Actually, it is read-only from the CNC and DNC and it can only be used inside a tool-change subroutine. OPMODE Variable This variable also returns the following code: 25 56 57 117 Rapid simulation with S=0 User parameter table OEM parameter table Oscilloscope. Connection of the KS50/55 adapter: The installation manual describes how to use this adapter, but the correct connection is the following: X1 25-pin female SUB-D type (normal density) connector to connect the "Central Unit + Monitor". X2 25-pin female SUB-D type (normal density) connector to connect the "Alphanumeric keyboard + Monitor". X3 25-pin female SUB-D type (normal density) connector to connect the "Operator panel". X4 3-pin male Phoenix connector, 7,62 mm pitch, to select the keyboard to be attended by the Central Unit. Pin 1 2 3 Value 0V 24V ---GND Meaning The CNC attends to the operator panel The CNC attends to the alphanumeric keyboard Not being used External power supply NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) Detected errors If connector X4 is not supplied with voltage, the CNC attends to the operator panel. Page 1 of 46 8040 CNC VERSION 8.01 8040 CNC 2 The meaningless zeros will not be displayed From this version on, the data displayed on the screen (positions, feedrates, etc.) will not display the meaningless zeros to the left of the value. Example: From this version on Previous versions Z -4.210 Z -00004.210 3 Management of the new Sercos board This software version is ready to work with the new Sercos boards, reference: 902103 and newer. The "Hardware diagnosis" function shows these boards as "SERCOS816" because they carry the SERCON 816 chip. 4 Key inhibiting codes for the monitors The inhibiting codes for softkeys F1 through F7 of monitors models such as "NMON-55-11-LCD" are: F1 Bit 24 R508 F2 Bit 25 R508 F3 Bit 26 R508 F4 Bit 27 R508 F5 Bit 28 R508 F6 Bit 29 R508 F7 Bit 30 R508 5 New work languages Basque and Russian are now available from this version on. LANGUAGE (P122) Defines the work language Possible values: 0 English 3 Italian 6 Portuguese 9 Mainland Chinese 1 4 7 10 Spanish German Czech Basque 2 5 8 11 French Dutch Polish Russian By default 0 6 Load version without using an external microprocessor. This feature is available on 8040 CNC models whose identifying label shows "03 A" or later and whose software version is V08.01 or later. NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) It is not necessary to turn the CNC off and back on or actuate the external switch to update the software version, as indicated in section 2.2 of the Operating Manual. To update the CNC software, proceed as follows: · Remove the "Memkey Card" and insert the "Memory Card" that contains the software version to be updated. Access the Diagnosis mode - Software Configuration and press the [Load version] softkey. The CNC will show the software updating stages and their status. The meaningless zeros will not be displayed · Page 2 of 46 Note: · · If the "[load version]" softkey is pressed but the Memory Card containing the software version is missing, the CNC will issue the relevant error message. The CNC cannot execute anything if it has the Memory Card that contains the software version. 7 WINDNC improvements From this CNC version on and having WINDNC version V2.0 and the following, it is possible: · (a) Select the work unit for CNC files Option (a). Then indicate the desired work unit: Memory (b), Hard Disk (c) or Card A (d). From a PC, using the WINDNC application, copy from the CNC to the PC or vice versa, any file, program or table available in the CARDA or hard disk. The available new tables are: OEP USP DRS DS2 DPX DRX, DRY, DRZ, DRU, DRV, DRW, DRA, DRB, DRC OEM arithmetic parameters USER arithmetic parameters Spindle drive table Table of the Second Spindle drive Table for the Auxiliary spindle drive Tables for axis drives (b) (c) (d) · These tables are compatible with the tables that have been saved from the drive to a PC via serial line using WINDDS. · Consult the table directory (machine parameters, zero offsets, magazine, tools, tool offsets, geometry, user parameter, OEM parameter, etc.). Read global and local arithmetic parameters individually using variables GUPn and LUP(a,b). The installation and programming manuals describe how to use these variables. Having telediagnosis, display CNC screens at the PC in remote mode via serial line or via MODEM. Having telediagnosis, dial the telephone number associated with the modem at the PC. · · · NEW FEATURES (SOFT T: 8.XX) WINDNC improvements Page 3 of 46 8040 CNC · When done updating it, remove the "Memory Card" that contains the software version and insert the "Memkey Card" back. 8040 CNC 8 Telediagnosis It may be used to govern and monitor the CNC status remotely through the RS232 serial line or using a modem through a telephone line.
