HSCI control components
Main computers

Main computer The MC main computers feature:

• Processor
• RAM memory
• HSCI interface to the controller unit and to other control
components
• HDL interface to the BF monitor (for electrical cabinet versions)
• 4 x USB 3.0 interface, e.g. to the TE 7x5 keyboard unit
To be ordered separately, and installed in the main computer by
the OEM:
• HDR or SSDR storage medium with the NC software
• The System Identification Key (SIK) component holds the NC
software license for enabling control loops and software options.

The following HSCI components are necessary for operation of

the TNC 640:
• MC main computer
• Controller unit
• PLC PLB 62xx I/O unit (system PL; integrated in UxC)
• Machine operating panel MB 72x (integrated in TE 7x5) or
PLB 600x HSCI adapter for connection of an OEM machine
operating panel

Interfaces The standard MC main computers feature USB 3.0,

V.24/RS-232-C, and Ethernet interfaces for use by the end
user. Connection to PROFINET-DP or PROFIBUS-IO is possible
either via additional modules or via a combined PROFINET-DP/
PROFIBUS-IO module.

Power supply The DC 24 V supply voltage to the main computer and other
HSCI components is provided by the PSL 13x power supply unit
with the supply voltage 24 V-NC or by the power supply of a UEC
compact inverter. For the entire HSCI system, this DC 24 V-NC
supply voltage is required to be safely separated voltage (PELV).
It must not be connected to the DC 24 V supply voltage for PLC
components (e.g., holding brakes).

Export version Because the complete NC software is on the storage medium,

no export version is required for the main computer itself. Only
the easily replaceable storage medium and SIK component are
available as an export version.

15
Versions Various versions of the MC main computer are available:
• For installation in the electrical cabinet
The MC 6x4x is installed in the electrical cabinet. HSCI, USB,
and HDL cables to the operating panel are required as control
lines
• For installation in the operating panel

SIK component The SIK component contains the NC software license for
enabling control loops and software options. It provides the main
computer with an unambiguous ID code—the SIK number. The
SIK component is ordered and shipped separately. It must be
inserted into a special slot in the MC main computer.

The SIK component with the NC software license is available in SIK component
various versions, depending on the enabled control loops and
options. Additional control loops can be enabled later by entering a
keyword. HEIDENHAIN provides the keyword, which is based on
the SIK number.

When ordering, please provide the SIK number of your control.

When the keywords are entered in the control, they are saved
in the SIK component. This enables and activates the options.
Should servicing become necessary, the SIK component must be
inserted into the replacement control in order to enable all of the
required options.

Master keyword For the commissioning of the TNC 640, there is a master keyword
(general key) (general key) that enables all options for a single 90-day period.
After this period, only those options with the correct keywords will
be active. The general key is activated via a soft key.

17
TNCkeygen TNCkeygen is a collection of PC software tools for generating
(accessory) enabling keys for HEIDENHAIN controls for a limited period of
time.

With OEM Key Generator, you can generate enabling keys for
software options by entering the SIK number, the option to be
enabled, the duration, and a manufacturer-specific password. The
enabling period is limited to 10 to 90 days. Each option can be
enabled only once. This option enabling is independent of the
general key.

The OEM daily key generator generates an enabling key for the
protected OEM area. The operator is thereby given access to the
area on the day the key was generated.

Controller unit

Controller unit Due to the very short cycle times of the position, speed, and
current controllers, the controller units from HEIDENHAIN are
equally suited for conventional drives, for direct drives (linear
motors, torque motors), and for HSC spindles. They permit a high
loop gain and short reaction times to changing machining forces,
and so make the high contour accuracy and surface quality of the
workpiece possible.

Single speed Single-speed control loops are usually sufficient for linear or
Double speed torque motors and for conventional axes. Double-speed control
loops are preferred for HSC spindles and axes that are difficult to
control (option 49). In the default setting, all axes are set to single
speed. Each axis that is switched from single speed to double
speed can reduce the number of available control loops by one.
At a PWM frequency greater than 5 kHz, double speed is always
required. This requires option 49 to be enabled.

can also be ordered as needed later.

For more than 10 control loops, an HSCI line is used to combine

the controller units. For example:

CC 6106 + CC 6106 for up to 12 control loops

CC 6106 + CC 6108 for up to 14 control loops
CC 6110 + CC 6108 for up to 18 control loops

Constraints:
• Up to 24 control loops (22 control loops with functional safety
(FS)) can be activated, of which up to 4 can be configured as
spindles
• Maximum of 4 controller motherboards are permissible
in the HSCI system (CC 6106 contains one motherboard,
CC 6108/CC 6110 each have two)

Adapter The adapter connector makes it possible for applications with
connector for purely serial EnDat 2.2 encoders to connect an external KTY or
temperature PT 1000 temperature sensor (e.g. of linear and torque motors) and
sensor lead it to the speed encoder input of the controller unit.

The adapter connector can also be used in conjunction with

encoders with EnDat02 or 1 VPP interface. The adapter connector
is plugged directly onto the speed encoder input (X15 to X20) of
the controller unit.

Power supply for HSCI components

PSL 13x HEIDENHAIN offers the PSL 13x power supply unit in order
to power the HSCI components. Either line voltage and DC-
link voltage or only line voltage is provided to the PSL 13x. The
PSL 13x provides the safely separated DC 24 V PELV NC power
supply required for the HSCI components by EN 61800-5-1. The
NC supply voltage and the PLC supply voltage are separated from
each other by basic insulation.

Supply • PSL 13x (L1, L2): AC 400 V (360 V to 480 V),

voltage 50/60 Hz
• PSL 13x (DC-link voltage): DC 400 V to 750 V
• Power consumption ≤1000 W
Outputs NC: DC 24 V/≤ 20 A
(double insulation from line power)
DC 5 V/≤ 16 A (only for PSL 135) PSL 130
electrically connected with DC 24 V NC
PLC: DC 24 V/≤ 20 A (basic insulation from line
power)
Total: ≤ 32 A/750 W

The PSL 130 serves as a DC 24 V power supply unit for supplying

the HSCI components. It is not necessary in connection with
the UEC if the total current consumption of the connected HSCI
components does not exceed 3.5 A.

Additional modules

Overview The additional modules are directly connected to the HSCI control
system through a slot on the MC main computer, on the CC
controller unit, or on the UEC or UMC inverter.

Module for analog Digital drive designs sometimes also require analog axes or
axes spindles. The additional module CMA-H 04-04-00 (Controller
Module Analog—HSCI) makes it possible to integrate analog servo
drives in an HSCI system.

The CMA-H is integrated into the HSCI control system via a slot
on the underside of the CC or UEC. Every controller unit has slots
for two boards. The CMA-H does not increase the total number
of available axes: every analog axis used reduces the number of
available digital control loops by one. Analog control loops also
need to be enabled on the SIK. The analog control-loop outputs
can be accessed only via the NC, not via the PLC.

Additional module for analog axes/spindles:

• Expansion board for CC 61xx or UEC controller units
• 4 analog outputs, ±10 V for axes/spindle
• Spring-type plug-in terminals
CMA-H 04-04-00
CMA-H 04-04-00 ID 688721-xx

Fieldbus systems An expansion board can be used to provide the TNC 640 with
a PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface at any time. The modules
are integrated in the control system by using a slot on the MC.
This makes the connection to an appropriate fieldbus system as
master possible. As of version 3.0, the interface is configured with
IOconfig.

