Using the measuring cycles SW 7.5 in HMI-Advanced from 7.5 and higher with SINUMERIK 840D sl from
SW 2.5
The configuration HMI-Adv SW 7.5 with NCU 7x0.x SW 2.5 contains two different cycle software releases:
• The total package NCU 7x0.x comprises: NCU2.5 (with HMIsl SW 2.5) with cycle packages SW 2.5
(technological cycles, measuring cycles) on a CF card, these match the cycle support in the editor of this
internal HMI;
• HMI-Adv 7.5 also brings the cycle archive SW 7.5 (technological cycles, measuring cycles) into the
archive path.
With this total configuration, then the following always applies: Cycles that are downloaded into the NCU
can only be operated with the cycle support that belongs to this SW release - but not mixed.
To use the cycle support of the HMI-Advanced from 7.5 onwards, the cycles should be loaded from its archives -
but not the cycles from the CF card of the NCU.
Installing the technology cycles:
Step 1 - Reading in the archives
Read in the necessary archive files:
cyccust_gr.arc ;*Archive for user cycles German
cyccust_uk.arc ;*Archive for user cycles English
cycles.arc ;*Archive with all standard cycles (milling and turning cycles)
cycmill.arc ;*Archive with all milling cycles
cycturn.arc ;*Archive with all milling cycles
defines.arc ;*Archive with definition files
In the "Services" area, select the "Program data" softkey and navigate to "Cycle archive" using the cursor keys;
to open, use the Input key. In the "Cycle archive" area, navigate to "Standard cycles" using the cursor keys; to
open, use the Input key.
Read in the necessary archive files by selecting the vertical softkey "Read in archive".
Note: The archive files must be selected and read in separately. Once all the relevant archive files have been
read in, you must perform an NCK reset by selecting softkey "NCK Reset" in the "Startup" area.
Step 2 - Activating the definition files
In the "Program" area, select the ETC key ">" to go to the 3rd level. On this level, select the "Definition files"
softkey, select the definitions separately and activate them using the "Activate" softkey.
Step 3 - Activating the "Swivel cycle" softkey in the "Start-up" area
In the "Program" area / "Standard cycles", edit the "common.com" file and delete the semicolon in the beginning
of the line
;SC616 = STARTUP.COM
Then select the "NCK Reset" softkey in the ">>Startup" area.
Step 4 – Activating the "Thread recutting" softkey in the "Machine" area "Jog"
In the "Program" area / "Standard cycles", edit the "common.com" file and delete the semicolon in the beginning
of the line
;SC108 = MA_JOG.COM
Then select the "NCK Reset" softkey in the ">>Startup" area.
