New: Manual change systems for the tool turret
The control now supports the management of manual change systems for
the tool turret. These systems are special tool holders with a fixture for tool
inserts so that the tools can be exchanged during NC machining with just a
few simple steps. This makes it possible to increase the number of available
tools for the same number of pockets. Refer to the User's Manual for your
control for more information about this.
New: Integrated calculator supports the input of HEX numbers
The MANUALplus 620 features a very powerful integrated calculator (CALC
key). This calculator has for some time now already provided the possibility
of activating a scientific view with expanded calculator operations, for
example. Now the calculator also supports the input of hexadecimal
numbers via soft keys. Until now, an external USB keyboard was required
for entering the HEX numbers A to F.
New: Behavior of nominal position value filters during measurement
with the TT has been changed
When tools are measured with the TT tool touch probe, the nominal position
value filters are now only deactivated during the probing movement and the
retraction movement. If, for example, the TT cycle is interrupted by the user
and the axes are moved manually, the filters are reactivated automatically.
This ensures jerk-free movement of the axes.
New: sik.info file with information about the SIK of the MANUALplus
620:
Now the MANUALplus 620 automatically saves information about the
current SIK in the PLC:\service\sik.info file each time the control is
started. The active software options, option designations, the current FCL
and the SIK ID and SIK serial number are saved, along with other data. The
sik.info file is also saved with the service files.
New: System check in the event of incorrect shutdown
If the supply voltage of the MANUALplus 620 was switched off although the
NC software had not been shut down properly, a system check will now be
performed during the next startup. During the check the message System
Secured Startup is displayed instead of System Startup. If the system
check detects an inconsistent file system, the MANUALplus 620 displays an
error message and the startup of the control is interrupted.
Warning
Inappropriate switch-off of the MANUALplus 620 can lead to data loss!
To prevent data from being lost at switch-off, you need to shut down the
NC software of the MANUALplus 620 as follows before turning off the
main switch of the machine:
Press the soft key for shutting down the control. When the MANUALplus
620 displays the message NOW IT IS SAFE TO TURN POWER OFF in a
superimposed window, you may cut off the power supply to the
MANUALplus 620.