Touch probes

Overview Touch probes for tool and workpiece measurement are connected
via the system PL 62xx or the UEC/UMC. These touch probes
generate a trigger signal that saves the current position value
to the NC. The EnDat interface makes touch probes intelligent
and allows for greater convenience when connecting them to
HEIDENHAIN controls. For more information on touch probes,
please refer to the Touch Probes for Machine Tools brochure
(ID 1113984).

Workpiece The TS touch trigger probes feature a stylus for probing

measurement workpieces. HEIDENHAIN controls feature standard routines for
aligning and measuring workpieces, and for setting presets. The
touch probes are available with various clamping shanks. Assorted
styli are available as accessories.

Tool The touch probes for tool measurement from HEIDENHAIN
measurement are suited for probing stationary or rotating tools directly on
the machine. The TNC 640 features standard cycles for the
measurement of tool length and diameter, as well as of individual
teeth. The TNC 640 automatically saves the measured tool
dimensions in a tool table. It is also possible to measure tool wear
between two machining steps. For the next machining operation,
the TNC 640 automatically compensates for the tool dimensions
or inserts a replacement tool (as when a tool breaks).

With the TT touch trigger probes, the disk-shaped probe contact

is deflected from its resting position by contact with the stationary
or rotating tool, and a trigger signal is transmitted to the TNC 640.

TT 160 New generation touch probe; signal transmission to the control

over connecting cable

Industrial PC

Additional The additional ITC operating stations (Industrial Thin Clients)

operating station from HEIDENHAIN are convenient solutions for the additional,
decentralized operation of the machine or of machine units such
as tool-changing stations. The remote operation strategy, which
is tailored to the TNC 640, makes it very easy to connect the ITC
over a standard Ethernet connection with a cable length of up to
100 m.

Connecting an ITC is very easy: As soon as the TNC 640 identifies

an ITC, it provides it with a current operating system. After the
ITC has been started, the complete content of the main screen is
mirrored to the ITC's screen. As a result of this plug&play principle,
no configuration by the machine tool builder is necessary. With the
standard configuration of the Ethernet interface at X116, the TNC
640 integrates the ITC into the system fully selfsufficiently.
ITC 755

With touchscreen The ITC 755 is a compact additional operating station for control
systems with a 15-inch or 19-inch main screen. Along with the
ASCII keyboard and touchscreen it also has the most important
function keys of the TNC 640 The ITC 755 adjusts its resolution
automatically to fit the size of the main screen. The soft keys are
pressed on the touchscreen.

The ITC 860 (19-inch screen) and the keyboard unit (to be ordered

Controlling of auxiliary axes

PNC 610 The PNC 610 auxiliary axis control is designed for controlling
PLC axes independently of the TNC 640. The PNC 610 does
not have an NC channel and thus cannot perform interpolating
NC movements. With the IPC auxiliary computer, SIK, and CFR
storage medium, the PNC 610 is a separate HSCl system, which
can be expanded with HEIDENHAIN inverters. The standard
PNC 610 features enabling for six PLC axes.

The system’s design is identical to that of the TNC 640. All

relevant HEIDENHAIN tools and a basic program can be used.
The position information can be transmitted over PROFIBUS DP
(optional), PROFINET IO (optional), or TCP/IP (integrated, system is
not capable of real-time), regardless of the platform.

Auxiliary computer The IPC auxiliary computer features the following:

• Processor
• RAM memory
• HSCI interface to the CC 6xxx or UEC controller unit and to
other control components
• USB 3.0 interface
The following components must be ordered separately by the
OEM and installed in the auxiliary computer:
• CFR CompactFlash memory card with the NC software
• System ldentification Key component (SIK) for enabling software
options

The following HSCI components are required for operation of the

TNC 640:
• IPC auxiliary computer
• Controller unit
• PLB 62xx PLC input/output unit (system PL; integrated in UEC/
UMC)

Interfaces The MC offers the end user USB 3.0, V.24/RS-232-C, and Ethernet
interfaces. Connection to PROFINET-IO or PROFIBUS-DP is
possible through an additional module.

Power supply The DC 24 V power supply of the auxiliary computer and other
HSCI components is provided through the PSL 13x supply unit
with a supply voltage of 24 V-NC, or through the power supply
of a UEC compact inverter. For the entire HSCI system, this
DC 24 V-NC supply voltage is required to be safely separated
voltage (PELV). It must not be connected to the DC 24 V supply
voltage for PLC components (e.g., holding brakes).

Technical description
Digital control design

Uniformly digital In the uniformly digital control design from HEIDENHAIN, all
of the components are connected to each other via purely
digital interfaces. The control components are connected via the
HEIDENHAIN Serial Controller Interface (HSCI), the HEIDENHAIN
real-time protocol for fast Ethernet. The encoders are connected
over EnDat 2.2, the bidirectional interface from HEIDENHAIN.
A high degree of availability for the entire system, from the
main computer to the encoder, is thereby achieved, with the
system being diagnosable and immune to noise. The outstanding
characteristics of the uniformly digital design from HEIDENHAIN
guarantee very high accuracy and surface finish quality, combined
with high traversing speeds. For more information, refer to the
Uniformly Digital Technical Information document.

HSCI HSCI, the HEIDENHAIN Serial Controller Interface, connects the

main computer, controller(s), and other control components. The
connection between two HSCI components is referred to as an
HSCI segment. HSCI is based on 100BaseT Ethernet hardware.
A special interface component developed by HEIDENHAIN makes
short cycle times for data transfer possible.

Main advantages of the control design with HSCI:

• Hardware platform for a flexible and scalable control system (e.g.
decentralized axis systems)
• High noise immunity due to digital communication between
components
• Hardware basis for implementing “functional safety”
• Simple wiring (commissioning, configuration)
• Inverter connection via the tried-and-tested PWM interface
• Large cable lengths in the entire system (HSCI segment up to
max. 70 m)
• High number of possible control loops
• High number of PLC inputs/outputs
• Decentralized arrangement of the controller units
CC or UEC controller units, up to nine PL 6000 PLC I/O modules,
and machine operating panels (e.g., MB 72x from HEIDENHAIN)
can be connected to the serial HSCI bus of the MC main
computer. The HR handwheel is connected directly to the
machine operating panel. The combination of monitor and main
computer is especially advantageous if the computer is housed
in the operating panel. Besides the power supply, all that is then
required is an HSCI line to the controller unit in the electrical
cabinet.

Maximum cable lengths for HSCI:

• For one HSCI segment: 70 m
• For up to 12 HSCI slaves: 290 m (total of HSCI segments)
• For up to 13 HSCI slaves (maximum configuration): 180 m (total of
HSCI segments)

is listed below.

