Fundamentals
TNC model, software and features
It is possible to search quickly for a file in file management by
entering the first letter, see "Selecting drives, directories and
files", page 135
File management displays vertical scrollbars and supports
scrolling with the mouse, see "Calling the file manager",
page 134
New machine parameter for recreating M7 and M8, see
"Machine-specific user parameters", page 610
New machine parameter for deactivating parallel axis
programming, see "Working with the parallel axes U, V and W",
page 417
The function STRLEN checks whether a string parameter has
been defined, see "Finding the length of a string parameter",
page 371
The function SYSSTR enables the NC software version to be
read out, see "Reading system data", page 368
The function FN 38: SEND can now be programmed without a
code number
Undefined Q parameters can now be transferred with the
function FN 0
For jumps with FN 9, QS parameters and texts are permitted as
conditions, see "Programming if-then decisions", page 325
Cylindrical workpiece blanks can now also be defined with a
diameter instead of a radius, see "Define the blank: BLK FORM",
page 117
The transitional elements RND and CHF can now also be
executed between 3-D contours, i.e. with straight line blocks
with three programmed coordinates or a helix
The control now supports spatial arcs, i.e. circles in 3 axes
vertical to the working plane, see "Circular path C around circle
center CC", page 245
Active kinematics is displayed in the 3D-ROT menu, see
"Activating manual tilting:", page 533
In operating modes Program run, single block and Program
run, full sequence the screen layout PROGRAM + SECTS can be
specified, see "Structuring programs", page 161
In operating modes Program run full sequence, Program run
single block and Positioning with manl.data input, the font
size can be set to the same size as the Programming operating
mode, see "Machine-specific user parameters", page 610
The functions in the Positioning with manl.data input mode
were expanded and adapted for improved operation, see
"Positioning with Manual Data Input", page 537
Active kinematics is displayed in the operating mode RETRACT,
see "Retraction after a power interruption", page 566
In RETRACT operating mode, feed-rate limitation can be
deactivated with the soft key CANCEL THE FEED RATE
LIMITATION, see "Retraction after a power interruption",
page 566
In Test run operating mode a tool usage file can also be created
without simulation, see "Tool usage test", page 205
