1 Product SINUMERIK SinuCom NC 1.1 Product features

06.03

1.1 Product features

The installation and service tool SinuCom NC provides a simple way of installing SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D. On the SINUMERIK 840D/810D the tool is started from the PG/PC in online mode (PG/PC control via the OPI interface), in the case of the SINUMERIK 840Di it is included in the software.

Product components
The installation/service tool SINUMERIK SinuCom NC comprises four tools: 1. SinuCom NC: Commissioning Tool for controls SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D 2. SinuCom FFS: Tool for generating SINUMERIK NC image files for the PC card of the NCU/CCU 3. SinuCom ARC: Tool for editing SINUMERIK HMI archives (successor of ARCEdit) 4. SinuCom PCIN: Tool for data transfer between the PC/PG and the control

SinuCom NC
The Commissioning Tool SinuCom NC offers the following functions: Dialog-based parameterization of machine data (online linked up to the NC) Management of series start-up files Data exchange Option manager

SinuCom FFS for SINUMERIK NC image files

Using the service tool SinuCom FFS you can create, edit, and load SINUMERIK NC mapping files (consisting of the NC system software and the Flash File System, FFS) for the NC cards of the NCU/CCU to program them. Note The NC card is programmed with standard tools (e.g. Cardware) that are not contained in the included in the scope of supply of SinuCom FFS. A Flash File System (FFS) is comparable with a DOS data medium, e.g. a diskette. Before data can be archived, the system must be formatted. Then the directory structures can be created and files stored in a suitable format. The data medium is an electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM). This means that before writing the relevant sector must be erased. Algorithms written for the module identification are required for erasing and writing. They largely determine the speed with which data are written. An FFS system can be read directly from DOS/WINDOWS. Because the NC system software also stored on the NC card does not exist in FFS format, this can only be performed with SINUCOPY-FFS.

Axis configuration
You can change the axis configuration by clicking on the button "Change... ". As soon as you click on "OK", your entries are checked and if they are correct the machine data are written to the NC. You are asked to confirm whether an NC reset (warm restart) is to be initiated (can be performed later, in the meantime any changes are stored in the buffer until the dialog is closed. If there are any errors, an error message is output. In this dialog, the axes are assigned to the channels and activated. Any assignment of channel axis to machine axis is possible. The machine axis name cannot be changed in this dialog, it is changed in the dialog "Axis properties". Any name can be assigned to the geometry axes. If an axis is defined in several channels, you can select the channel to which the axis is to be assigned after an NC Reset (warm restart) from a list box. You can reject any changes you make by clicking on the "Cancel" button. Channel axis gaps: You can configure channel axis gaps if you set $MN_ENABLE_CHAN_AX_GAP to 1 (in the expert list). As a result, all axes are visible. Note The buttons "Channel+/-" are only displayed for multi-channel systems.

4.9 SinuCom NC Trace

(for SinuCom NC Version 06.03.07)
Note SinuCom NC Trace uses several unique terms. To better understand the descriptions in this section, please review the Appendix entitled "Abbreviations & Definitions - SinuCom NC Trace".

Definition and Use

SinuCom NC Trace (also simply called "Trace" in this document) is a SinuCom NC facility that can dynamically record data from the NC, drives, PLC, or HMI. Once recorded, this data can be graphically displayed in a form similar to that of an oscilloscope or logic analyzer, printed, or saved to a file. Saved files can be loaded into Trace for viewing at a later time, even on a different machine. Trace can be used to assist machine manufacturers, end users and Siemens service personnel in activities such as: Trouble-shooting and debugging Machine performance analysis, benchmarking and tuning Process performance analysis, benchmarking and tuning

Compatibility with Siemens Software

SinuCom NC Must be Version 06.03.07 or later. NCK Version 05.03 or 06.03 (basic functionality). NCK Version 06.04 or later (extended functionality). Note The level of available Trace functionality is automatically determined when the NCK version is detected at startup.

Some of these machine data (MD) are memory-configuring data (see NCK alarm no. 4400). Before performing a NCK reset, it is essential to save the machine data. = 20 (in newer NCK software versions) = 20 (in newer NCK software versions)

Compatibility with MicroSoft Windows

Trace is a MicroSoft Windows application. It runs on a standard Windows-PC platform under one of the following operating systems: Windows NT 4 SP6 with Internet Explorer 5.0 or later Windows XP Common Windows controls such as scroll bars, toolbars, tabbed dialogs, etc., are used. A mouse or other pointing device is required for selecting, dragging, etc.

Traces Relationship to SinuCom NC

Trace can be started from SinuCom NC by selecting the Trace menu item from the Diagnosis menu. If a Trace session is already active in the NCK when this menu item is selected, SinuCom NC switches to the active Trace session.

4 SinuCom NC: Functions 4.9 SinuCom NC Trace

Trace runs as a separate executable (.exe file) in its own application window. This means that Trace has its own set of menus that do not integrate into the menus of SinuCom NC. These Trace-specific menus are described in the Chapter: Toolbars and Menus.

4.9.1

Overview: How Trace is Used

Typically, Trace is used to record data (signals) shortly before or after an event. To do this, the following sequence can be executed: 1. Specify what signals to record. 2. Specify when to start and stop recording (may involve the definition of a trigger condition). 3. Start the recording process by arming the trigger. 4. Wait for the data to be collected. (Recorded data appears immediately on the display as one or more waveforms.) 5. View the resulting waveform(s). 6. Manipulate the waveform(s) as desired to examine details (e.g., zoom, scroll, etc.). 7. Optionally, print the waveform(s) or save to a file. Note Siemens or the machine builder can supply setup files that are pre-configured for certain tasks such as troubleshooting or performance analysis.