Control systems with integrated functional safety (FS)

Basic principle With controls featuring integrated functional safety (FS) from
HEIDENHAIN, it is possible to attain Safety Integrity Level 2
(SIL 2) in accordance with EN 61508, and Performance
Level “d,”Category 3, as per EN ISO 13849-1 (successor standard
to EN 954-1). In these standards, the assessment of safety-
related systems is based on, among other things, the failure
probabilities of integrated components and subsystems. This
modular approach aids the manufacturers of safety-related
machines in implementing their systems, since they can then
build upon prequalified subsystems. This design is taken into
account for the TNC 640 control, as well as for safety-related
position encoders. Two redundant, mutually independent safety
channels form the basis of the controls with functional safety (FS).
All safety-relevant signals are captured, processed, and output via
two channels. Errors are detected through the mutual comparison
of the states and data of both channels. Therefore, the occurrence
of a single error in the control does not result in a loss of the safety
function.

Structure The safety-related controls from HEIDENHAIN have a dual-

channel design with mutual monitoring. The SPLC (safety-related
PLC program) and SKERN (safety kernel software) software
processes are the basis of the two redundant systems. The two
software processes run on the MC main computer (CPU) and CC
controller unit components. The dual-channel structure through
MC and CC is continued in the PLB 6xxx FS input/output systems
and the MB 720 FS. This means that all safety-relevant signals
(e.g., permissive buttons and keys, door contacts, emergency
stop button) are captured via two channels and are evaluated
independently of each other by the MC and CC. The MC and CC
use separate channels to also address the power modules and to
stop the drives in case of an error.

Components In systems with functional safety, certain hardware components

assume safety-relevant tasks. Systems with FS must consist of
only those safety-relevant components, including their variants,
which HEIDENHAIN has approved for use!

Control components with functional safety are indicated by the

suffix “FS” following the model designation (e.g., MB 72x FS).

MB and TE An MB machine operating panel with functional safety (FS) is

indispensable for systems with FS. Only on such a machine
operating panel do all keys have a dual-channel design. Axes can
be moved without additional permissive keys.

PLB In systems with functional safety (FS), a combination of hardware

(FS and standard) is possible, but a PLB 62xx FS is mandatory.

HR FS handwheels are required in systems with functional safety

because only they have the required cross-circuit-proof permissive
buttons.

For a current list of components approved for FS, see the

Functional Safety FS Technical Manual.

59
Safety functions The following safety functions are integrated into the hardware
and software:
• Safe stop reactions (SS0, SS1, and SS2)
• Safe torque off (STO)
• Safe operating stop (SOS)
• Safely limited speed (SLS)
• Safely limited position (SLP)
• Safe brake control (SBC)
• Safe operating modes
– Operating mode 1: Automated or production mode
– Operating mode 2: Set-up mode
– Operating mode 3: Manual intervention
– Operating mode 4: Advanced manual intervention, process
monitoring

Please note:
The complete feature content is not yet available for all machine
types with functional safety (FS). Before planning a machine with
functional safety, please inform yourself of whether the current
scope of features suffices for your machine design.

Activation If the control identifies a PLB 62xx FS in the system during

of functional booting, functional safety (FS) is activated.
safety (FS)
In this case, it is essential that the following prerequisites be
fulfilled:
• FS version of safety-relevant control components (e. g.
TE 745 FS, HR 550 FS)
• Safety-related SPLC program
• Configuration of safe machine parameters
• Wiring of the machine for systems with functional safety
Functional safety (FS) cannot be activated or deactivated by
parameter.

For more For more information on the topic of functional safety (FS),
information refer to the Technical Information documents Safety-Related
Control Technology for Machine Tools and Safety-Related Position
Encoders.

For details, see the Functional Safety FS Technical Manual. Your

contact person at HEIDENHAIN will be glad to answer any
questions concerning controls with functional safety (FS).

60
Control systems with external safety

Basic principle In control systems without integrated functional safety (FS), no

integrated safety functions, such as safe operating modes, safe
speed monitoring, or safe operating stop, are available. Such
functions must be implemented entirely with the help of external
safety components.

Control systems without integrated functional safety (FS) solely

support the realization of the safety functions STO (safe torque
off: dual-channel interruption of the motor power supply) and SBC
(safe brake control: dual-channel triggering of the motor holding
brakes). The dual-channel redundancy of the functions must be
realized by the OEM through appropriate wiring.

61
Operating system

HEROS 5 The TNC 640 and PNC 610 work with the real-time capable
HEROS 5 operating system (HEIDENHAIN Realtime Operating
System). This future-oriented operating system contains the
following powerful functions as part of its standard repertoire:
Network
– Network: management of network settings
– Remote Desktop Manager: management of remote
applications
– Printer: management of printers
– Shares: management of network shares
– VNC: virtual network computing server
Safety
– Portscan (OEM): port scanner
– Firewall: protection against undesired network access
– SELinux: protection against unauthorized changes to system
files
– Sandbox: running applications in separated environments
System
– Backup/Restore: function for backing-up and restoring the
control
– HELogging: evaluation and creation of log files
– Perf2: system monitor
– User administration: define users with different roles and
access permissions
Tools
– Web browser: Firefox®*
– Document Viewer: display PDF, TXT, XLS, and JPEG files
– File Manager: file explorer for managing files and memory
media
– Gnumeric: spreadsheet calculations
– Leafpad: text editor for creating notes
– Ristretto: display of image files
– Orage Calendar: simple calendar function
– Screenshot: creation of screendumps
– Totem: media player for playing audio and video files

User The improper operation of a control often leads to unplanned

administration machine downtime and costly scrap. The user administration
feature can significantly improve process reliability through
the systematic avoidance of improper operation. Through the
configurable tying of permissions to user roles, access rights can
be tailored to the given responsibilities of each operator.

• Logging on to the control with a user account

• User-specific HOME folder for simplified data management
• Role-based access to the control and network data

The machine tool builder defines the traverse range. The user can
set additional limits to the traverse range if he wishes to reduce
the working space. Various traverse ranges can be defined per axis
using parameter sets (selection by PLC).

Free rotation For milling-turning operations, the rotary axis can be started via
the PLC with a defined feed rate. For functions specific to milling/
turning machines, see Turning.

Cylinder surface A contour defined in the working plane is machined on a cylindrical

interpolation surface.

63
Tilting the The TNC 640 has special coordinate transformation cycles for
working plane controlling swivel heads and tilting tables. The tool lengths and
(option 8) offset of the tilting axes are compensated by the TNC.

The TNC can manage more than one machine configuration (e.g.,
different swivel heads).

Tilting table

5-axis machining Tool Center Point Management (TCPM)

(option 9) The offset of the tilting axes is compensated for in a manner
such that the position of the tool tip relative to the contour is
maintained. Even during machining, handwheel positioning
commands can be superimposed such that the tool tip remains on
the programmed contour.

Synchronized Synchronized axes move in synchronism and are programmed

axes with the same axis designation.

With HEIDENHAIN controls, parallel axis systems (gantry axes)

such as on portal-type machines or tilting tables can be moved
synchronously to each other through high-accuracy and dynamic
position control.

In the case of gantry axes, multiple gantry slave axes can be

assigned to a single master axis. They may also be distributed to
multiple controller units.

Torque control Torque control is used on machines with mechanically coupled

motors, for which
• a defined distribution of drive torque is desired,
or
• parts of the controlled system show a backlash effect that can
be eliminated by “tensioning” the servo drives (e.g. toothed
racks).

