Compar
ison: F
unctions of the TNC 620 and the iTNC
530
Comparison: Differences in Program Run,
traverse movements
Caution: Check the traverse movements!
NC programs that were created on earlier TNC controls
may lead to different traverse movements or error
messages on a TNC 620!
Be sure to take the necessary care and caution when
running-in programs!
Please find a list of known differences below. The list does
not pretend to be complete!
Function
TNC 620
iTNC 530
Handwheel-superimposed traverse
with M118
Effective in the active coordinate
system (which may also be rotated or
tilted), or in the machine-based
coordinate system, depending on the
setting in the 3-D ROT menu for manual
operation.
Effective in the machine-based
coordinate system
M118 in conjunction with M128
Function not available
Available function
Approach/Departure with APPR/DEP, R0
is active, contour element plane is not
equal to working plane
If possible, the blocks are executed in
the defined contour element plane,
error message for APPRLN, DEPLN,
APPRCT
, DEPCT
If possible, the blocks are executed in
the defined working plane; error
message for APPRLN, APPRLT, APPRCT,
APPRLCT
Scaling approach/departure
movements (APPR/DEP/RND)
Axis-specific scaling factor is allowed,
radius is not scaled
Error message
Approach/departure with APPR/DEP
Error message if R0 is programmed for
APPR
/DEP LN or APPR/DEP CT
Tool radius 0 and compensation
direction RR are assumed
Approach/departure with APPR/DEP if
contour elements with length 0 are
defined.
Contour elements with length 0 are
ignored. The approach/departure
movements are calculated for the first
or last valid contour element
An error message is issued if a contour
element with length 0 is programmed
after the APPR block (relative to the first
contour point programmed in the APPR
block).
For a contour element with length 0
before a DEP block, the TNC does not
issue an error message, but uses the
last valid contour element to calculate
the departure movement.
Effect of Q parameters
Q60
to Q99 (or QS60 to QS99) are always
local.
Q60
to Q99 (or QS60 to QS99) are local or
global, depending on MP7251 in
converted cycle programs (.cyc)
Nested calls may cause problems
M128
block without programmed feed
rate F
Feed rate is limited to rapid-traverse
feed rate
Feed rate is limited to MP7471
