel angle on start of program 

Note 

One of the functions of cycle E_SWIV_H in swivel cycle TOOLCARR is to set 

the angle of the swivel head prior to a tool change. 

The following parameters must be transferred: 

Swivel head number (stored in variable _TC1) 

Angle of 1st swivel axis 

Angle of 2nd swivel axis. 

Cycle E_SWIV_H must not be used in modes _M20 and _M31.

13.5 Multiple clamping 

13.5 Multiple clamping 

13-178 

12.01 

The “Multiple clamping” function optimizes tool changes over several workpiece 

clampings. On the one hand, this reduces downtimes and, on the other, eliminates 

tool change times because a tool performs as many machining operations 

as possible in all clampings before the next tool change is initiated. 

You can either execute the same program several times in the clampings or you 

can select different programs. 

The “Multiple clamping with different programs” is a software option with Order 

No. 6FC5 463-0FA04-0AA0. 

The “Multiple clamping” function utilizes cycle CLAMP.SPF which is automatically 

loaded when ShopMill is installed. 

You can leave the cycle unchanged for flat clamping devices. In the case of 

rotating clamping devices, you must adapt the cycle to match the features of the 

machine so as to ensure that the next workpiece can be turned to the correct 

position while the current workpiece is being machined. 

You can find the required cycle in tools\cycles\d in the toolbox.

13.7 Spindle control 

13.7 Spindle control 

13-180 

The ShopMill spindle control has the following special features: 

12.01 

S MD 35040 $MA_SPIND_ACTIVE_AFTER_RESET, value 1 causes the NCK 

not to switched off the spindle at M2 or M30. In contrast, the ShopMill PLC 

distinguishes between M2 and M30. The spindle is stopped in response to 

M30 or RESET, but not M2. 

One of the benefits of this functionality is that the spindle can be started at 

any time in manual mode (e.g. for scratching). 

S The keys “Spindle right”, “Spindle left” and “Spindle stop” triggers the Shop- 

Mill -PLC input signals DB82 DBX9.1 “spindle_start”, DB82 DBX9.4 “spindle_right”, 

DB82 DBX9.3 “spindle_left” and DB82 DBX9.2 “spindle_stop”. 

The ShopMill PLC program writes the following interface signals to the 

signal data block: 

DB3x.DBX30.0 Spindle Stop 

DB3x.DBX30.1 Spindle Start CW Rotation 

DB3x.DBX30.2 Spindle Start CCW Rotation 

The spindle can be started and stopped when the channel is in the Reset 

state (DB21.DBX35.7=1) or when the channel status is ”interrupted” 

(DB21.DBX35.6=1) and the program status is ”interrupted” 

(DB21.DBX35.3=1). 

Note 

If the spindle must be stopped when the program is running, then interface 

signal ”Feed Stop/Spindle Stop” must be set in the user PLC (DB3x.DBX4.3). 

The spindle control can be deactivated via interface signal DB82.DBX9.0. 



12.01 

13.8 Automatically generated programs 

CMM_SINGLE 

CMM_MDI 

INPUT_DATA_MM 

INPUT_DATA_IN 

REM_DATA 




13.8 Automatically generated programs 

ShopMill creates several programs automatically during operation. 

The program is created when a function is executed in the “Machine manual” 

operating area. The ShopMill PLC switches internally to the “Machine Auto” 

area, processes the “CMM_SINGLE” program and returns to the “Machine 

Manual” operating area. 

The G code records programmed under “MDI are saved in this program. 

The parameter values last entered in a mask are saved in this program, independent 

of the unit of measurement. (INPUT_DATA_MM = values with the unit 

“mm”; INPUT_DATA_IN = values with the unit “Inch”) 

The data to be retained after the machine is switched off are stored in this program.

13.9.1 Basic menu bar 

Jump into application 

Return jump from 

application 

13-182 

12.01 

The difference between ShopMill Open and ShopMill Classic is that the Open 

variant has a basic menu bar or extended basic menu bar. It is not possible to 

change to the CNC ISO operator interface in ShopMill Open, but the HMI 

Advanced operating areas “Parameters” (without tool management and zero 

offsets), “Services”, “Diagnosis” and “Start-Up” are directly accessible via the 

extended horizontal softkey menu. 

Furthermore, you can integrate Windows applications via softkeys in the basic 

menu bar in ShopMill Open. 

You must install these Windows applications in the “OEM” directory and define 

them in file “Regie.ini”. For further details, see on the ShopMill CD-ROM: 

References: User’s Manual HMI Programming Package Part 1 (BN). 

There are various methods by which you can integrate Windows applications 

into the basic menu bar: 

Horizontal softkey 4, i.e. the Messages/Alarms operating area is replaced 

User-assignable softkeys 7 and 8 

User-assignable softkeys 1 to 8 in the extended horizontal softkey menu 

There are 3 methods by which you can jump from the Windows application to 

another operating area: 

Using the ”Menu Select” key on the operator panel, you can return to the 

basic menu bar and then select another operating area via a softkey. 

You can configure the keys “Position”, “Program”, “Offset”, “Program Manager”, 

“Alarm” and “Custom” on the operator panel to branch directly into another 

operating area or sub-menu. 

You can configure so-called ”PLC keys” to branch into another operating 

area or sub-menu.

13.10 Cycles/measuring cycles support in the G code editor 

You can integrate screenforms in the G code editor which will offer you assistance 

in programming drilling, milling, turning and measuring cycles. These cycles 

can then be recompiled automatically. 

You must create a link between the softkeys which call this cycles/measuring 

cycles support function and the configuring file of the support screens in file 

COMMON.COM (in the user cycles directory CUS.DIR): 

sc8493=aeditor.com ; Drilling (horizontal softkey 3) 

sc8494=aeditor.com ; Milling (horizontal softkey 4) 

sc8495=aeditor.com ; Turning (horizontal softkey 5) 

sc8402=aeditor.com ; Measuring of milling (horizontal softkey 2 

; on the extended softkey bar)