For torque control, the master and slave must be on the same
controller motherboard. Depending on the controller unit being
used, up to five slave axes can thereby be configured for each
master.

64
Real-time The real-time coupling function (synchronizing functions) allows
coupling function the cyclic calculation of a position offset for an axis from the actual
(option 135) and nominal values of any other axes in the system. This enables
you to realize complex simultaneous movements of several NC
or PLC axes. The mutual dependence of the axes is defined in
mathematical formulas. u

Batch Process Batch Process Manager provides functions for the planning
Manager and execution of multiple production jobs on the TNC. It makes
(option 154) it possible to easily edit pallets and to alter the sequence of
pending jobs. Moreover, Batch Process Manager performs a
look-ahead calculation for all planned jobs or NC programs and
informs the operator about whether all of the NC programs can be
executed error-free, for example, or whether all necessary tools
are available with sufficient service life. Batch Process Manager
thereby ensures the smooth execution of the planned jobs. The
Batch Process Manager option requires option 93 (Extended
Tool Management) and option 22 (Pallet Management) to also be
enabled.

Global PGM The functions provided by global program settings allow adaptation
Settings of the machining process without changing the original NC
(option 44) program. This makes it easy to mirror axes or activate additional
offsets, for example. The TNC 640 also provides the ability to use
handwheel superimpositioning in various coordinate systems
and utilize virtual tool axes. This function is typically employed in
toolmaking and mold manufacturing.

PLC axes Axes can be defined as PLC axes. Programming is performed

through M functions or OEM cycles. The PLC axes are positioned
independently of the NC axes and are therefore designated as
asynchronous axes.

65
Turning

Performing The TNC 640 supports machines that can perform a

turning combination of milling and turning operations in a single
operations setup. It offers the operator a comprehensive package of
(option 50) cycles for both types of operations, which are programmed in
HEIDENHAIN’s workshop-oriented Klartext format. Rotationally
symmetric contours are produced during turning operations. The
preset must be in the center of the lathe spindle for this.

In turning mode, the rotary table serves as the lathe spindle, while
the milling spindle with the tool remains stationary. Milling-turning
machines are subject to special demands. A basic prerequisite
is a machine designed with high rigidity so as to ensure a low
oscillation tendency even when the machine table (acting as a
lathe spindle) is turning at high speeds.

66
Toggling between During the transition between milling and turning mode, the TNC
milling and switches diameter programming on or off, selects the XZ working
turning modes plane for turning, and displays "Milling" and "Turning" mode in the
status display.

The machine operator executes the switch between turning and

milling mode using the NC command FUNCTION MODE TURN
or FUNCTION MODE MILL. The machine-specific procedures
necessary for this are realized via OEM macros. In these macros,
the OEM defines, for example, which kinematic model is active
for the turning or milling operation, and which axis and spindle
parameters take effect in milling or turning mode. Because
the FUNCTION MODE TURN and FUNCTION MODE MILL
commands are independent of the machine model, NC programs
can be exchanged between different types of machines.

Support for facing With complete support for facing slides, the TNC 640 provides a
slides (facing further way of performing turning operations on a milling machine.
heads) A longitudinal turning tool, for example, is mounted on the facing
slide and is called with a TOOL CALL block. Even complex turning
operations are programmed with familiar ease using cycles.
Machining operations with the facing slide can be carried out with
the TNC 640 in any inclination (PLANE functions). In addition,
numerous useful turning functions are available, such as constant
surface speed. The use of facing slides requires option 50 for
turning to be enabled on the TNC 640.

Measuring the An important and basic prerequisite for turning operations is

unbalance – that the radial runout of the workpiece has been balanced. Both
Balancing the machine (rotary table) and the workpiece must be balanced
before machining. If the clamped workpiece has an unbalance,
undesirable centrifugal forces can result, thereby influencing the
accuracy of the runout.

An unbalance of the rotary table can endanger the machine

operator, as well as lower the quality of the workpiece and reduce
the machine’s lifetime.

The TNC 640 can detect an unbalance in the rotary table based on
the effects of the centrifugal forces on neighboring linear axes. To
this end, the rotary table should ideally be positioned via a linear
axis. For other machine designs, unbalance detection by means of
external sensors lends itself as a solution.

The TNC 640 features the following functions:

• Unbalance calibration
A calibration cycle determines the unbalance behavior of the
rotary table. This unbalance calibration is generally performed
by the OEM before the machine is shipped. During execution of
the calibration cycle, the TNC generates a table describing the
unbalance behavior of the rotary table.
• Balancing
After clamping a workpiece to be turned, the machine operator
can determine the current unbalance by means of a measuring
cycle. During balancing, the TNC assists the machine operator
by indicating the mass and position of the balancing weights.
• Unbalance monitoring
During the machining operation, the TNC continually monitors
the unbalance. An NC stop is triggered if a specified limit value
is exceeded.

68
Spindle

Overview The TNC 640 contouring control is used in conjunction with the
HEIDENHAIN inverter systems with field-oriented control. As an
alternative, an analog nominal speed value can be output.

Controller unit With the CC controller units and the UEC/UMC inverters, a
fundamental PWM frequency can be set for each controller
assembly (e.g., 4 kHz). Possible fundamental frequencies are
3.33 kHz, 4 kHz, or 5 kHz. The Double Speed option (option 49)
allows this frequency to be increased to up to 16 kHz for high-
speed spindles (e.g., for HF spindles). See the Technical Manual.

Controller groups For example with CC 6106

1: X51 + X52
2: X53 + X54
3: X55 + X56

Maximum spindle The maximum spindle speed is calculated as follows:

speed
nmax = f PWM . 60000 rpm
NPP . 5000 Hz
fPWM = PWM frequency in Hz
NPP = Number of pole pairs

Operating mode For controlling the spindle, different parameter sets can be saved
switchover for closed-loop control (e.g., for wye or delta connections). You can
switch between the parameter sets in the PLC.

Position- The position of the spindle is monitored by the control.

Tapping There are special cycles for tapping with or without floating tap

operated under position control.

Spindle With a position-controlled spindle, the spindle can be positioned

orientation exactly to 0.1°.

Spindle override 0 % to 150 %

Gear ranges A separate nominal speed is defined for each gear range. The gear
code is output via the PLC.

Multiple main Up to four spindles can be controlled alternately. The spindles are
spindles switched by the PLC. One control loop is required for each active
spindle.

Spindle The spindle synchronization option synchronizes the shaft speeds

synchronism of two or more spindles. Spindle synchronization is also possible
(option 131) with a transmission ratio or a defined offset.

69
Encoders

Overview For speed and position control of the axes and spindle,
HEIDENHAIN offers both incremental and absolute encoders.

Incremental Incremental encoders have as their measuring standard a grating

encoders consisting of alternating lines and spaces. Relative movement
between the scanning head and the scale causes the output of
sinusoidal scanning signals. The measured value is calculated by
counting the signals.

Reference mark When the machine is switched on, the machine axes need
to traverse a reference mark for an accurate reference to be
established between the measured value and the machine
position. For encoders with distance-coded reference marks,
the maximum travel until automatic reference mark evaluation
for linear encoders is only 20 mm or 80 mm, depending on the
model, or 10° or 20° for angle encoders.

