 1 General information

1 General information
The application describes the connection of the HUBITRON HBG 800-DP and
HBG 800-DP FS wireless handwheels to a SINUMERIK 840D sl, as well as their
operation.
Because this application can be used for both handwheel types as well as the
SINUMERIK 840D sl, 840D, 840Di sl and 840Di controller types, only the HBG
800-DP and SINUMERIK 840D sl types are mentioned in the subsequent
description.
In the application example, the HBG 800-DP emulates partially the buttons on the
MCP310/MCP483 machine control panel (MCP).
The assigned buttons of the HBG 800-DP front foil supplied from HUBITRON are
supported in the application. The free foil buttons are used as follows:

Button 4 selects axis 4

Button 16 selects axis 5 and further axes
Button 8 is assigned for the channel selection
Button 15 switches between the workpiece-related and the machine-related
position display
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

Button 14 switches between the workpiece- and the machine-coordinate

system

The application has been implemented for the HBG 800-DP with its factory
settings.

NOTICE After the application has been integrated, it is the responsibility of the user to
thoroughly check the safety-relevant functions of the machine!

1.1 Prerequisites

 1 General information

1.2 Installing the wireless handwheel

A description and circuit diagram for the HBG 800-DP wireless handwheel are
provided with the product when delivered, or are available at

www.hubitron.de/downloads.htm

Electrically install the device according to the circuit diagram.

Note Observe the manufacturer's instructions!

For SINUMERIK 840D/840Di it is necessary to connect the handwheel cable.
This is not required for SINUMERIK 840D sl / 840Di sl, provided the handwheel
pulses are transferred using PROFIBUS DP.

Use dip switches to set the required PROFIBUS DP address at the connecting
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

adapter of the HBG 800-DP.

With the factory setting (Invert Out) of the manufacturer, the 'Feed Stop' and
'Spindle Stop' signals have a sensible switching behavior. If you do not wish to
use the HBG 800-DP wireless handwheel with this default setting, then this can
be changed in the HBG Setup mode.

1.3 Machine data

The 'Handwheel travel in JOG' and 'Start-up: Handwheels' machine data
described in the function descriptions must be used for the wireless handwheel.

1.3.1 Machine data setting for the HBG handwheel impulse transfer with
PROFIBUS DP for SINUMERIK 840D sl / 840Di sl.

Index i = handwheel number in the NCK-1 (example for handwheel 2 => index i =
2-1 =1)
NC-MD11350 $MN_HANDWHEEL_SEGMENT[i] = 5 (PROFIBUS DP)
NC-MD11351 $MN_HANDWHEEL_MODULE[i] = Index +1
NC-MD11352 $MN_HANDWHEEL_INPUT[i] = 1
NC-MD11353 $MN_HANDWHEEL_LOGIC_ADDRESS[i] = address from the
STEP7 hardware configuration of the HBG 'Encoder' module (see Figure 2-1).

 2 Adaptations to the PLC program

2 Adaptations to the PLC program

An example for integrating the PLC function "HBG800DP" is saved in the project
'HUB_730_3PN_PLC_V02' of the archive 'Hub_730_3pn_plc_v02.zip'.
The project contains a variable table 'VAT_HBG800_V02' for the diagnostic
support of the PLC function.

2.1 Connecting the HBG 800-DP to PROFIBUS DP

The GSD file, as well as additional documentation on the device, are provided on a
data storage medium, which belongs to the scope of the HBG 800-DP wireless
handwheel. Install the file 'HBG_AFFE.GSD' with 'HBG_1N.BMP' and update the
catalog in the SIMATIC Manager. The wireless handwheel can be found in the
catalog 'Standard \ PROFIBUS DP \...' (see Fig. 2-1). Open the 'HBG800-DP
Gateway V1.00' directory, and drag 'HBG800-DP' to the existing PROFIBUS DP
master. Assign the PROFIBUS DP address as was selected in Section1.2 along
with the input and output addresses of the module. These must be assigned so
that they are contiguous and without any gaps. If the handwheel pulses are
transferred using PROFIBUS DP, the address of the 'Encoder' module must be
located within the I/O area. An address assignment example is shown in Fig. 2-1.
Save the changed configuration with the 'Save and compile' function!

