Expansion Of Tool Geometry Data For Simulation - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual

08/2005
Basic data
The initialization data (INITIAL.INI), tool data (TO_INI.INI) and definition files
(*.DEF) loaded into the simulation are displayed. The files (CH(c)_xxx.INI,
NC_xxx.INI and AX_SEA.INI) are displayed under "Loaded data".
The date stamp for these files is evaluated. If these files are modified externally
(e.g., via Services), the change is detected at the time of the next simulation
selection and the files concerned are automatically loaded into the simulation.

2.6.3 Expansion of Tool Geometry Data for Simulation

Previously tools could be shown with their cutting edge, shaft and holder, which
were calculated internally from data from the NC.
With the expansion of the tool geometry data, it is now possible to show only the
cutting edge ("flying edge") in the simulation image, without the shank and holder.
Additional/deviating parameters can also be incorporated into the simulation on a
tool-by-tool basis.
The definition is produced by means of the SIMTOGEO.INI file, which is stored in
one of the directories \USER, \OEM, \ADD_ON, or \HMI_ADV. This file is not
supplied with the system as standard.
Other requirements:
•
Activation the "flying edge" function in DPTWP.INI or DPMWP.ini
•
Machine data: define memory for OEM parameters
•
Create SIMTOGEO.INI file, enter link in file
Parameterization
The SimToGeo.ini file must contain an entry that establishes a link to the NCK tool
data. This is located in the [Settings] section.
Link=TC_DPCx
Link=TC_DPCSx
We recommend using the parameter TC_DPCS1 as the link entry for new projects,
as this has been specially reserved for this purpose. A different link setting should
only be used if the parameter TC_DPCS1 is already in use in an existing project.
With Link=TC_DPCS1, for example, for every tool for which entries exist in
SimToGeo.ini, an entry $TC_DPCS1[t,d]= <Identifier> must be specified for the
NCK tool data, where t = tool number and d = duplo number. Identifier must be
noted as a real number, e.g. 500.1, where the number before the decimal point can
represent a tool type and the number after the decimal point allows a further
distinction.