A Hands-On Example
The easiest way to learn about Trace is to actually use it. This section illustrates the basic use of the tool in step-by-step fashion. 1. Activate SinuCom NC. 2. Click "Diagnosis" in the SinuCom NC main menu. 3. Click "Trace" in the Diagnosis menu. The Trace initial screen will appear. Note A yellow message box ("No Waveforms") is displayed at the top of the graph window. This box may optionally appear whenever a graph window is displayed. It can contain one of three messages: "No Waveforms" No waveforms have been defined ("added") for display. "No Waveforms Shown" All defined waveforms have had their "Show" checkbox unchecked. "All Waveforms Stopped" Recording is in process, and the checkbox "Keep data on NCU until stopped" has been checked. (For location of the checkbox, see Fig. 4-4.)

Scale and Scroll Icons

The entire waveform is now shown at its maximum size. The plot is either a diagonal line or a sawtooth. Note The scale of the observed waveform will vary because of the data limit, sampling rates and amplification that had previously been set. Y axis scaling will vary depending upon when "Start Trace" and "Stop Trace" are clicked. Also, the variable "acTime" is a continuously running clock that can roll over to zero. It also restarts at the beginning of each block. This may cause the waveform to appear as a sawtooth.

The above example is intended to be an introduction to the Trace function. Review of the remainder of the material in this section, and further work with Trace, will allow discovery of a variety of additional capabilities.

Passwords
Certain functions of Trace require use of a password: Variable Selection Some variables are available for selection only at approved password levels. If the appropriate password has not been entered, certain variables will not be displayed, and thus cannot be recorded. Functions Some functions are available only at approved password levels. (e.g., selecting signals by address rather than by name). Sessions The creator of a session can make the session read-only or password-accessible. (E.g., a session intended for troubleshooting might be executable by an operator, but its setup can be modified only by a technician.).

Recording Basics: Data and Events

There are two main aspects of recording: The Data aspect (i.e., what to record, sometimes called the signal) The Event aspect (i.e., when to record, on a per-point basis) The Data aspect can be selected as subsets of the following main types of data: All NC variables (axis data, drive data, channel data, etc.) Some PLC data The data is usually selected by name, but can also be selected by address (see the Chapter: Dialogs, Dialog: Setup Waveforms) .Note that some types of data require further qualification of the signal. (E.g. "axis data" must also have the specific axis defined.) Note Event-Only is a special case in which no data is recorded. Only the occurrence of the event is recorded. The Event aspect requires that one event be selected from the following list: List of Events: Cyclic IPO 1 Cyclic IPO 2 Cyclic IPO 2 Geo Axis Start Geo Axis Stop MA Axis Start MA Axis Stop
1

IPO interpolation cycle 1 1 IPO interpolation cycle 2 1 servo cycle geometry axis starts or changes direction geometry axis stops machine axis starts or changes direction machine axis stops

Events designated as cyclic occur repetitively at a constant rate. Waveforms for data recorded on noncyclic events have special features and different behaviors as described elsewhere in this manual.

4.9.2
Sessions

Sessions and Their Content

A Trace Session is an environment constructed for the purpose of collecting data. This data can be used to display one or more waveforms in a configurable manner. The setup (configuration) and the "trace status" (e.g. stopped, recording, no waveform, etc.) are attributes of a session. (I.e., at any given time, a session has a single setup and a single status, independent of other sessions.) When the recording process is manually started or stopped (i.e., by clicking the "start trace" button, , or the "stop trace" button, , on the toolbar ), only the active session is affected. (The active session is the session that is currently displayed.) Likewise, when a setup is changed, only the active session is affected. Typically, a session is created by clicking "New Session..." in the file menu. In a future release, a session will also be able to be created by instructions in the NC part program (also called batch mode). Session data will be recorded and viewed the same way regardless of which method was used to create it. See also in the Chapter: Toolbars and Menus, Open Sessions and Close Sessions, for file maintenance information, including information on Preserved Sessions.

Graph Windows
A graph window is the area of the screen where the acquired data is displayed as one or more waveforms. The graph window can have a user-defined title. If multiple sessions are open, the name of the corresponding session appears prefixed to the title of each graph window. The focus of the graph window determines which of the displayed waveforms is ready for manipulation. The focus can be changed from one waveform to another by clicking the associated colored tab, or by clicking the waveform itself. The colored tab may be configured to show either the waveform number, or the waveform description/name. The waveform that has focus is indicated in the colored tabs by a change in coloration. A show/hide checkbox is used to show or hide the waveform that has focus. When the box is checked, the waveform that has focus is made visible and its tab is shown in color; when the box is not checked, the waveform that has focus is made invisible and its tab is gray. X and Y Axis labels are the numbers displayed next to the ticks marks. They pertain to the waveform that has focus. These labels change automatically with panning, zooming or change of scale. Numeric resolution (number of decimal places) can also be selected. The vertical scroll bars can be clicked or dragged to scroll the off-screen portions of the graph window into view (i.e., according to the normal conventions of MicroSoft Windows). The specifics of scrolling and scaling are as follows:

4-45

4 SinuCom NC: Functions 4.9 SinuCom NC Trace

06.03

The horizontal scroll bar is shown as a miniature image of the entire waveform. This bar can be moved or dragged just like a standard Windows scroll bar. Additionally, a rectangle is superimposed onto a portion of the bar which corresponds to the portion of the waveform that is being displayed. This rectangle can be stretched to change the horizontal scaling. Along the vertical and horizontal scroll bars, there are buttons to incrementally stretch or shrink the scaling of the axes. Alternately, the vertical and horizontal axes can be dragged to stretch or shrink the scaling. Also, an auto-scale button can be used to force the entire waveform into view. After selecting "Zoom X and Y" from the View menu, a portion of the waveform can be "boxed" (i.e., left mouse button down, then drag, then left mouse button up) in order to zoom to that section (see the Chapter: Toolbars and Menus, Menus: View, for details pertaining to the zoom function.)

Other aspects of the graph window can be configured, such as graph style, grid lines, scaling style, etc., (see the Chapter: Toolbars and Menus, Dialog: Setup Display, for details.)