Evaluation of The routine for traversing the reference marks can also be started
reference marks for specific axes via the PLC during operation (reactivation of
parked axes).

Output signals Incremental encoders with sinusoidal output signals with ~ 1 VPP
levels are suitable for connection to HEIDENHAIN numerical
controls.

Absolute With absolute encoders, the position information is contained

encoders in several coded tracks. Thus, an absolute reference is available
immediately after switch-on. A reference-mark traverse is not
necessary. Additional incremental signals are output for highly
dynamic control loops.

EnDat interface The TNC 640 features the serial EnDat 2.2 interface (includes
EnDat 2.1) for the connection of absolute encoders.

Note: The EnDat interface on HEIDENHAIN encoders differs in

its pin assignment from the interface on Siemens motors with
integrated absolute ECN/EQN rotary encoders. Special adapter
cables are available.

Encoder inputs Incremental and absolute linear, angle, or rotary encoders from
HEIDENHAIN can be connected to all position encoder inputs of
the controller unit.

Incremental and absolute rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN can

be connected to all speed encoder inputs of the controller unit.

Digital servo control

Integrated inverter Position controllers, speed controllers, current controllers,

and inverters are integrated in the TNC 640. HEIDENHAIN
synchronous or asynchronous motors are connected to the
TNC 640.

Axis feedback The TNC 640 can be operated with following error or feedforward
control control. During roughing operations at high speeds, for example,
you can switch to velocity semi-feedforward control via an OEM
cycle in order to machine faster at reduced accuracy.

Operation with The term “following error” denotes the distance between the
following error momentary nominal position and the actual position of the axis.
The velocity is calculated as follows:

v = kv · sa v = Velocity
kv = Position loop gain
sa = Following error

Operation with Feedforward means that a given velocity and acceleration are
feedforward adapted to the machine. Together with the values calculated from
control the following error, this given velocity and acceleration becomes
the nominal value. A much lower following error thereby manifests
itself (in the range of only a few microns).

Compensation of The torque of synchronous, torque, and linear motors is subject

torque ripples to periodic oscillations, one cause of which can be permanent
magnets. The amplitude of this torque ripple depends on the
motor design, and under certain circumstances can have an
effect on the workpiece surface. After the axes have been
commissioned with the TNCopt software, the Torque Ripple
Compensation (TRC) of the CC 61xx or UEC 11x can be used to
compensate it.

71
Control loop cycle The cycle time for path interpolation is defined as the time
times interval during which interpolation points on the path are
calculated. The cycle time for fine interpolation is defined as the
time interval during which interpolation points are calculated that
lie within the interpolation points calculated for path interpolation.
The cycle time for the position controller is defined as the time
interval during which the actual position value is compared to the
calculated nominal position value. The speed controller cycle
time is defined as the time interval in which the actual speed
value is compared to the calculated nominal speed value. The
cycle time for the current controller is defined as the time
interval during which the actual value of the electrical current is
compared to the calculated nominal value of the electrical current.

1) Double speed (with option 49)

Axis clamping The control loop can be opened through the PLC in order to clamp
specific axes.

Double-speed Double-speed control loops permit higher PWM frequencies and

control loops shorter cycle times for the speed controller. This enables improved
(option 49) current control for spindles and higher controller performance for
linear and torque motors.

Crossover Position To increase the stability of the position control loop in systems
Filter (CPF) with resonances, the position signal from the position encoder,
which is filtered through a low-pass filter, is combined with the
position signal from the motor speed encoder, which is filtered
through a high-pass filter. This signal combination is made available
to the position controller as the actual position value. The possible
position controller gain (kV factor) is increased significantly by this.
The filter separation frequency is set specifically for each axis via
machine parameters. The CPF can be used only in dual-encoder
systems on drive motors with speed and position encoders.

72
Fast contour milling

Short block The TNC 640 provides the following important features for fast
processing time contour machining.

The block processing time of the MC is 0.5 ms. This means that
the TNC 640 is able to run long programs from the hard disk, even
with contours approximated with linear segments as small as
0.2 mm, at a feed rate of up to 24 m/min.

Look-ahead The TNC 640 calculates the geometry ahead of time in order to
adjust the feed rate (max. 5000 blocks). In this way, directional
changes are detected in time to accelerate or decelerate the
appropriate NC axes.

Jerk The derivative of acceleration is referred to as jerk. A linear change

in acceleration causes a jerk step. Such motion sequences may
cause the machine to oscillate.

Jerk limiting To prevent machine oscillations, the jerk is limited in order to attain
optimum path control.

Smoothed jerk The jerk is smoothed by nominal position value filters. The
TNC 640 therefore mills smooth surfaces at the highest possible
feed rate and yet keeps the contour accurate. The operator
programs the permissible tolerance in a cycle. Special filters for
HSC machining (HSC filters) can specifically suppress the natural
frequencies of an individual machine. The desired accuracy and a
very high surface quality are attained.

Advanced The Advanced Dynamic Prediction (ADP) function enhances

Dynamic the conventional look-ahead of the permissible maximum feed
Prediction (ADP) rate profile, thereby enabling optimized motion control for clean
surface finishes and perfect contours. The strengths of ADP are
evident, for example, during bidirectional finish milling through
symmetrical feed behavior on the forward and reverse paths, as
well as through particularly smooth feed rate curves on parallel
milling paths. NC programs that are generated on CAM systems
have a negative effect on the machining process due to various
factors such as short, step-like contours; coarse chord tolerances;
and heavily rounded end-point coordinates. Through an improved
response to such factors and the exact adherence to dynamic
machine parameters, ADP not only improves the surface quality of
the workpiece but also optimizes the machining time.

73
Dynamic Efficiency

Overview With the concept of Dynamic Efficiency, HEIDENHAIN offers

innovative TNC functions that help the user make heavy machining
and roughing more efficient while also enhancing its process
reliability. Dynamic Efficiency permits higher removal rates and
therefore increases productivity. At the same time, it prevents any
tool overloading and the concomitant premature cutter wear.

Dynamic Efficiency comprises three software functions:

• Active Chatter Control (ACC): This option reduces chatter
tendencies and permits greater feed rates and infeeds
• Adaptive Feed Control (AFC): The AFC option controls the feed
rate depending on the machining situation
• Trochoidal milling: A function for the roughing of slots and
pockets that eases the load on the tool

Each solution in itself offers decisive advantages in the machining

process. But the combination of these TNC features, in particular,
exploits the potential of the machine and tool and at the same
time reduces the mechanical load.

Adaptive Feed With Adaptive Feed Control (AFC), the contouring feed rate is
Control (AFC) controlled depending on the respective spindle power in percent.
(option 45)
Benefits of adaptive feed control:
• Optimization and reduction of machining time
• Prevention of subsequent damage through tool monitoring
100%

• Automatic insertion of a replacement tool when the tool is worn

(machine-dependent function)
• Protection of the machine mechanics
• Documentation by capturing and saving the learning and
process data
• Integrated NC function, and therefore an alternative to external
software solutions

Restrictions:
AFC cannot be used for analog spindles or in volts-per-hertz control
mode.

