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.