If signal data is loaded, it is immediately displayed just as if it had been freshly recorded. Note: Siemens or the OEM may provide pre-configured session files for common tasks. If this is the case, only the session file needs to be loaded to obtain the desired setup. A new session can also be created with this information. This would allow the previously active session to reside in its window rather than over-writing it. After this waveform data is loaded, it is presented in the graph window(s) as the active session, just as if the session had not been interrupted; however, its data will be lost the next time recording is started. Close Session Selection of this item closes the active (current) session and calls up a dialog that provides the option of either discarding or preserving the session and its recorded data. If "Preserve Session" is selected, the session will be maintained in the NCU even if the Trace application is exited and even if the NCU is shut down. The preserved session maintains: the NCU resources the entire setup the recorded signal data (if any). At some later time, Trace can be reconnected to a preserved session. (See "Open Session.. " for information about reconnecting to a preserved session.) This reconnection allows work with the session to resume. If any signal data was recorded by the NCU while the Trace was disconnected, the HMI will retrieve that recorded data immediately upon reconnection to the session.

Save Session

Selection of this item opens the "Save Session" dialog. Either "Save Session to File" or "Preserve Session on NCU" (or both) must be checked in order to perform a save. The "Advanced >>" button can be pressed to allow checkbox selection of a only a subset of the waveforms and parameters to be saved. If the Advanced window is not used, all setup parameters and the waveforms will be saved to the file. A path is initially suggested (e.g., "f:\user\"). A filename must be specified. Optionally, a new path can precede the filename. If this is done, the suggested path disappears. In subsequent saves, the new path becomes the suggested path. At some later time, the sequence "File...Open Session...From Session File" can be used to reload the file. Note: A saved session file that includes waveform data can be used later to load reference waveforms, see the Chapter: Sessions and Their Content, Reference Waveform, for information on the use of Reference Waveforms.)

Save Image

Selection of this item calls up a standard MicroSoft Windows Save As dialog that allows the image of the active graph window to be saved to a Windows graphic metafile or bmp. This graphic metafile contains the graphical content of the graph window including waveforms, axis scales, and annotations, but excludes borders, scrollbars, tabs, etc. Note: A Windows metafile is a format that can be resized without losing detail.

Print Preview

Selection of this item displays a preview of the impending printout in standard MicroSoft Windows Print Preview format. Selection of this item calls up the Print dialog. Note that toggling "Page Setup >>" alternately compresses, then expands the lower portion of the screen.). This print dialog has functionality similar to that of many MicroSoft products, but also has the following two capabilities: Print Range - The following two choices are provided: - Full Range - Prints the full recording, on multiple pages if required. - Current view only - Prints only the content currently in view. Image Size - The following three choices are provided: - Actual Size The size of the display will be reproduced in print, pixel-for-pixel at 100% of its

size. One screen of data will be produced per page. If the screen is larger than the page (X and/or Y), a portion of the printout will be cut off. - Full Page ("preserve aspect ratio" checked) The displayed size ratio of X to Y is preserved. The on-screen waveform will be enlarged to either the full horizontal or full vertical dimension of the page (whichever is reached first). - Full Page ("preserve aspect ratio" not checked) Both the X and Y dimension of the on-screen waveform will be enlarged to the size of the page without regard to the displayed size ratio of X to Y. Significant distortion is expected unless the aspect ratio of the display is close to the aspect ratio of the page. Note: Any printout will contain the graphical content of the graph window (waveforms, axis scales, and annotations), but borders, scrollbars, tabs, etc. will be excluded. The displayed scaling of the graphs will be reflected in the printout. Exit Trace Selection of this item exits the Trace facility.

Menu: Edit
The Edit menu provides access to the standard Windows functions listed below: Undo This feature is intended for future release. Selection of this item will perform an Undo (revert) on the last action (if possible). Possible actions for undo include scaling and zooming of graph windows, and various changes to setup parameters. Undo will not be available for actions that involve the actual recording of data or clearing of recorded data. This feature is intended for future release.

Menu: View
The View menu allows waveforms to be enlarged, reduced, repositioned, and labeled. The following selections are available from the menu: Zoom X and Y Selection of this item allows an area of the display to be magnified in both the X and Y direction. A portion of the waveform can be dragged over (i.e., left mouse button down, then drag, then left mouse button up) in order to zoom to that section. The proportion of X-to-Y is dictated by the proportion of the zoom box. Selection of this item is the same as Zoom X and Y, but only the X dimension is zoomed. Selection of this item is the same as Zoom X and Y, but only the Y dimension is zoomed. Selection of this item causes the display to be enlarged by a preset amount. The center of the display is maintained. Selection of this item causes the display to be reduced in size by a preset amount. The center of the display is maintained. Selection of this item fits all waveforms to maximum size. Since all waveforms occupy the full extent of the vertical screen, they are "overlaid" with each other. Repetitive selection of this item toggles the annotations on and off for all displayed waveforms. Note: Annotations are color-coded waveform names. The names are derived from the Waveforms Setup. If a Description has been supplied in the Waveforms Setup, it is the annotation. Otherwise, the Waveform Name is the annotation. Note: Both the annotation and its arrow can be dragged to a new position on the screen. The arrowhead remains stationary when the annotation is dragged; the arrow remains parallel to its original orientation when the arrow is dragged.

Measurement

Repetitive selection of this item toggles the display of the measurement cursors as well as their control/display features on the measurement toolbar, see the Chapter: Dialogs, Measurement Cursor, for information on the use of the Measurement Cursor.) This menu item allows the display of individual toolbars to be turned on and off (e.g. the Control toolbar).

Toolbars

Menu: Setup
The Setup menu provides access to the Setup dialog. Each menu item allows quick access to a particular page of the Setup dialog. Alternately, the Setup toolbar button calls up the Setup dialog to the page last used. The following selections are available from the menu: Waveforms This menu item calls up the Setup dialog with the Waveforms page selected, (see the Chapter: Dialogs, Dialog: Setup Waveforms). This menu item calls up the Setup dialog with the Collections page selected (see the Chapter: Dialogs, Dialog: Setup Collection).

