4.3 General cycle support

Introduction
When using cycle support in the parts program, additional comment lines are
generated in front of and behind the cycle call and used for recompilation. These
lines start with ;# ... .
When cycles noted directly using the editor are called (also referred to as "old"
cycles), then this information is missing. A description is provided in the following
text as to how the information for cycles, contained in the lines in ;# can be
provided by configuring INI files. This means, that after re-compilation, it will be
possible to work with the following using the screen form support:
• Directly noted cycle calls
• Siemens cycle calls
• User cycle calls.
For Siemens cycles, the required configuration files are included in the scope of
supply.
For screen forms generated with the Expand user interface function for the
purpose of supporting user cycles, the information in the screen form descriptive
files can be used for this process.
Cycle-specific settings can be made in the configuration to define whether cycles
with ;# lines are to be processed in the parts program or recompiled via the
configuration files.
This process can be used to optionally generate the addition of ;# lines required for
screen form support in the parts program for directly noted "old" cycles.
Requirement:
For these cycles, a configuration generated using the Expand user interface tools
must exist/be generated.
Configuring
The WIZARD.INI file can be stored in the following directories:
..-\user
..-\oem
..-\hmi_adv
..-\mmc2
A search is made in the specified directories in this sequence and the information
of the section
[MMC_CycleWizard] is then added so that it is up to date.
Entries that refer to cycle packets are located in this section. These include:
INI_1=bohren.ini
INI_2=drehen.ini
...
INI_n=paket.ini
