Licensing In The Sinumerik 808D/Sinumerik 808D Advanced - Siemens SINUMERIK 808D Function Manual

The following takes the workpiece machining process shown in the above figure for example to show how to switch
geometry axes.
GEOAX()
G0 X0Y0Z0
GEOAX(3, Z2)
G0 Z100
GEOAX(3, Z1)
G0 Z100
GEOAX()
Note
The assigned channel axis names and geometry axis names must differ; otherwise alarm 14414 "GEOAX function: incorrect
call" is triggered.
MD20080 AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB
•
MD20060 AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB
•
Note
The command is used for switching a geometry axis. For an additional axis, you can switch it with the
GEOAX
command only after assigning a geometry axis to the additional axis.
The command is used for switching an existing geometry axis when the control system is powered on, but not for
GEOAX
creating a new geometry axis.
The command is used for calling the basic configuration of a geometry axis, that is, restoring its original
GEOAX()
configuration status before the
command keeps the operation of geometry axis switchover still active even when you execute another part program.
24 Licensing in the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D
ADVANCED
SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED licensing
The PPU software on the CNC PPU has already been licensed in the factory before delivery.
Depending on specific requirements, factory licensing is available for the following machining types:
● SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED T (Turning)
● SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED M (Milling)
● SINUMERIK 808D (Turning)
● SINUMERIK 808D (Milling)
You can also purchase the following optional functions for the control system. To use the functions, first activate them on the
control via the HMI user interface.
● Additional axes
● Contour handwheel
● Bidirectional leadscrew error compensation
● Manual Machine Plus (for the turning variant of the control system only)
● CNC lock
● Transmit/Tracyl
● Gantry (BASIC)
Web License Manager
You can obtain the corresponding licenses from the Web License Manager (http://www.siemens.com/automation/license).
With the Web License Manager, you can assign licenses to hardware in a standard Web browser. To conclude the
assignment, you must manually enter the license key at the control system through the HMI user interface.