Menu: Window
The Window menu provides features comparable to its MicroSoft Windows counterpart. In addition to windows arrangement and control, it allows multiple graph windows to be created and manipulated. All graph windows draw from the same acquired data, but each window can be manipulated independently. The following selections are available from the menu: New Window Selection of this item creates a new graph window. The new window becomes the new active session. Waveforms in the new window are a copy of the old window. This allows manipulation in the new active window without change in the old. When more than one window is present, tabs appear below the windows to allow for quick selection with the mouse. Note: Multiple windows allow convenient waveform comparison. They also can relieve clutter by grouping sets of relevant waveforms and eliminating irrelevant ones. Cascade Tile Horizontally Tile Vertically Selection of this item arranges all windows in an overlapped fashion. Selection of this item arranges all windows in non-overlapped horizontal tiles. Selection of this item arranges all windows in non-overlapped vertical tiles.

Graph Window n This menu item selects a particular graph window for viewing. This menu item is repeated for each available graph window.

Event Data Display

More than one data item can be recorded on the same event. If this occurs, a single marker (point) will be visible, but others may be hidden directly below it. To see all of the data represented by the single marker, the mouse pointer can be moved (hovered) over the plot marker. After a brief delay, a window will temporarily appear near the marker (until the mouse is moved again). This window displays the name of the event, followed by the name or description and value of each data item recorded on that event.

Dialogs
Most Trace dialogs pertain to the presentation of waveforms. They are called Setup Dialogs (described below). Dialogs are interactive displays. They are called dialogs because have three major functions. Each one: 1. displays a category of information. 2. allows the modification of this information. 3. feeds back the effects of the updated information.

Setup Dialogs
As stated above, Setup Dialogs control the presentation of the waveforms. They are used to identify what data to record and when to record it. When either the Setup Menu or Setup Button is clicked (as shown in Fig. 4-2), the Setup Dialogs are presented as the following group of tabbed pages: Waveforms Collection Trigger Sample Rates Display

Dialog: Setup Waveforms

This dialog facilitates the preparation for waveform recording, including the selection of signals to be recorded. It presents a table of all signals that are currently selected. As much as possible, only choices that result in a valid configuration are presented. The designed configuration is cross-checked and validated against system resources. This may result in error messages that will describe which part of the setup is invalid. Note Settings that affect recording can be changed only when recording is not in progress. In the table below, each entry is read-write unless otherwise specified, and has the following attributes:

4-54

06.03

4 SinuCom NC: Functions 4.9 SinuCom NC Trace

# (number)

Read-only) This field contains the waveforms reference number. This number is automatically assigned, and is used elsewhere to reference the signal or its waveform. When a signal is removed from the list, the subsequent signals are renumbered to remove the gap. Double-clicking on an entry in the Style field displays the "Waveform Style" window. This window facilitates the configuration of the following attributes, each of which are further described below: Line Style Line Width Marker Style Waveform Color Axis Display Plot Y Option The selected attributes are previewed on the displayed waveform prior to acceptance. Dropping down the Line Style menu allows the following characteristics for lines connecting the data points: Line None Line Solid Line Dash Line Dash Dot Line Dash Dot Dot Line Dot Line StepXY Line Step YX Note: "Line Solid" is the default for cyclic events. "Line None" is the default for non-cyclic events. Line Widths between 1 and 5 inclusive can be selected using the up-down arrows shown. Markers can optionally be plotted on the waveform at the data points. Several Marker Styles are available in the dropdown menu (asterisk, diamond, cross, etc.) See the actual menu within Trace for current content.

Style

Style (continued) Clicking the "Select" button next to Waveform Color displays a standard Color Selection dialog. The desired waveform color can be defined by simple selection, or custom colors can be defined using the associated button. Axis numbering and labels can be positioned to the Left, Right, Both, or None using the Axis Display drop-down menu. The Plot Y Option is active only for non-cyclic events (primarily because it usually does not make sense to use the value of a non-cyclic event for its own Y coordinate). This

option has three possible selections: Source Y:/<description> - The non-cyclic occurrences will superimpose onto the waveform identified by <description>. I.e., the value of <description> is used as the Y coordinate.) Snap Y The non-cyclic occurrences will "snap" (i.e., superimpose themselves) onto the waveform that has focus. Same Y for Each The non-cyclic occurrences will plot at Y=0.00 (i.e., in a straight horizontal line). Event This item specifies the occurrence at which the signal data is to be recorded. The event for each signal is selected in the Add Signal dialog, see the Chapter: Dialogs, Dialog: Add Waveform for details. This optional field identifies the Sinumerik channel in which a specific event is to occur. The field is blank for events that are not channel-specific. (See the appropriate Sinumerik documentation for the definition of the term "channel".) This comment field is available for general description. It is used to annotate the waveform. It can be overwritten as desired. When a signal is first selected, its signal description appears in this field (if it has been defined by the machine builder). If there is no signal description, the signal name appears, and is appended with a channel/axis/drive index (if it exists). If the signal is an integer, this field can be used to specify an optional Bit Mask. The signal value is ANDed with this Bit Mask before it is displayed. After masking, all the selected bits are squeezed to the right so that the bit/bits appear as if they start at bit 0 (e.g. if all but bit 7 were masked, the resulting integer would have a value of either 0 or 1, not 0 or 128; if all but bits 7 and 0 were masked, the resulting integer would have a value of either 0, 1, 2 or 3 [not 0, 1, 128 or 129). (Read-only) This field describes the signal's units (e.g. mm/min). This setting determines the number of digits to the right of the decimal point that will be displayed on the axis labels.

Units Decimal Places

Sync Scaling Set If there is a text string in this field, it synchronizes the described waveform with all other waveforms having the same text string. This collection of waveforms is called a synchronized scaling set. If this field is empty there is no synchronization of scaling. Example: Assume this text string is AxisPos for waveforms 2 and 3. Whenever the scaling of either is changed, the scaling for the other is changed as well. If either is stretched or shrunk, the other stretches or shrinks to match.

