General 1

1.1 1.1 Basics

General information

Measuring cycles are general subroutines designed to solve specific measurement tasks.

They can be adapted to specific problems via parameter settings.

When taking general measurements, a distinction is made between

• tool measurements and

• workpiece measurements.

Workpiece measurements

:RUNSLHFHPHDVXUHPHQWV

([DPSOH0LOOLQJPDFKLQH

=

<

;

:

In workpiece measurement, a measuring probe is moved up to the clamped workpiece in the

same way as a tool and the measured values are acquired. The flexibility of measuring

cycles makes it possible to perform nearly all measurements required on a milling or turning

machine.

An automatic tool offset or ZO correction can be applied to the workpiece measurement

result.

In tool measurement, the selected tool is moved up to the probe and the measured values

are acquired. The probe is either in a fixed in position or is swung into the working area with

a mechanism. The tool geometry measured is entered in the appropriate tool offset data set.

1.2 1.2 General prerequisites

Certain preconditions must be met before measuring cycles can be used.

These are detailed in Part 2 Description of Functions (Chapter 8 ff.).

The following checklist is useful for checking which preconditions have been met:

Machine

• All machine axes are designed in accordance with DIN 66217.

• Machine data have been adapted.

Existence of cycles, data blocks

The following have been loaded into the control and activated:

• The data blocks into the "Definitions" directory:

– GUD5.DEF

– GUD6.DEF and

– GUD7.DEF (for measuring in JOG)

• The measuring cycles into the standard cycle directory.

Starting position

• The reference points have been approached.

• The starting position can be reached by linear interpolation without collision.

General

1.3 Behavior on block search, dry run, program testing, simulation

Measuring cycles

Programming Manual, Release 04/2006, 6FC5398-4BP10-0BA0 1-3

Display functions of the measuring cycles

An HMI/PCU is required for showing the measuring result displays and measuring cycle

support.

Please observe the following when programming:

• Tool radius compensation is deselected before it is called (G40).

• All parameters for the cycle call have been defined beforehand.

• The cycle is called no later than at the 5th program level.

• The system of units allows measuring in the programmed unit system that deviates from

the basic system with switchable technology data.

– For metric dimension system with active G70, G700.

– For inch-based dimension system with active G71, G710.

1.3 1.3 Behavior on block search, dry run, program testing, simulation

Function

The measuring cycles are skipped during execution if one of the following execution modes

is active:

• "Trial run" ($P_DRYRUN=1)

• "Program test" ($P_ISTEST=1)

• "Block search" ($P_SEARCH=1), only if $A_PROTO=0.

Simulation

• On HMI Advanced ($P_SIM=1)

The measuring cycle programs are executed on selection of "Simulation" on the HMI.

• On Jobshop products ($P_SEARCH=1 and $A_PROTO=1)

The measurements are simulated. No selected tool or zero offset is applied. Active functions

such as "measuring result display", "travel with collision monitoring", "measuring cycle

logging" are not executed.

Suppression of simulation execution

Execution of the measuring cycles in simulation can be suppressed in simulation by resetting

the variable _MC_SIMSIM=0 in data block GUD6. The measuring cycles are then skipped.

Specifying differences for simulation

The variable _MC_SIMDIFF of data type REAL permits specification of simulated

measurement deviations at measuring points. The value is a dimension in the basic system

of the control.

General

1.3 Behavior on block search, dry run, program testing, simulation

Measuring cycles

1-4 Programming Manual, Release 04/2006, 6FC5398-4BP10-0BA0

Excessive values of _MC_SIMDIFF with corresponding value assignment of the defining

parameters cause cycle alarms to be output.

Note

It is not ensured that the correction value contains the correct sign of _MC_SIMDIFF. This

depends on the measurement or calibration task and the direction of measurement. The sign

is influenced in such a way that the overall result makes sense (e.g. "Measure hole").

Changing the sign always causes the sign of the result to change.

Demo program for simulation on HMI Advanced

The measuring cycle software supplied includes programs for demonstrating how the

measuring cycles work when simulating on HMI Advanced. The programs are divided into

turning technology and milling technology. When a program is loaded, the "workpieces" are

created whose directory contains all data and settings required for simulation.
