1 Introduction

HEIDENHAIN recommends the following cables for data

transfer:

HEIDENHAIN data transfer cable Id. Nr. 274 545 01, 25-line

(delivered with the FE 401). If your PC has a g-pin RS-232-C

interface, you will need a 9/25-pin adapter (commercially

available).

A HEIDENHAIN RS-232-Cadapter cable (Id. Nr. 239 760) and

a RS-232-C adapter block (Id. Nr. 239 758 01 or

Id. Nr. 310 085 01) must be switched between the data

transfer cable and the control. These are usually already

installed by the machine tool builder in the machine pendant

or switch cabinet.



2 Sofhware Installation

2 Software Installation

Switch on the PC without the HEIDENHAIN floppy disk in the

disk drive. After the test and switch-on routines your PC then

stands ready with the prompt

C:\>

Insert the HEIDENHAIN disk into drive A.

Set up a directory into which the delivered programs are to be

copied and switch to this directory.

Type and enter the command

COPY A:*.*

to copy the programs onto the hard disk.

If you wish to copy only one program, instead of ‘I*. *” enter

the name of the desired program (e.g.

"TNC . EXE").

Remove the disk from the drive and store it carefully

The software installation is now completed: the programs

TNC.EXE, TNCI 50.EXE. FDE.EXE and FE-EXE are stored on

the hard disk in the desired directory and can be started from

there.

The following chapters describe these programs in detail.



3 Data Transfer with TNC.EXq

3 Data Transfer with TNC.EXE

3.1 Preparing the Controls

TNC 151/155

On the TNC 151/l 55 4/P the following machine parameters

must be entered to adjust the RS-232-C/V.24 nterface:

MP 71: 515

MP 218: 17736 (17732 for IS0 programs)

MP 219: 16712 (16708 for IS0 programs)

MP 220: 279

MP 221: 5382

MP 222: 168

MP 223: 1

MP 224: 4

The baud rate must be set to 9600 baud.

For the TNC 151/l 55 B/Q controls, select the RS-232-C/V.24

interface with the MOD key and set to FE operation (see also

the User’s Manual of the control).

TNC 355 and TNC 350

Same as for TNC 155 B/Q

TNC 12413 1O/407/41 O/41 5/425/426/430

With these controls, select FE 2, FE 1 or FE operation via the

corresponding soft-key functions (see the corresponding

User’s Manual). The baud rate of the control must match that

of the PC. After all settings have been properly made,

connect the PC and TNC with the cable (see Chapter 8).

The TNC can be connected to the COMI or COM2 serial

interface of the PC, or to another serial interface - COMX.




3.2 Starting the Program

You must establish the connection with the TNC before you

begin the program. Then to start the program enter the

following command:

TNC

Important information such as the current path, the interface

configuration and whether data transfer is in progress is

displayed in addition to the menu items.




If transfer is not possible (incorrect interface, no connection to

control), this will be recognized by the software and one of the

following error messages will possibly be output:

“Ext. in-/output not ready”,

if the cable connection is not

correct, or if an incorrect interface has been selected.

“Corn1 is probably connected to a mouse”

if a mouse or other unit is already connected to the selected

interface.

Once you have acknowledged the error message with “J”, the

menu for configuring the software will be displayed for you to

select the correct interface or make other settings.

automatically generated in every directory from which

TNCEXE is started.



3.3 Configuration

The possible settings are described in the following.

Path

The path name indicates the directory on the network, hard

disk or floppy disk that is accessible for the computer. This is

the directory that stores the files transferred to or from the

control.

Path entry

There are two ways to enter the path name:

Either move the cursor to the desired position in a

tree

showing the directory structure of the selected drive, or type in

the path name by hand. You must always enter a complete

path name.

Display

Defines whether the data blocks should be shown on screen

during a transmission (Active).

Define COMX

If your PC has an interface card with a variable setting, you can

define an interface here (e.g. COM3 or COM41.

You will need to enter the following:

Port address; this must be smaller than 400H,

Hardware interrupt (IRQ..); may not be used otherwise,

Clock frequency of the UART component. When making your

entries, refer to the entries in the description of the interface

card.