Signal Specification Signal ID

This field contains the identification of the signal in proprietary Sinumerik format. This field specifies the Machine Data number of the signal if one exists. (See the appropriate Sinumerik documentation for a definition of "Machine Data number".)

In addition to the fields described above, this dialog also includes the following buttons: Add This button calls up the Add Waveform dialog. This dialog allows the addition of an item to the list of waveforms to be recorded. (See the Chapter: Dialogs, Dialog: Add Waveform, for more information.) This button allows editing of the selected item. It brings up the same dialog as the Add button. This button removes the selected item from the list.

Edit Remove

Dialog: Add Waveform

The Add Waveform dialog (see the Fig. 4-3) appears when the Add button on the Waveforms page of the Setup dialog is pressed. In this dialog, the Event, Name and other characteristics of a signal are selected. The Add button can then be clicked to add that signal to the list of items to be recorded. There are five tabs across the top of the dialog. They allow the various methods of selection described in the next few pages. The following item is common to the screens associated with the first four tabs: Event This setting specifies when to record, on a per-point basis. (See the Chapter: Overview, How Trace is Used, List of Events.)

If a new waveform is added, the makeup of the session is changed. To ensure that settings always match data, and unless there are no waveforms displayed, the "Keep Data" dialog appears before access to the Add Waveforms dialog is allowed. This provides the opportunity to either save the session as it currently exists, or discard it. After the choice is made, new waveforms can be added as described in the following sections.

Add Waveform by Name

The By Name dialog (shown in Fig. 4-3) is the first of five dialogs that is accessible under Add Signal, and thus appears upon entry into this area. As its name states, it is used to select the signal "by name". The list on the right side of the dialog displays a list of names, IDs, and descriptions. (Descriptions are typically supplied by the machine builder.) The list can be sorted by any column by clicking on its heading. The list is filtered based on the password currently in effect.

Fig. 4-3

Add Waveform By Name This box provides a means to filter the list of names. Selections in this area cause the list to show either "All Variables", or to show only one category of variables (i.e., A:, B:, C:, etc.). Selecting one category shortens the list to make it easier to find a specific name. The content of each category is described on screen, in the dialog. This box acts as an additional filter, showing only variable names or IDs that contain the entered text. Even if only part of a name is entered, the list will be reduced to aid in finding a specific name. If the variable is an integer, this field can be used to specify an optional Bit Mask. The signal value is ANDed with this Bit Mask before it is displayed. After masking, all the selected bits are squeezed to the right so that the bit/bits appear to start at bit 0 (e.g. if all but bit 7 were masked, the resulting integer would have a value of either 0 or 1, not 0 or 128; if all but bits 7 and 0 were masked, the resulting integer would have a value of either 0, 1, 2 or 3 [not 0, 1, 128 or 129).

Based on the name selected, other "qualifiers" may be needed to identify it as a unique entity. Fields designed to assist in this identification will appear in the upper right of the dialog as needed (in this example shown as "Tool Area", "Point Tool Off", and "TN". For instance, in Fig. 4-3, above, the "Tool Area" field has a dropdown menu (not shown) that offers a list of tool areas from which to select. Often the selection from drop-down menu is self-explanatory, such as the case of the "Tool Area" field described above. Occasionally, however, the selection of a name will cause a field labeled "See DocOnCD" to appear. In these cases, the information required is very specific to the variable (e.g., the selection of an array index or an override). The detailed information needed to correctly select the entry can be found in DocOnCD under the name being configured.

Add Signal by Address

The By Address tab (shown Fig. 4-3) represents the second of five dialogs that is accessible under Add Signal. Rather than selecting by name, the signal can be identified by a PLC address or a BTSS path specification.

Note Access to this page is password-restricted.

There are two tabs on the "By Address" screen. "PLC Address" is the first tab, and is thus the default dialog when the "By Address" option is selected. Entries in the following fields are required to identify a specific address: Memory Range One of the following memory areas must be selected: 1. Input area 2. Output area 3. Bit memory area 4. Data block The specified offset is added to the starting address of the Memory Range. The resultant sum is the address of the selected variable. One of the following data types must be selected: 1. Character 2. Byte 3. Boolean 4. Integer 5. Word 6. Double Integer 7. Double Word 8. Real The memory location which is identified by the Memory Range and Offset will be interpreted as the identified Data Type.

Signals can also be identified by "BTSS Address". BTSS is an addressing scheme that is proprietary to Sinumerik. A high level of proficiency is required to use this method to identify signals. Information on the structure of BTSS addresses can be found elsewhere in Sinumerik documentation.

Add Signal by Function

Add Signal by Function will be implemented in a future release. It is not available at this time.

Add Signal "Event Only"

Signals can be added by "Event-Only". This is the special case where no data is recorded. (I.e., only the occurrence of the event is recorded.) Identification of the Event is all that is required to effect this type of recording. The choices in the dropdown menu are the same as the items in the Chapter: Overview: How Trace is Used, List of Events".

Add Signal "Recent"

When this tab is clicked, a list of the most recently used Event / Data combinations will be displayed for selection. A maximum of 20 signals are retained in the list. Unless marked as a "favorite", the oldest signal is dropped when a new signal is added. The following buttons are provided: Add to Favorites This button marks the highlighted signal with "***" in the "Favorite" column. The entry will then be kept in the list even if it has not been used recently. Remove This button removes the highlighted entry from the Recently Used List.

Fig. 4-4

Dialog: Setup Collection

The settings described in this section specify when collection (recording) is to start and when it is to stop. As these settings are changed, a graphic image (i.e., the bar across the window near the bottom) dynamically changes to illustrate how these settings affect the collection process. Note Depending on the capabilities of the version of Trace that is installed (driven by the version of NCK software), some of these choices may not be available and therefore will be hidden or disabled.

