SINUMERIK 840D sl Operation/Programming ShopTurn (BAT) – 08/2005 Edition
ShopTurn provides a status window so that you can have an overview
of the most important machine run times at any time. It shows the
following operating times.
Measurement of the program run time starts as soon as you press the
"Cycle Start" key and stops on NC Stop or NC Reset.
If you start a new program, timing starts again from the beginning.
Timing continues if dwell time is active, or during program runs with
program test or dry run feedrate. Upon NC-Stop or feedrate override =
0, the timing stops.
By means of a program progress display, you can track what
percentage of the called up program has already loaded.
The display only appears when a program or subroutine is called up
via an EXTCALL command or if a program is executed from the hard-
disk.
The current repetition and the programmed number of program
repetitions (e.g. Workpiece: 15/100) are displayed in work-step and G-
code programs. In work-step programs, the number appears, but only
if the number of programmed repetitions N is greater than 1 (see Sec.
"Specifying the Quantity").
After a programmed number of repetitions (100,000), only the current
program repetition is displayed due to lack of space (e.g.
workpiece: 15).
If no information is yet available about the current program repetition,
only two dashes are displayed (e.g. Workpiece: - -/100).
After the start of a program, the counter shows 0 for the current
repetition.
For counting workpieces, specify the actual and desired numbers of
workpieces as pre-settings (see Sec. "Parameterize workpiece
counter").
The current time is displayed here.
Today's date is displayed.
The machine run time displays how much time has elapsed since the
control was last switched on.
The machining time displays the total run time of all programs
executed since the control was last switched on.
