HMI software for CNC controls

■ Overview
Using the convenient dialog prompting of TDI Toolhandling you
can import, buffer or pass on available tool data when loading
and unloading – over the network. In this manner it is possible
e.g. to simply integrate a tool setting station or a tool store into
the system.
Any containers within a plant can be involved in the processes.
The objective is to achieve a closed tool data cycle without faultprone
entry of data by hand.
■ Benefits
7 Minimization of faults when entering tool data through data
acquisition from the system
7 No loss of tool data if the tools are no longer or not yet in the
machine
7 Easy integration of tool setting stations, and importing of
TC data directly into the CNC via the network
7 Use of low-cost tool identification systems (barcode, read
only) since tool data are obtained via the network
7 Fast tool loading on the machine through provision of
consignment lists
7 Clear representation of tool movements through functionbased
screen with source and target
■ Function
• TDI Toolhandling executes in a network with TDI Cell/TDI Plant,
as well as on a single-user station (e.g. for importing tool data
from a tool setting station).
• Data simulation of all tool movements in a plant or on a single
machine
• Initialization of loading and unloading processes with direct
assignment of location or automatic searching for empty
location
• Generation of consignment lists with loading and unloading
processes and their automatic execution
• Representation on the operator interface of the respective
assignment situation at the source and target of the
respective tool movement
• Management of external tool stores with or without location
management
• Connection of tool setting stations via a defined standard
interface with importing of TC data directly into the tool
management option of the control

■ Function (continued)
• Different setting possibilities when importing tool data
- Data import into tool list (no physical loading process)
- Import source location as target location (with possibility for
offset)
- Data import without PLC acknowledgment (import of
complete tool containers, e.g. tool cartridges)
- Direct specification of loading or unloading positions
■ Integration
Preconditions:
• With SINUMERIK controls, it is assumed that the standard tool
management option is installed. SINUMERIK without standard
or vendor-specific tool management can be configured as
SIMATIC S7-based machines or must be connected specific to
the project.
• If tools stored in tool cabinets are to be recorded and managed
by TDI, a TDI Toolhandling operator interface for loading and
unloading the tools (e.g. a Windows PC integrated in the network)
must be assigned to the respective storage location.
• SINUMERIK 810D powerline/840Di/840D powerline with
PCU 50/PCU 70
• SINUMERIK 810D/840D with MMC 103
• PC hardware Pentium III or later, at least 512 MB RAM,
Windows 2000/XP