"When to Start" Collection (left side of screen, Fig. 4-4)

There are two choices in the drop-down menu for this feature, as shown directly below: Immediately This choice specifies that recording should start immediately when the start button is pressed (i.e. dont wait for any start trigger condition). This choice specifies that recording should start only if the start trigger condition has been satisfied. If so, the next setting specifies exactly when the recording starts, relative to the trigger: At Trigger start recording exactly at the time of the trigger Before Trigger start recording at the specified time before the trigger occurs (pre-trigger)

After Trigger start recording at the specified time after the trigger occurs (post-trigger) Specifics of the trigger condition are defined on the Setup Trigger page. Additionally, there are three checkboxes available to further define when collection should start: Automatic restart A check in this box will cause the trigger to re-arm each time the recording stops. This immediately places Trace back into the 'active' state, waiting for another trigger. After each trigger, the new waveforms are displayed as the new data is collected. Note: This selection is not valid for Endless Recording (see Fig. 4-7). Auto-Start at power on A check in this box activates Trace at power on. In addition to automatically being ready for a defined trigger, this feature also allows for the recording of data that occurs during the power-on sequence). Note: Triggers function the same during the power-on sequence as they do at any other time. Append data A check in this box causes new data (evoked by a new occurrence of the trigger) to be appended to old data. If the box is not checked, the new data replaces the old data. Note: If appended, the data will not represent a continuous timeframe. There will be time gaps within it. Note: This setting is useful in combination with the trigger setting Automatic restart. Note: This selection is not valid for Endless recording (see Fig. 4-7).

Keep data on NCU until stopped

A check in this box will cause Trace to keep recorded data on the NCU until recording is stopped (i.e., to defer offloading the data to the Trace HMI). If this box is not checked, Trace will offload recorded data from the NCU to the Trace HMI as soon as possible, even while recording is in progress. Note: If this box is checked, the "Data Limit" value (see next page) applies to storage on the NCU. If this box is not checked, the "Data Limit" value applies to storage on the Trace HMI.

"When to Stop" Collection (right side of screen, 4-6)

The upper drop-down menu has three choices. This area of the screen changes based on the choice, so a figure is provided for each, as shown directly below: Stop Trigger This choice specifies that termination of the recording is controlled by a predetermined Stop Trigger. The second drop-down menu can place a time qualifier on the Stop Trigger, as follows: At Trigger Recording stops exactly at the occurrence of the Stop Trigger. After Trigger Recording stops at the specified time after the trigger occurs (post-trigger).

Fig. 4-5 Stop Trigger

Time Limit

This choice specifies that the recording will occur only for the time period specified in the "Stop After" field. A Data Limit can also be set. If the Data Limit is reached, one of the two choices from the "At Data Limit" drop-down menu prevails, as follows: Discard Oldest Data Stop Collecting

Endless

This choice specifies that the recording continues until the recording is manually stopped. A circular buffer is used to store the recorded data, so only the most recent data will be available for display. (i.e., the oldest data may be lost.). The size of the circular buffer is specified in the "Data Limit" field. A check in the "Keep most recent" checkbox will cause only the specified number of seconds of data to be retained. Additionally, the data is limited by the Data Limit amount. No check in this box will cause data collection to be limited only by the Data Limit amount.

Setup Dialog for Simple Trigger Settings

The settings described in this section define the characteristics of the trigger. If the use of triggers is specified on the Setup Collection page, there is either a stop trigger, a start trigger or both. These triggers apply to all recording within a given session. If no triggers are specified on the Setup Collection page, this Setup Trigger page is not used (and is not available). Start Trigger/ Stop Trigger This pair of buttons can optionally be present. Two conditions are possible: Buttons present - Both a start and a stop trigger have been specified. Selection is mutually exclusive. On-screen data switches with the selection. Buttons not present - Either a start or a stop trigger has been specified. The data applies to the specified trigger. Note: As described above, if there are no triggers, the window in (see Fig. 4-8) above will not appear.

This setting specifies which signal will be used in the makeup of the trigger. The following selections are available: No trigger (i.e., field is left blank). Names of waveforms already defined for collection (can be accessed via drop-down menu). This setting specifies the type of test to be performed on the trigger waveform. The following selections are available: 1 Rising edge Recording begins or ends when the trigger transitions from lower to higher than the trigger level. 1 Falling edge Recording begins or ends when the trigger transitions from higher to lower than the trigger level. Equals Recording begins when the trigger is equal to the trigger level. Not equal to Recording begins when the trigger is not equal to the trigger level.

Dialog: Setup Sample Rates

Three entries in the List of Events (see the Chapter: Overview, How Trace is Used, List of Events) are cyclic in nature. They appear in the "Setup Sample Rates" dialog. This dialog allows a multiplier, or "skip count", to be applied to each of these Events to reduce their associated sampling rates (or, stated another way, increase their intervals). The multipliers must be positive whole numbers.

Note Unlike other tabbed pages of the Setup dialog, these settings (except "Colors...") apply to each graph window independent of other graph windows. Rename/Select Graph This setting selects the graph window to which the display settings are applied. The Graph Window name can also be modified from this dialog. Note: This field is not visible if only one Graph Window is present. Waveform Tabs This setting specifies the markings on the waveform tabs. The choices are: 1. Show Text - The complete text description / name of the waveform. 1. Show Numbers - The number of the waveform. 2. Show Both. Note: It may be preferable to show the text name if there are only a few signals; conversely, to reduce clutter, it may be preferable to show only the number if there are many signals. Colors This button calls up "Graph Window Colors" dialog. Through its use, the colors of the following components of the graph window may be changed: Background color. Grid lines color (major and minor). Axis labels color. To change the color of one of these items, click the "Select" button adjacent to it. A standard color selection dialog will appear. The desired waveform color can be defined by simple selection, or custom colors can be defined using the associated button. Scaling (both X and Y Axes) These settings determine the type of scaling for the graphs' axes. The choices are: Linear scaling Logarithmic scaling Note: Logarithmic scaling is not allowed for the X axis if Graph Style is Y vs. Time. Grid Lines (both X and Y Axes) A check in one or both of these boxes determines if either the horizontal grid lines, vertical grid lines, or both, are visible.

