3.3 Activating a dialog from the NC program
Different cycle versions
A differentiation is made between various versions of cycles with the same name using the
version number. Main block/secondary block and block numbers in front of the cycle call are
kept unchanged.
Cycle call line in the parts program:
/1234 :44 CYCLE94(, , )
After expansion by the string and ;# lines:
;NCG#CYC94#\CST.DIR\DREHEN.COM#NC1#1#*NCG;*RO*;*HD*
;##########*NCG;*RO*;*HD*
/1234 :44 CYCLE94(,,"",)

3.3 Activating a dialog from the NC program
3.3
Introduction
With HMI Advanced and HMI Embedded sl, dialogs defined by the user can be displayed.
The appearance of the dialogs is defined through configuration (modification of COM file in
the cycles directory).
The dialog is called and exited by function calls from the parts program. User-configured
dialog screens do not modify the HMI system software (user interface). User-defined dialogs
cannot be called simultaneously in different channels.
Command channel
The "Activate dialog from NC Program" function is also referred to as a "command channel".
Activating the command channel
One possible application of user-defined dialogs is, for example, to assign defined values to
particular user variables (GUD) prior to a parts program run.
● Up to 2 channels:
● More than 2 channels:
3-4
The "command channel" is activated by default for channels 1 and 2.
For HMI Advanced, the "command channel" must be activated (if the Siemens measuring
cycles have not yet been installed). This requires a modification to be made to the file
