Mid-Program Startup (Block Scan) - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 User Manual

Mid-program startup (block scan)

The RESTORE POS AT N feature must be enabled and
adapted by the machine tool builder. Refer to your
machine manual.
With the RESTORE POS AT N feature (block scan) you can start a part
program at any block you desire. The TNC scans the program blocks
up to that point. Machining can be graphically simulated.
If you have interrupted a part program with an INTERNAL STOP, the
TNC automatically offers the interrupted block N for mid-program
startup.
If the program was interrupted by one of the conditions described
below, the TNC saves the point of interruption.
EMERGENCY STOP
Power interruption
Control software crash
After you have called the mid-program startup function, you can press
the soft key SELECT LAST N to reactivate the point of interruption and
approach it with an NC start. After switch-on the TNC then shows the
message NC program was interrupted.
Mid-program startup must not begin in a subprogram.
All necessary programs, tables and pallet files must be
selected in a Program Run mode of operation (status M).
If the program contains a programmed interruption before
the startup block, the block scan is interrupted. Press the
machine START button to continue the block scan.
After a block scan, return the tool to the calculated position
with RESTORE POSITION.
Tool length compensation does not take effect until after
the tool call and a following positioning block. This applies
if you have only changed the tool length.