The numeric readout on the toolbar reflects the X and Y positions of the selected sample point on the active waveform. The cursor can be dragged to a desired sample point, or can be incrementally moved from point to point using the arrows on the Measurement Cursor toolbar.

4.10 Safety Integrated Acceptance Test Wizard

(for SinuCom NC Version 06.03.07) Background and Definitions
EC Machine Directive EN954-1 (Control Category 3) requires the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to: run acceptance testing on safety-relevant functions and machine parts. generate an "Acceptance Test Certificate" showing the test results. The Safety Integrated Acceptance Test Wizard ("SI Wizard") is a "front end" designed to accomplish the above tasks. It eases the work of the OEM by: Providing a standard way of adding the needed safety measures through the use of a user interface which has the look and feel of other components within SinuCom NC. Minimizing the number of steps involved in performing a given test. Integrating/automating the test instructions, test actions, collection of data and generation of the Acceptance Test Certificate in "wizard format". Allowing the user to determine pass/fail status of each test (i.e., the decisionmaking process is not automated). Making the test results easy to view, clear and repeat as desired. Eliminating the addition of unnecessary sensors, wiring and software.

Compatibility with Siemens Software

SinuCom NC Must be version 06.03.07 or later. NCK Must be version 06.04.11 or later.

Acceptance Test Certificate

The Acceptance Test Certificate is generated in the same language that has been selected as the SinuCom NC UI language. It is produced as a file in Rich Text Format (RTF). RTF is a standard format compatible with many text editors, including MicroSoft Word.

4.10.1

A Hands-On Example:
The easiest way to learn about the SI Wizard is to actually use it. This section illustrates the basic use of the tool in step-by-step fashion. 1. Activate SinuCom NC. 2. Click "Diagnosis" in the SinuCom NC main menu. 3. Click "SI Acceptance Test" in the Diagnosis menu. The "Introduction/ Overview" Screen will appear. 4. Key in representative data in the fields on the right side of the screen. Entries made here describe the test environment, and will ultimately appear on the Acceptance Test Certificate. Field descriptions are as follows: Machine designation The machine name (e.g., "Polaris 9000"). Machine type The kind of machine (e.g., knee mill). Serial number The unique serialized number assigned to the machine by the OEM. Manufacturer The machine maker, or OEM. PLC version manufacturer The manufacturer of the PLC. Ultimate customer The end-user of the machine. Name of tester The person running the test. Series machine startup Check if the machine is part of a production run of similar machines. "Safe programmable logic" "SPL" is a pair of independent, redundant code modules that monitor safety-related sensors. One module resides in the NCK. The other resides in the PLC. The results of one module are continually compared with the other. For additional information, refer to DocOnCD and search for "SPL". 5. Click "Functional Relationships" in the List of Tests on the left side of the screen. The "Summary Functional Relationships" screen will appear.

Note "Functional Relationships" was chosen for this example because it is a basic type of test. It simply allows manual entry of any test, and the results of the test. 6. Click the "Begin This Test" button. The "Results New Test" screen will appear.

4-69

06.03

7. Note that a "New Test" has been added to the List of Tests under "Functional Relationships". 8. Click the "Continue Test" button. The "Results New Test" screen is now updated to allow tester to perform any test that is desired. The tester can manually name the test, and and can document the Test Trigger Condition and Result in the fields provided. The name given to the test now appears in the List of Tests. 9. Select "Click here if functional test valid". The test is now marked as "passed (green check). 10. Click the "Finish" button near the bottom of the screen. The "Finished" screen will appear. 11. Click the "Generate Certificate" button. Because the test suite for this example is not complete, a prompt asking if a partial certificate will appear. 12. Click "Yes". A standard Windows "Save" dialog box will appear. 13. Key in a path and filename and click the "Save" button. he saved file is the Acceptance Test Certificate. View its contents to complete this hands-on example.

4.10.2

Common Screen Contents

All SI Wizard screens consist of two major display regions: A Selection/Status Pane (i.e., the List of Tests on the left) A Dialog Pane (i.e., the area on the right). The following features are found at the top of each screen: The Test Title (e.g., Wiring Cross Check Test), or Welcome Message for the Introduction/Overview screen. The screen type (e.g., Introduction/Overview, Summary, Running Test, Results, or Finished). A prompt below the Test Title or Welcome Message that contains contextspecific instructions for user action. The "Next Page", "Previous Page" and "Finish" buttons appear at the bottom left. They are useful for navigating within and among tests. Buttons for Cancel and Help appear at the bottom right. Note The Cancel button terminates the wizard, but may request further confirmation before termination is allowed.

4-70

06.03

4 SinuCom NC: Functions 4.10 Safety Integrated Acceptance Test Wizard

The Selection/Status Pane

The Selection/Status pane (left side of initial screen) has two main functions: Display of status information pertaining to individual tests and the overall acceptance test. Navigation between test steps and between test results. Initially, this list contains one entry per test step with a final entry, Finished, used primarily for status. Tests are displayed under the appropriate test step as they are invoked. They appear in one of three states: Enabled Tests Tests that are appropriate for the machine type and must be run. Disabled Tests Tests that are inappropriate for the machine type and feature content and cannot be run. (I.e., tests that require Safe Programmable Logic are unavailable if that feature is not present.) Deselected Tests - Tests that have been specified as not applicable for the current machine configuration by the user. Tests are deselected by navigating to the individual test and then deselecting the test by checking a checkbox on the test summary screen.

As tests are performed, the list is modified to show the status of individual tests. Fig. 4-9, below, is an example of the results of three tests: Test1 (passed, "Pulse Disable Path" step). Operator Door (passed, "External Stops" step). Tool Chain Door (failed, "External Stops" step).

