January 2012
A summary of the improvements in NC software 548 328-02 is given below.
For more detailed information, please refer to the Technical Manual sections
indicated in the brief descriptions given below.
New: Search for the iTNC MP number in the configuration editor
For numerous machine parameters, the compatible iTNC MP number is
stored in the help text in the configuration editor. Up to now, it has not been
possible to search the configuration for these numbers. The search function
of the configuration editor now enables you to search for the iTNC MP
number (selection: MP number). See "Finding/Replacing" on page 339.
New: Separate parameter numbers for OEM parameters
In order for the OEM to group the parameters in the configuration editor
according to his own needs, or to make them easier to find, there is now a
separate number range for the OEM. Numbers 900000 to 999999 are
reserved for the OEM. For those parameters for which an OEM number is
defined, this number is shown instead of the HEIDENHAIN number. The
numbers are to be defined in the
%OEM%\config\layout\PlcUniqueNumbers.xml file. If the file is missing or
empty, no OEM numbers will be displayed. For more information, please
refer to "User Parameters" on page 365.
Enhanced: OEM motor table (only digital control)
Until now, if the OEM-specific motor table (path:
PLC:\table\motor_oem.mot) was missing, a warning was issued and the
user had to create the table himself. Now no warning will be issued. The
control itself creates a new blank table as soon as the MP_motName
(401301) parameter is edited. If the OEM motor table exists but columns are
missing, then the columns that exist in the SYS motor table will be
transferred to the OEM motor table during copying. The control indicates
which columns were not copied.
Enhanced: Saving update rules
If the user tries to exit the configuration editor without saving the changes
made by the update rules, a dialog window appears prompting the user to
save the data. The configuration editor cannot be exited until the data are
saved, See "Update rules" on page 351.
Note
The first restart of the control after the update cannot be continued without
saving the configuration changes made by the update rules.
