Heidenhain ~ command not processed

paehv · 2017-08-29 10:57:56

Simulating Heidenhain probing cycles is almost driving me crazy

In my existing controller (based on Hei530.ctl from some version back) I try to get the probing cycles going.
For good reasons I can't update to the latest Hei530.ctl from the cgtech library.

What happens is that on the TCH PROBE line the correct probing cycle is called, but NONE of the following Q parameters get set.
Because the word ~ is set as > Special > Contiuation, I would expect that the whole cycle block would be interpreted as one block, but is is still treated as seperate lines???

5 L X+50 Y+50 Z+100 R0 FMAX
6 TCH PROBE 431 MEASURE PLANE ~
Q263=+10 ;1ST POINT 1ST AXIS ~
Q264=+3 ;1ST POINT 2ND AXIS ~
Q294=-4 ;1ST POINT 3RD AXIS ~
Q265=+45 ;2ND PNT IN 1ST AXIS ~
Q266=+3 ;2ND PNT IN 2ND AXIS ~
Q295=-25 ;2ND PNT IN 3RD AXIS ~
Q296=+46 ;3RD PNT IN 1ST AXIS ~
Q297=+42 ;3RD PNT IN 2ND AXIS ~
Q298=-4 ;3RD PNT IN 3RD AXIS ~
Q320=+2 ;SET-UP CLEARANCE ~
Q260=+100 ;CLEARANCE HEIGHT ~
Q281=+2 ;MEASURING LOG

I've set the ~ word as Special > Continuation
In the events there is the SetPreProcessorType macro with override 6

When I load the Hei530.ctl from the V8.0.3 library, It reads all belonging Q parameter when entering the TCH PROBE line

I'm sure that there must be antother setting that i'm missing.
Any ideas?

Hi Patrick,
I don't know anything about Heidehain, but Perhaps ..

If ; is set as begin comment, it may be reading the ~ as just part of a message.

Thats what the SetPreProcessorType macro with override 6 should take care off.

<quote>
SetPreProcessorType
Function — MISCELLANEOUS
Status — ACTIVE
Comment — Added V7.0.2
Inputs —
Text: Not Used
Value: Use to specify the type po preprocessor
0 = No preprocessor used (Default)
1 = Preprocessor to parse blocks of Siemens 3T type data.
2 = Preprocessor to parse blocks of MAKA BWO C900 type data.
3 = Preprocessor to parse blocks of Elexa E580 (and E560) data.
4 = Preprocessor to parse blocks of Bosch Rexroth Indramotion MTS data.
5 = Preprocessor to parse blocks of Siemens 840D data
6 = Preprocessor for Heidenhain data
Controls what type of preprocessor is required to translate NC code to a more standard

Value = 6: For “TCH PROBE” and “CYCLE DEF” statements, comments are stripped out.
For “TCH PROBE 0.0”, Statements like: “TCH PROBE 0.0 REF. PLANE Q1000
X+” are converted to: “TCH PROBE 0.0 X+1000”

Hi Patrick, I can recommend you start from the latest library control, it has many standard HH probing cycles supported, including TCH PROBE 431. Also see samples "hei530_probing_....vcproject"

When time permits! I need to work on the probing for our hei530_probing. I'm hoping to get some great info / insight for this thru this thread.

I did get it going by having the post to output an extra comment line after the cycle witch tells Vericut to start simulating the cycle.

5 L X+50 Y+50 Z+100 R0 FMAX
6 TCH PROBE 431 MEASURE PLANE ~
Q263=+10 ;1ST POINT 1ST AXIS ~
Q264=+3 ;1ST POINT 2ND AXIS ~
Q294=-4 ;1ST POINT 3RD AXIS ~
Q265=+45 ;2ND PNT IN 1ST AXIS ~
Q266=+3 ;2ND PNT IN 2ND AXIS ~
Q295=-25 ;2ND PNT IN 3RD AXIS ~
Q296=+46 ;3RD PNT IN 1ST AXIS ~
Q297=+42 ;3RD PNT IN 2ND AXIS ~
Q298=-4 ;3RD PNT IN 3RD AXIS ~
Q320=+2 ;SET-UP CLEARANCE ~
Q260=+100 ;CLEARANCE HEIGHT ~
Q281=+2 ;MEASURING LOG
7 ;EXECUTE PROBE 431

The TCH PROBE cycle is read line for line by Vericut and the Q variables are set
Line 7 (;EXECUTE PROBE 431) call the cycle by using a simple substitute command (Replace ;EXECUTE... by CALL...)