74
Active Chatter During heavy machining (roughing at high cutting power),
Control (ACC) strong milling forces arise. Depending on the tool spindle
(option 145) speed, the resonances in the machine tool, and the chip volume
(metal-removal rate during milling), the phenomenon known
as “chatter” may occur. Chatter subjects the machine to heavy
strain and causes ugly marks on the workpiece surface. The
tool, too, undergoes heavy and irregular wear due to chatter,
even breaking in extreme cases. To reduce chatter tendencies,
HEIDENHAIN offers an effective option with its Active Chatter
Control (ACC) solution. This option is particularly advantageous
during heavy machining. ACC enables substantially higher cutting
performance: depending on the machine model, the metal
removal rate can be increased by 25 % or more. Thus, you can
reduce the load on your machine while simultaneously increasing
the life of your tools.

Bottom figure: Part milled without ACC

75
Dynamic Precision

Overview The umbrella term Dynamic Precision encompasses a number

of HEIDENHAIN milling solutions that significantly improve the
dynamic accuracy of a machine tool. The dynamic accuracy of
machine tools can be seen in the errors at the tool center point
(TCP). The size of these errors depends on the magnitudes of the
motion (e.g., speed and acceleration, as well as jerk) and result
from the vibrations of the machine components, among other
things. Taken together, all of these errors are partially to blame for
dimensional errors and faults on the surfaces of workpieces. They
therefore have a decisive impact on quality and, in the event of
quality-related scrap, on productivity as well.

Because the stiffness of machine tools is limited for reasons of

design and economy, problems such as compliance and vibration
within the machine design are very difficult to avoid. Dynamic
Precision counteracts these problems with intelligent control
technology to enable designers to further improve the quality
and dynamic performance of machine tools. This saves time and
money in production.

The machine tool builder can use the options comprised by

Dynamic Precision either individually or in combination:

• CTC: Compensates acceleration-dependent position errors

at the tool center point, thereby increasing accuracy during
acceleration phases
• AVD: Active vibration damping improves surfaces
• PAC: Position-dependent adaptation of control parameters
• LAC: Load-dependent adaptation of control parameters
enhances accuracy regardless of load and aging
• MAC: Motion-dependent adaptation of control parameters

76
Cross Talk CTC (option 141) makes it possible to compensate dynamic
Compensation position errors that are caused by acceleration forces.
(CTC)
(option 141) To increase productivity, machine tool users are asking for ever
higher feed rates and accelerations, while at the same time
they need to maintain the highest possible surface quality and
accuracy, placing very special requirements on path control.

Highly dynamic acceleration processes introduce forces to the

structure of a machine tool. They can deform parts of the machine
and thereby lead to deviations at the tool center point (TCP).
Besides deformation in the direction of the axis, the dynamic
acceleration of an axis due to mechanical axis coupling can also
result in the deformation of axes that are perpendicular to the
direction of acceleration. The resulting position error at the TCP in
the direction of the accelerated axis and lateral axes is proportional
to the amount of acceleration.

If the dynamic position error as a function of the axis acceleration

is known, this acceleration-dependent error can be compensated
with the CTC option (Cross Talk Compensation) in order to
prevent negative effects on the surface quality and accuracy of
the workpiece. Often, the resulting error at the TCP depends not
only on the acceleration but also on the position of the axes in the
working space. This can also be compensated by CTC.

Active Vibration The high dynamics of modern machine tools lead to deformations
Damping (AVD) in the machine base, frame, and drive train during acceleration and
(option 146) deceleration of the feed drives. This results in vibrations, such as
machine setup vibrations, that may reduce the attainable accuracy
and surface quality of the workpieces. The Active Vibration
Damping (AVD) controller function dampens the especially critical
low-frequency oscillations and optimizes the control behavior
of the affected axis at the same time so that high-accuracy
workpieces with increased surface quality can also be produced
at high feed rates. The improved rigidity attained can be used to
increase the dynamic limit values (e.g., jerk), and therefore makes
reduced machining times possible.

Position Adaptive PAC (option 142) permits a dynamic and position-dependent

Control (PAC) adaptation of controller parameters depending on the position of
(option 142) the tool in space.

The specifics of a machine’s kinematics cause a unique position

of the axes’ center of gravity in the working space. This results in
a variable dynamic behavior of the machine, which can negatively
influence the control’s stability depending on the axis positions.

To exploit the potential of the machine’s dynamics, you can use

the Position Adaptive Control (PAC) option to change machine
parameters based on position. This makes it possible to assign
the respective optimal loop gain to defined interpolation points.
Additional position-dependent filter parameters can be defined in
order to further increase control loop stability.

77
Load Adaptive LAC (option 143) enables you to adapt controller parameters
Control (LAC) dynamically depending on the load or friction.
(option 143)
The dynamic behavior of machines with rotary tables can vary
depending on the mass moment of inertia of the fixed workpiece.
The LAC (Load Adaptive Control) option enables the control to
automatically ascertain the current workpiece mass moment of
inertia as well as current frictional forces.

In order to optimize changed control behavior at differing loads,

adaptive feedforward controls can exploit data on acceleration,
holding torque, static friction, and friction at high shaft speeds.

Motion Adaptive In addition to the position-dependent adaptation of control

Control (MAC) parameters through the PAC option, the Motion Adaptive Control
(option 144) (MAC) option also provides a means of changing machine
parameters based on other input quantities, such as speed,
following error, or drive acceleration. Through this motion-
dependent adaptation of the control parameters, a speed-
dependent adaptation of the kV factor can be implemented
for drive systems whose stability changes due to the different
traversing speeds.

78
Monitoring functions

Description During operation the control monitors the following details*:

• Amplitude of the encoder signals
• Edge separation of the encoder signals
• Absolute position from encoders with distance-coded reference
marks
• Current position (following error monitoring)
• Actual distance traversed (movement monitoring)
• Position deviation at standstill
• Nominal speed value
• Checksum of safety-related functions
• Supply voltage
• Voltage of the backup battery
• Operating temperature of the MC and CPU
• Run time of the PLC program
• Motor current / motor temperature
• Temperature of the power module
• DC-link voltage
With EnDat 2.2 encoders:
• The CRC checksum of the position value
• EnDat alarm Error1→ EnDat status alarm register (0xEE)
• EnDat alarm Error2
• Edge speed of 5 µs
• Transmission of the absolute position value on the time grid
In the event of hazardous errors, an emergency stop message is
sent to the external electronics via the control-is-ready output, and
the axes are brought to a stop. The correct connection of the TNC
640 in the machine’s emergency stop loop is checked when the
control system is switched on. In the event of an error, the control
displays a message in plain language.

Dynamic Collision With the Dynamic Collision Monitoring (DCM) software option,
Monitoring (DCM) the TNC cyclically monitors the working space of the machine for
(option 40) possible collisions between machine components. To this end,
the OEM must define three-dimensional collision objects in the
working space that are to be monitored by the TNC during all
machine movements, including those of the swivel head and tilting
table. If two objects monitored for collision come within a defined
distance of each other, the TNC outputs an error message. At the
same time, the affected machine components are shown in red
in the machine image. Collision monitoring is active in the manual
operating modes and in the machine operating modes, and is
indicated by a symbol in the operating mode line.

