Converting Fk Programs Into Heidenhain Conversational Format - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 User Manual

Converting FK programs into HEIDENHAIN
conversational format
The TNC features two possibilities for converting FK programs to
plain-language programs:
Convert the program so that the program structure is maintained
(program-section repeats and subprogram calls). Cannot be applied
if you have used Q-parameter functions in the FK sequence.
Convert the program so that program-section repeats, subprogram
calls and Q-parameter calculations are linearized. For linearization,
instead of the program-section repeats and subprogram calls, the
TNC writes the NC blocks processed internally into the generated
program or calculates values assigned via Q-parameter calculations
within an FK sequence.
Select the program you want to convert.
Shift the soft-key rows until the CONVERT
PROGRAM soft key appears.
Select the soft-key row with functions for converting
programs.
Convert the FK blocks of the selected program. The
TNC converts all FK blocks into straight-line blocks (L)
and circular-arc blocks (CC, C), and the program
structure is maintained, or
Convert the FK blocks of the selected program. The
TNC converts all FK blocks into straight-line blocks (L)
and circular-arc blocks (CC, C), and the TNC linearizes
the program.
The name of the file created by the TNC consists of the
old file name and the extension _nc. Example:
File name of the FK program: HEBEL.H
File name of the conversational dialog program
converted by the TNC:HEBEL_nc.h
The resolution of the created conversational program is
0.1 µm.
The converted program includes the comment after the
converted NC blocks SNR and a number. The number
indicates the block number of the FK program from which
the respective conversational block was calculated.