COMI-COMZ-COMX

Here you can select which serial interface you want to use -

COMI, COM 2 or COMX (if the operating system allows this

choice).




Data bits

Sets data transmission to 7 or 8 data bits. Normally, data is

transmitted in 7 bits. The 8-bit setting is provided for the

TNC 426/430 when comment texts with special characters

requiring 8 bits are to be transmitted.

Baud rate

The baud rate can be set to:

2400,4800,9600,19 200,38 400,57 600,115 200

The baud rates of the control and the data transmission

software must match.

Note: Many older computers cannot transmit faster than 9600

bauds.

Timeout

With the timeout you can define how long a transmission line

is kept open if no data is being received from the PC. The

timeout is only valid if data transfer from the control to the PC

has been started.

‘Timeout between two blocks

This is the timeout set for the receipt of full blocks (e.g. NC

blocks). The time can be from 10 to 60 seconds. A good

experimental value is 30 seconds.

Timeout between one block

This is the timeout set for the receipt of the next character

within a block. 2 seconds can serve as experimental value.

Stopwatch

Indicates how long the transmission or reception of a file lasts.

The stopwatch can be switched on and off.

Screen image

Defines whether the PC monitor is color or monochrome.

Name verification

Enables and disables name verification for HEIDENHAIN or

IS0 part programs. If the name verification is active an error

message will appear if the DOS name does not match the

program name given in the first line of text.




Printer

If a printer is connected, you must configure it in the program

to be able to print. Normally, a printer is connected to the LPTI

parallel interface. If your printer is connected to another

interface, you must indicate so here by entering the name of

the interface in the input window.

You can also determine that the Form Feed control character

be output to transport the paper in the printer. The paper will

then be transported after every 60 lines.

Move the cursor to the desired configuration item. The “J” key

enables and disables several functions, while on other items it

calls a list of selectable values in the entry window at the

bottom. To choose the desired value, you again move the

cursor and press the “J” key. The number of data bits and the

name of the printer interface must be typed in.

After you have configured the program your PC will be ready to

transmit and receive programs to and from the control.

Program transfer

Data transfer must be started at the control (see User’s

Manual of the control).

If no data is being transferred the PC will display the message

"Data transfer inactive"

If data transfer is in progress, it displays the message:

"Blockwise transfer from TNC to PC"

or

"Blockwise transfer from PC to TNC"

If the “display” configuration option is enabled, the transmitted

blocks will be displayed. If the FE1 mode is set on the control,

the table of contents of the control will also be displayed on

the PC screen after a data transfer.





You can call the following functions from the main menu:

Fl File directory

Lists all the files of the current directory (indicated under

“Search path”) that have the extension *.?NC or *.FLX. Write-

protected or hidden programs are shown inversely or blinking

(see also your DOS manual). With ESC or F4 Transfer you

return from the File directon/ to the main menu.

F2 Contents

Lists selected programs with the extensions *.?NC or *.FLX

one screen at a time. ESC will take you back to the main

menu.

F3 Print

Prints all files with the extensions *.?NC or *.FLX. Printing is

possible only if you have configured the program for a printer.

ESC will take you back to the main menu.

F4 Transfer

Returns you to the main menu.

F5 Configuration

(See Chapter 3.3 Starting and Configuring the Software.)

4 Data Transfer with TNClBO.EXE

4.3 Configuration

The possible settings are described in the following.

Path

The path name indicates the directory on the network, hard

disk or floppy disk that is accessible for the computer. This is

the directory that stores the files transferred to or from the

control.

Path entry

There are two ways to enter the path name:

Either move the cursor to the desired position in a tree

showing the directory structure of the selected drive, or type

in the path name by hand. You must always enter a complete

path name.

Define COMX

If your PC has an interface card with a variable setting, you can

define an interface here (e.g. COM3 or COM4).

You will need to enter the following:

l Port address; this must be smaller than 400H

l

“J’

key.

Program transfer

After you have configured the program your PC will be ready to

transmit and receive programs to and from the control.

Data transmission must be started at the control (see User’s

Manual of the control).