Please note:
• Collision objects (including fixtures) are defined exclusively by
the OEM
• The collision of machine parts (e.g., the swivel head) with the
workpiece cannot be detected
• Collision objects are not automatically transformed into
rotationally symmetric objects in turning mode
• In servo-lag operation (no feedforward), DCM is inactive
• It is not possible to check for collisions in Test Run mode
Collision monitoring also protects fixtures and tool carriers from
collisions.

The 3-D collision objects are created with the KinematicsDesign

commissioning software.

With the TNC 640, collision objects can also be transferred to the
control in M3D format from standard CAD models (e.g., STL).

* No safety functions

79
 Advantages of the M3D format:
• Simple data transfer from already available CAD models
• Fully detailed illustration of machine components
• Greater exploitation of the working space
Context-sensitive The HELP and ERR keys provide the user with context-sensitive
help help. This means that in the event of an error message, the control
displays information on the cause of the error and proposes
solutions. The machine tool builder can also use this function for
PLC error messages.

KinematicsDesign KinematicsDesign is a PC program for creating adaptable

(accessory) kinematic configurations. It supports the following:
• Complete kinematic configurations
• Transfer of configuration files between control and PC
• Description of tool-carrier kinematics
Kinematic descriptions created for the iTNC 530 can
also be transferred into kinematic descriptions for the
TNC 640/620/320/128.

If KinematicsDesign is connected to a control online (operation

is also possible with the programming station software), then
machine movements can be simulated, and the axes are moved.
Together with the TNC 640, KinematicsDesign simulates the
working space when DCM is active, and collisions that occur, or
machine components in danger of collision, are displayed in a color
that you define.

The visualization possibilities range from the pure depiction of the

transformation chain and a wire model to a depiction of the entire
working space.

80
M3D Converter With the TNC 640, you can transfer collision objects out of a CAD
file and integrate them into the machine kinematics using the
M3D format. The M3D data format from HEIDENHAIN permits
an especially finely detailed depiction of high-resolution collision
objects. The M3D converter, which is capable of performing tasks
such as checking, repairing, simplifying, merging, and optimizing
the CAD data of collision objects, is used to generate the M3D
data. As an independent PC tool, the M3D converter is part of
the KinematicsDesign installation package (as of version 3.1).
The M3D converter requires a software release module (ID
1124969-01).

VSC – Camera- With the Visual Setup Control option (VSC), the TNC can
based working- automatically monitor the current setup or machining situation
space monitoring during program run. With this option, reference photos are taken
(option 136) by the VS 101 camera system for the first parts of a series, which
are then compared with the photos of the subsequent parts. User-
friendly cycles enable you to specify several places in the NC
program at which the control conducts an optical comparison of
the actual and desired conditions. If an error is detected, the TNC
reacts as previously chosen by the user.

81
Error compensation

Overview The TNC 640 automatically compensates mechanical errors of the

machine.

Linear error Linear error can be compensated over the entire travel range for
each axis.

Nonlinear error The TNC 640 can compensate for ball-screw pitch errors and sag
errors simultaneously. The compensation values are stored in a
table. Nonlinear axis-error compensation also makes it possible to
compensate for position-dependent backlash.

Backlash The play between table movement and rotary encoder movement
during direction changes can be compensated in length
measurements by spindle and rotary encoder. This backlash is
outside the controlled system.

Hysteresis The hysteresis between table movement and motor movement is

also compensated in direct length measurements. In this case, the
hysteresis is within the controlled system.

Reversal spikes In circular movements, reversal spikes can occur at quadrant

transitions due to mechanical influences. The TNC 640 can
compensate for these reversal spikes.

Static friction At very low feed rates, high static friction can cause the slide to
stop and start repeatedly for short periods. This is commonly
known as stick-slip. The TNC 640 can compensate for this
problematic behavior.

Sliding friction Sliding friction is compensated for by the speed controller of the
TNC 640.

Thermal To compensate for thermal expansion, the machine’s expansion

expansion behavior must be known.

The temperature is ascertained by thermistors connected to the

analog inputs of the TNC 640. The PLC evaluates the temperature
information and passes the compensation value to the NC.

KinematicsOpt Using the KinematicsOpt function, machine tool builders or
(option 48) end users can check the accuracy of rotary or swivel axes, and
compensate for possible displacements of the center of rotation
of these axes. The deviations are automatically transferred to
the kinematics description and can be taken into account in the
kinematics calculation.

In order to measure the rotary axes, you must attach a calibration

sphere (e.g., KKH 100 or KKH 250 from HEIDENHAIN) at any
position on the machine table. A HEIDENHAIN touch probe uses
a special cycle to probe this calibration sphere, and measures the
rotary axes of the machine fully automatically. But first you define
the resolution of the measurement and define for each rotary axis
the range that you want to measure. The results of measurement
are the same regardless of whether the axis is a rotary table, a
tilting table, or a swivel head.

Calibration HEIDENHAIN offers calibration spheres as accessories

KKH 250 Height: 250 mm ID 655475-01

83
KinematicsComp Increasingly stringent requirements on workpiece tolerances
(option 52) constantly increase the demands placed on the precision of
a machine tool. However, components of the machine tool
inevitably show imperfections that are, for example, caused by
manufacturing or installation or result from elastic deformation.
This is the reason why the commanded tool position and
orientation are not always reached exactly everywhere in the
working space. The more axes a machine has, the more sources
of errors there are. The use of mechanical means to cope with
these problems requires considerable effort, particularly in the
field of 5-axis machining, or if large machines with parallel axes are
involved.

The KinematicsComp software option allows the OEM to store a

comprehensive description of the machine errors in the control.
KinematicsComp then automatically compensates for the position
error that results from static errors of the physical machine Fault characteristics according to ISO 230-1: EBA
axes (volumetric compensation). The positions of all rotary and
linear axes, as well as the current tool length, are included in the
calculation. KinematicsComp can continue to be used to define
position-dependent temperature compensation. The required
data are supplied by multiple sensors located at representative
positions on the machine.

For example, the spatial errors of the tool tip can be

measured with a laser tracer or laser interferometer. However,
multidimensional tables for component errors make it possible
to use measured data directly for compensation without
building a model. PLC variables as initial values for formulas
and multidimensional tables make it easy to enter parameters
for powerful compensation, for example, for various thermal
conditions or load situations.

The KinematicsComp option cannot be enabled for the export

versions. Fault characteristics according to ISO 230-1: EXA

3D-ToolComp 3D-ToolComp is a three-dimensional tool radius compensation

(option 92) depending on the tool’s contact angle for compensating tool
form errors. A compensation-value table is used to define angle-
dependent delta values. These delta values define the deviation
of a tool from its ideal circular form or any deviation in a touch
probe’s switching behavior. For use with a tool, this function
requires surface normal vectors in the NC program, for which
the software option Advanced Function Set 2 must be enabled.
These compensation values will only be taken into account during
probing with a touch probe if new probing cycles (e.g., Cycle 444)
that have been prepared for this purpose are used.

84
Commissioning and diagnostic aids

Overview The TNC 640 provides comprehensive internal commissioning and

diagnostic aids. It also includes highly effective PC software for
diagnostics, optimization, and remote control.

