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
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.
