Text Editor; File Output Via Data Interface - HEIDENHAIN TNC 415 Technical Manual

1.4 Text Editor

A file which is loaded into the editor (EDITOR PGM) can be displayed on the screen with the soft
key EDIT from the main menu. If it is a new file then the screen will be empty, apart from the status
display for the editor.
The status display contains the following information:
FILE: Name of the file
LINE: Current line number of the cursor (bright field).
COLUMN: Current column number of the cursor (bright field).
INSERT or
OVERWRITE: Use the soft key to choose between
- insert mode (INSERT) and
- overwrite mode (OVERWRITE).
See User's Manual for a detailed description of the Text Editor.

1.5 File output via data interface

The EXT key is used to initiate the output of data across the data interface (see chapter entitled
"Data Interface").
PLC programs, PLC error messages and dialogues for OEM cycles can be transferred as ASCII text
via the data interface (see chapter "Data interface").
PLC programs, PLC error messages, dialogues for OEM cycles and the OEM cycles themselves can
also be given out as binary code for the creation of EPROMs.
After operating the soft key "OUTPUT BINARY CODE 0001" it is possible to collect the files that
are to be transferred in a list. The required ID number for the EPROM which is to be created must
be entered in the first line of this table. The preset names in the list can be overwritten.
To start data transfer, the user must press the EXT key.
The HEIDENHAIN service department is at your disposal for further information about creating
EPROMs.
A table could look like this:
IDENT 123 456 99
LOAD PLC0CODE.PLC
LOAD PLC0CODE.ER1
LOAD PLC0CODE.ERE
LOAD PLC0CODE.DI1
LOAD PLC0CODE.THE
LOAD 999 999 69.H (OEM-cycle)
If the PLC program is to be transferred to a 2MB EPROM, the command "SIZE 2MB" must be
entered in the table (as of software 280 58, 280 54, 280 56). The PLC main program is designated
with /M. Help files (.HLP) and machine parameters lists (.MP) can also be transferred into the
EPROM.