86
TNCtest Acceptance tests on machine tools with external or integrated
functional safety (FS) must be conducted reproducibly and
verifiably.

The TNCtest and TestDesign program packages can be used

to plan and perform acceptance tests for machine tools with
HEIDENHAIN controls. The acceptance tests are planned with
TestDesign and run with TNCtest.

The TNCtest programs are designed to provide support during

acceptance testing, provide required information, and perform
automatic configurations, as well as record data and evaluate the
data semiautomatically. A tester must evaluate manually whether
a test case passed or failed.

87
Integrated PLC

Overview The PLC program is created by the machine manufacturer either

at the control or with the PLC development software PLCdesign
(accessory). Machine-specific functions are activated and
monitored via the PLC inputs/outputs. The number of PLC inputs/
outputs required depends on the complexity of the machine.

PLC inputs/ PLC inputs and outputs are available via the external PL 6000 PLC
outputs input/output systems or the UEC 11x. The PLC inputs/outputs and
the PROFINET IO or PROFIBUS DP-capable I/O system must be
configured with the IOconfig PC software.

PLC programming Format Statement list

Memory Min. 1 GB
Cycle time 9 ms to 30 ms (adjustable)
Command • Bit, byte, and word commands
set • Logical operations
• Arithmetic commands
• Comparisons
• Bracketed terms
• Jump commands
• Subprograms
• Stack operations
• Submit programs
• Timers
• Counters

Encryption of PLC The encrypted PLC partition (PLCE:) provides the machine tool
data builder with a tool for preventing third parties from viewing or
changing files.

The files on the PLCE partition can be read only by the control
itself or by using the correct OEM keyword. This ensures that
proprietary know-how and special customer-specific solutions
cannot be copied or changed.

The machine tool builder can also determine the size of the
encrypted partition. This is not determined until the machine tool
builder creates the PLCE partition. Another advantage is that, in
spite of the encryption, the data can backed up from the control
to a separate data medium (USB drive, network, e. g. through
TNCremo) and later restored. You need not enter the password,
but the data cannot be read until the keyword is supplied.

88
PLC window The TNC 640 can display PLC error messages in the dialog line
during operation.

Small PLC window The TNC 640 can show additional PLC messages and bar
diagrams in the small PLC window.

PLC soft keys The machine manufacturer can display his own PLC soft keys in
the vertical soft-key row on the screen.

PLC positioning All closed-loop axes can also be positioned

via the PLC. PLC positioning of the
NC axes cannot be superimposed on
NC positioning.

PLC axes Axes can be defined as PLC axes. They are programmed
by means of M functions or OEM cycles. The PLC axes are
positioned independently of the NC axes.

PLCdesign PC software for PLC program development.

(accessory) The PC program PLCdesign can be used for easy creation of
PLC programs. Extensive examples of PLC programs are included
with the product.

Functions:
• Easy-to-use text editor
• Menu-guided operation
• Programming of symbolic operands
• Modular programming techniques
• “Compiling” and “linking” of PLC source files
• Operand commenting, creation of the documentation file
• Comprehensive help system
• Data transfer between the PC and control
• Creation of PLC soft keys

89
Python OEM The Python OEM Process option is an effective tool for the
Process machine tool builder to use an object-oriented high-level
(option 46) programming language in the control (PLC). Python is an easy-to-
learn script language that supports the use of all necessary high-
level language elements.

Python OEM Process can be used universally for machine

functions and complex calculations, as well as to display special
user interfaces. User-specific or machine-specific solutions can be
efficiently implemented. Numerous libraries on the basis of Python
and GTK are available, regardless of whether you want to create
special algorithms for special functions, or separate solutions such
as an interface for machine maintenance software.

The applications you create can be included via the PLC in the
familiar PLC windows, or they can be displayed in separate free
windows that can be expanded to the control’s full screen size.

Simple Python scripts (e.g., for display masks) can also be

executed without enabling Python OEM Process (software option
46). For this function, 10 MB of dedicated memory is reserved. For
more information, refer to the Python in HEIDENHAIN Controls
Technical Manual.

Interfacing to the machine

OEM cycles The machine tool builder can create and store his own cycles for
recurring machining tasks. These OEM cycles are used in the
same way as standard HEIDENHAIN cycles.

CycleDesign The soft-key structure for the cycles is managed using the
(accessory) CycleDesign PC program. In addition, CycleDesign can be used
to store help graphics and soft keys in BMP format in the TNC.
Graphic files can be compressed to ZIP format to reduce the
amount of memory used.

Tool With integral PLC, the tool changer is moved either via proximity
management switch or as a controlled axis. Tool management including tool life
monitoring and replacement tool monitoring is carried out by the
TNC 640.

Tool calibration Tool touch probes can be measured and checked with the TT tool
touch probe system (accessory). Standard cycles for automatic
tool measurement are available in the control. The control
calculates the probing feed rate and the optimal spindle speed.
The measured data are stored in a tool table.

Touch-probe All touch-probe data can be configured conveniently through a

configuration table. All HEIDENHAIN touch probe systems are preconfigured
and can be selected through a drop-down menu.

Pallet Pallet feeding can be controlled via

management PLC axes. The user defines the pallet
sequence, pallet presets, and workpiece
presets in the pallet tables. The pallet
tables are freely configurable; any
information can be stored in the tables and
called via the PLC. Pallet table execution
can be workpiece- or tool-oriented.

TNCremoPlus In addition to the features already familiar from TNCremo,
(accessory) TNCremoPlus can also transfer the current content of the control’s
screen to the PC (live screen). This makes it very simple to
monitor the machine.

Additional functions:
• Interrogation of DNC data (NC uptime, machine uptime,
machine running time, spindle running time, pending errors, data
from the data servers—e.g., symbolic PLC operands)
• Targeted overwriting of tool data using the values of a tool
presetter

TNCremoPlus ID 340447-xx

• Easy data usage
• Time-saving procedures
• Transparent processes
Remote Desktop Remote control and display of external computers over an
Manager Ethernet connection (e.g., Windows PC). The information is
(option 133) displayed on the control’s screen. Remote Desktop Manager
allows you to access important applications, such as CAD/CAM
applications or order management, from the control.

Remote Desktop Manager ID 894423-xx

HEIDENHAIN The development environments on Windows operating systems

DNC are particularly well suited as flexible platforms for application
(option 18) development in order to handle the increasingly complex
requirements of the machine’s environment.

The flexibility of the PC software and the large selection of

ready-to-use software components and standard tools in the
development environment enable you to develop PC applications
of great use to your customers in a very short time, for example:
• Error reporting systems that, for example, send the customer
a text message to his cell phone reporting problems on the
currently running machining process
• Standard or customer-specific PC software that decidedly
increases process reliability and equipment availability
• Software solutions controlling the processes of manufacturing
systems
• Information exchange with job management software
The HEIDENHAIN DNC software interface is an attractive
communication platform for this purpose. It provides all the data
and configuration capabilities needed for these processes so that
an external PC application can evaluate data from the control and,
if required, influence the manufacturing process.

RemoTools SDK To enable you to use HEIDENHAIN DNC effectively, HEIDENHAIN

(accessory) offers the RemoTools SDK development package. It contains the
COM component and the ActiveX control for integration of the
DNC functions in development environments.
