Oemsettings.py; Configuration File For Oem-Specific Extended Tool Management - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI Technical Manual

OEMSettings.py

July 2013
You do not need to activate software option 46 (Python OEM Process) if you
want to use one of the above-mentioned standard features.
Note
If the extended tool management function is active, a TNC backup can only
be restored before the Power interrupted message has been
acknowledged.
Later the tool table and the pocket table are constantly exchanging data
with the Python scripts and are therefore locked for the restore process.
Also, the tool management function can be configured to meet your
requirements. The following rule files and configuration files are used for
configuration:
OEMSettings.py

OEMRuleList.py

OEMRules.py

OEMEntryList.py

OEMEntries.py

The new tool management function is configured using the columns from the
previous tool table and pocket table. These remain available in the background.
The tool management function mainly changes the user interface. In addition,
columns with new contents can be created for the new tool management
function by linking the data of the previous table columns (e.g. by calculating
new values).

Configuration file for OEM-specific extended tool management

In this file, you specify the OEM-specific files and settings. This way, you can
also configure individual parts of the extended tool management function on
your own.
You need to save the OEMSettings.py in the directory
PLC:\Python\ETMC\gui_jh. If the file exists, the TNC evaluates the entries of
this file. In this file, all OEM-specific entries are marked as comments by
default, and are therefore not active. If you activate individual entries, the TNC
will use this OEM-specific configuration.
The paths indicated in OEMSettings.py are relative paths to the file itself. You
should not change any paths or file names to ensure that the complete project
is easily understandable if servicing becomes necessary. Therefore, you must
save the OEM-specific files with the paths and files names indicated in
OEMSettings.py.
OEM-specific files offer you the possibility of defining the following default
settings:
Rule-based configuration of table columns and tables of the tool table and

pocket table. If software option 93 is active, this also applies to the tooling
list and T usage order.
Language-sensitive files for the texts used

Rule-based configuration of fillable forms

Soft-key row of magazine management

Context menu for magazine management

8.15 Tool changer
