HMI software for CNC controls

■ Overview
With TDI Machine, tool management already commences in the
CNC machine.
TDI Machine is a function package with the tool management
functions which are mostly used for single machines. TDI
Machine offers operators direct support for provision of tools at
the right time and when loading/unloading tools.
■ Benefits
7 Very user-friendly thanks to visualization of tool requirements
7 Numerous filter functions for application-specific generation
of result lists
7 Operator-prompted loading and unloading of individual tools
in parallel with machining time together with the SINUMERIK
standard tool management option
7 Simple interfacing of a tool setting station via Ethernet for
importing of tool correction data

■ Function (continued)
• Unloading list
The unloading list contains magazine tools which are not
required in the net requirement, as well as disabled tools.
• Loading list
The list of tools to be loaded can be transferred from the
TDI Machine into the tool list of the NCK. The loading procedure
itself is carried out by the loading functions of the tool
management option.
• Communication with tool setting stations
TDI Machine is able to exchange all relevant data with tool
setting stations via TCP/IP
- Transfer of tool requirement to tool setting stations
- Importing of TC data of tool setting stations and transfer of
data to tool list of standard tool management option.
• Coupling to tool management systems
If tool management systems (e.g. from TDM Systems) are
present, a project-specific coupling can be installed.
- Importing of current tool master data and tool plans for determination
of tool requirement
- Transfer of determined tool requirement
- Importing of TC data, and transfer of data to the tool list of the
standard tool management option.
■ Integration
Preconditions:
• SINUMERIK 810D powerline/840Di/840D powerline with
PCU 50/PCU 70
• SINUMERIK 810D/840D with MMC 103
• Standard tool management

■ Function
The following functions help the operator to keep control of the
tool situation on the machine:
• Determination of actual tool requirements for next production
period by comparison with the actual state of the tool in the

Machine downtimes are then minimized, and short setup times
are achieved.

Display of total tool requirement including replacement tools for • Single license with CD-ROM 6FC6000-2AC00-0AA0
the selected machining sequence
of current software version
• Net tool requirement
• Single license with CD-ROM 6FC6000-2AC07-7AA0
Display of total tool requirement including replacement tools for
the selected machining sequence, where the tools in the mag-
of specific software version
azines and their remaining service life are taken into account.
The net requirement therefore results from comparison of the
gross tool requirements with the current magazine loading.
Example of "specific software version", e.g., 2.00:
