Converting FK programs into HEIDENHAIN
conversational format
The TNC features two possibilities for converting FK programs to
plain-language programs:
„ Convert the program so that the program structure is maintained
(program-section repeats and subprogram calls). Cannot be applied
if you have used Q-parameter functions in the FK sequence.
„ Convert the program so that program-section repeats, subprogram
calls and Q-parameter calculations are linearized. For linearization,
instead of the program-section repeats and subprogram calls, the
TNC writes the NC blocks processed internally into the generated
program or calculates values assigned via Q-parameter calculations
within an FK sequence.
U Select the program you want to convert
U Press the Special Functions key
U Press the Programming Aids soft key.
U Select the soft-key row with functions for converting
programs
U Convert the FK blocks of the selected program. The
TNC converts all FK blocks into straight-line blocks
(L)
and circular-arc blocks (CC, C), and the program
structure is maintained, or
U Convert the FK blocks of the selected program. The
TNC converts all FK blocks into straight-line blocks
(L)
and circular-arc blocks (CC, C), and the TNC
linearizes the program
Initiating the FK dialog
If you press the gray FK button, the TNC displays the soft keys you can
use to initiate an FK dialog—see the following table. Press the FK
button a second time to deselect the soft keys.
The name of the file created by the TNC consists of the
old file name plus the extension _nc. Example:
„ File name of the FK program: LEVER.H
„ File name of the conversational dialog program
converted by the TNC: LEVEL_nc.h
The resolution of the created conversational program is
0.1 µm.
After the converted NC blocks, the converted program
includes the comment SNR and a number. The number
indicates the block number of the FK program from which
the respective conversational block was calculated.
