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.