Fig. 4-9

Status Display with Test Results

4-71

4 SinuCom NC: Functions 4.10 Safety Integrated Acceptance Test Wizard

06.03

Note Status of a given test is displayed as an indented entry that appears beneath the corresponding test step. If a test involves multiple test sequences and results, the individual results are added in the order they are run. The status of each test is indicated by one of the following icons: Test has been run and has passed. Test has been run and has failed. Test is currenty being run. (I.e., test is incomplete). The tester can take action on the test results by right clicking anywhere within the Selection/Status display. A window appears that offers the following choices: Load Test Results... (allows previously-recorded test results to be retreived from a file). Save Test Results... (allows current test results to be stored in a file). Reset All Tests (erases all current test results). The last entry in the List of Tests is labeled Finished. Initially, this entry is disabled (greyed) and is enabled upon completion of at least one iteration of each of the tests (regardless of pass/fail status).

The Dialog Pane

The Dialog Pane (right side of initial screen) contains interactive information that is specific to the test that has been selected in the Selection/Status Pane. Since most tests have similar operational steps (i.e., setup, induce the failure, and verify the results) each of the dialogs has generally the same operational model. Each test is typically represented by three screen types: Test Summary Screen Describes the purpose, procedure, and any warnings associated with the test. Pressing the "Begin This Test" button advances the dialog to the "Running Test Screen". Running Test Screen Provides a step-by-step series of prompts such as: - Establish initial conditions (e.g., select the appropriate axis, etc.) - Start the test (will also auto-start the data collection) - Terminate data collection (automated if possible) - Select data to be saved - Restore initial conditions (usually a prompt for the operator to restore the machine)

4-72

06.03

4 SinuCom NC: Functions 4.10 Safety Integrated Acceptance Test Wizard

Note One or more steps may be automated, and thus may not appear. Each step of each step has colored a number box with the following color code: Green box - indicates a completed step. The user cannot progress to next step without completing the current step. Yellow box - indicates the current step. The prompt that appears in the display area at the top of the dialog applies to this step. Gray box - indicates an upcoming step. Test Results Screen This screen: - Allows manual entry of the pass/fail status of the test. - Allows entry of observations for test results, if required. (Prompting that includes the captured data from the Running Test screen may occur.). - Provides a Repeat This Test button at end of test, if appropriate. - Provides a Delete Test Results button at end of test, if appropriate.

Note If "Repeat This Test" is selected, results from the current test are NOT discarded. (Test data is discarded only when "Delete This Test" is selected.) Repeating is appropriate when the same test is run multiple times with different commissioning (e.g., tests performed on multiple I/O points or axes.)

4.10.3

Other Tests
A variety of tests can be run using the SI Wizard. These are listed in the Selection/Status Pane. They run in a fashion similar to that illustrated in the Handson Example, but are typically more structured than the example. By following the steps outlined in each test, appropriate results will be obtained for the Acceptance Test Certificate.

6 SinuCom ARC: Functions 6.3 Editing the archive contents

Importing the ARC

The ARC file is imported by selecting it in the window and then starting the function "File -> Import": The target and "description file" containing the import instruction is displayed in the dialog box "Import from".

Description file
For all ARC import actions, whether to an empty or existing archive, a description file containing the individual instructions for the import action must be specified. Each line of the file is read in and interpreted. Comments are either separated from the instruction itself by a ";" or stand alone in a line preceded by a ";" at the beginning of the line. The following commands are possible: "$$ROOT$$ = path name" : Path name: Absolute path within the file system of the operating system. Specifies the path from which all relative paths in the following instructions are located. This instruction can occur several times within a single file. "Path_nameOS = Path_nameArchive" : This instruction ensures that the content of Path_nameOS becomes the content of Path_nameArchive. Path_nameArchive is always an absolute path within the archive hierarchy in every instruction. Path_nameOS can be either a relative or absolute path. If Path_nameOS is a directory, Path_nameArchive is always interpreted as such, and the files and subdirectories of Path_nameOS are added to Path_nameArchive. The system attempts to create Path_nameArchive if it does not exist. If Path_nameOS is a file, Path_nameArchive must also assume a file name. The content of file Path_nameOS becomes the content of the file Path_nameArchive. If Pathname_Archive already exists, you are asked whether you want to overwrite the content. If the file does not yet exist, the program tries to create the file. Path_nameOS > Path_nameArchive" : With this instruction, Path_nameOS is placed in directory Path_nameArchive. Path_nameArchive is then always an absolute path to a directory in the archive. If it does not exist, the program tries to create it. Path_nameOS can be either a relative or absolute path. If Path_nameOS is a directory, the directory and all the data it contains (files and subdirectories) are placed in Pathname_Archive. If Pathname_OS is a file, it is entered in Pathname_Archive under the same name. If this file already exists, you are asked whether it should be overwritten.

7.1 Operation
The service tool SINUCOM PCIN is operated with the mouse or keyboard, the online Help is called up with the softkey "About" "Help".

7.2 Functions
Configuring the RS-232 interface (softkey RS-232 Config)
You can set the RS-232 interface according to your individual needs and the requirements of the connected device, softkey RS-232 Config (or F1) . When you press the softkey, the selection image showing the various parameters is displayed. You now select one of the four settings with one of the assigned keys. (softkeys shift F1 to shift F4). Flow control The flow control controls the serial communication (data transmission) between transmitter and receiver. Both a hardware and a software procedure exist: XON and XOFF software procedure (handshaking) for flow control with serial data transmission. The receiver signals to the transmitter whether the data can be received (XON) or not (XOFF). DTR / DSR and RTS / CTS: Hardware procedure (handshaking) for flow control with serial data transmission. Note Wherever possible, hardware handshaking should be used as this is much quicker.

Transmission with error detection and correction

With SINUCOM PCIN you can activate the protocol Transmission with error detection and correction (ZMODEM): High degree of error detection If transmission fails, it is resumed again precisely at the point at which it was interrupted. Adapts the size of the transmitted blocks to the transmission conditions. If an error occurs during transmission, transmission is not aborted. The protocol attempts to resume data transmission from the point of interruption. This happens automatically. After five failed attempts transmission is then aborted. Note You can only activate transmission with error detection and correction with hardware handshaking RTS/CTS.