If the TNC 150 is transferring data to the PC, the data is buffer-

stored in a temporary file (with a random name). Then the

program checks whether the data consists of NC files, a

machine parameter list, a PLC program or a cross reference list

for the PLC program. You can then give machine parameter

lists, PLC programs and cross reference lists six-character

names. A special character will precede and follow the name.

The file name extension for PLC programs is “.PNC”, for cross

reference lists is “.QNC” and for machine parameter lists is

“.MNC”.

If the TNC 150 requests files (see the User’s Manual of the

control), a file selection menu will be displayed. From here you

use the cursor to select the same file as was entered in the

control. Press the “4 key to transfer the file to the control.

Unless data transmission is in progress the PC will display the

message

"Data transfer inactive"

If data transmission is in progress, it displays the message:

Program end

Exits the program and returns you to DOS.



6 Program for Formatting Disks in “FE Format” (FE.EXE)


The program

FE. EXE

formats 3.5” floppy disks in FE 401

format. You can copy NC files, for example from the hard disk,

to a floppy disk that has been formatted for use in the FE 401.

You can also copy from the floppy disk to the hard disk.

Note: Since not all disk drives receive identical support from

the BIOS or the operating system, FE. EXE might not run on

some PCs. If this happens to you, use the program

FDE. EXE

or TNC . EXE instead.

The program provides the required information in windows. It

is operated by function keys and cursor keys. The input always

applies to the active window, which is shown in a bright frame.

The lowest line in the screen shows the current assignment of

the function keys Fl to F6. Fl is reserved for ending the

program.

In addition to the FE and DOS windows, an information, dialog,

or error window also appears, depending on the selected

function.

An information window does not require any input from the

user. In a dialog window, the permitted input is listed. Every

entry can be erased with the BACKSPACE key and overwritten

with a new entry. You must always acknowledge an error with

the “J” key.

6.3 Formatting an FE Floppy Disk

If you are in the FE window (cursor t), you can format the

inserted 3.5” disk in FE 401 format with the F4 key. The new

disk name is formed with “FE-401 v” and an arbitrary four-digit

disk identification. The progress of formatting is shown in a

window. A disk can also be formatted in the FE 401 floppy disk

unit.

6.4 Select, Deselect

To select a file, mark it with the cursor key and press F5. Use

F6 to revoke the selection.

If you select a directory in the DOS window, it becomes the

current directory and its contents are displayed. The

expression “.” refers to the current directory, and “..‘I is its

parent directory. You can move through all branches of the

tree by selecting the desired directory level.




6.5 Copying NC Files

All selected files of one window can be copied to the data

medium in the other window. The target window is then

refreshed. The DOS directory shows only files with a name

extension consisting of one character plus “NC”.

During copying, the DOS name is changed as follows:

XXXXXXXX.HNC -> XXXXXXXX.H

The name is change conversely in the other copying direction.

The file size is different for the same files, because the DOS

file has two characters per line feed and the corresponding FE

file has only one character.

If a file is already present in the target window, the program

will indicated this.

6.6 Deleting a File

All selected files can be deleted with F3. This applies to files

both in the DOS and in the FE windows.





NC programs transferred from the control to the PC are stored

there under a certain DOS name. This DOS name consists of

an NC program name with a maximum of 8 digits and a certain

3-digit extension.

In the TNC 150/l 55/355/246/360 these program names always

consist of numbers (0 . . 9). In the TNC 407/415 they can also

contain letters (A . Z).

Example:

NC program name: DOS name:

12345678

TEST

ARC12

CUBE7

415 (PLC Program)

407 (Machine parameter list)

12345678.HNC

TESTl.HNC

ARC12.HNC

CUBE7.DNC

415.PNC

407.MNc

The 3-digit extension is allocated automatically during program

transfer.

H for NC programs in plain language fOrmat

D for NC programs in DIN format

P for PLC programs

Q for cross reference lists

M for machine parameter lists

T for tool tables (only with TNC 407/415)

N for datum table (only with TNC 407/415)

L for pallet tables (only with TNC 407/415)

A for ASCII tables (only with TNC 407/415)

s For table for multipoint axis error compensation

If the NC programs are produced externally (e.g., at a

programming station), be sure to enter the DOS name in the

correct format to ensure proper transfer.