2.3 Blocks used

Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

For the HBG 800-DP function expansion, the following blocks are also required in
addition to the blocks mentioned in Section 2.2:

"GET", FB 2 function from the basic PLC program for the corresponding
controller version (gp8x0d.. or bp7x0_..).

Only for SINUMERIK 840D sl variants

The use of the 'HBG800DP_V0200_sl.AWL' source code for SINUMERIK
840D sl requires the "BHGDisp" function, FC 13 from the bg7x0 PLC basic
program.

Only for SINUMERIK 840D variants

The use of the 'HBG800DP_V0200.AWL' source code for SINUMERIK 840D
requires the "DI_STRING" function, FC 5 from the STEP7 library
'StandardLibrary \ IEC Function Blocks \ Blocks'. If FC 5 already exists in the
basic PLC program, copy FC 5 "DI_STRING", insert it in the 'Blocks' directory
of your own project and rename it. The symbol list is adapted automatically.
Refer to the example HUB_730_3PN_PLC_V02, where "DI_STRING" FC 5
has been renamed as FC505.

2.4 Source code

The blocks listed in the symbol list in Section 2.2 can be generated by compiling
the source code files.
'HBG800DP_V0200.AWL' for SINUMERIK 840D / 840 Di or
'HBG800DP_V0200_sl.AWL' for SINUMERIK 840D sl / 840Di sl
The source code has English mnemonics. Place the required STL file in the
'Source' directory of your own PLC project using the "Insert new object / external
source" function of the SIMATIC Manager.
Before compiling the source code, you must customize the RD1 and RD2
parameters of the first FB2 "GET" call in the file. Enter for "hbg" the DB address of
the 'HBG' symbol specified in the symbol list.

Example:
RD1:= P#DB"hbg".DBX884.0 … RD1:=P#DB506.DBX884.0…
RD2:= P#DB"hbg".DBX892.0 … RD2:=P#DB506.DBX892.0…

Then compile the HBG800DP_V0200.AWL or HBG800DP_V0200_sl.AWL source

code in accordance with the controller variant.

2.5 Integrating the "HBG800_DP" function in the PLC user

program
Users must integrate the "HBG800_DP" function into their PLC program so that
when the wireless hand-held terminal is active, the machine is operated only from
the wireless handwheel. If, before calling the "HBG800_DP" function, the machine
control panel buttons are to be evaluated, this can be interlocked using an
appropriate logic operation with the 'HBG_Active' parameter.

The "HBG800_DP" function must be called immediately before the "MCP_IFM"/

"MCP_IFM2" function. Please refer to the example below.
The function also uses a data block reserved for it (in the example shown below,
DB506) whose DBB0 – DBB9 data area is free for OEM PLC applications.

 2 Adaptations to the PLC program

2.8 Adapting the "HBG800_DP" function

The OEM can change the HBG800DP_V02...AWL source code to customize the
functions of the wireless handwheel to its own requirements. The possibilities are
described in the following sections.

2.8.1 Free OEM data storage

The "HBG" data block defined in the symbol list (see Section 2.2) makes the data
bytes 0 – 9 available to the users for integration of the "HBG800_DP" function in
their PLC program.

2.8.2 OEM text

The variable 'Text_1_OEM' contains general information that is displayed when the
HBG 800-DP is switched on. For the application example, the following text

HBG 800-DP
SIN840D sl
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

is entered. The OEM can save its own information here, such as company name,
machine type.
Note: Variables with defined text lengths are stored in the '// Start OEM
modifications of HBG application' area of the 'HBG' data block. Any changes to
these text lengths require a change to the preassigned pointers and consequently
all subsequent pointers must be adapted.

2.8.3 Display resolution

The 'NC_MD510xy' variable can be used to adapt the display resolution of the
HBG 800-DP to the controller in the '// Start OEM modifications of HBG application'
area of the data block.

2.8.4 Axis selection

This function uses the channel axis number to determine the information of the axis
names, the current axis values (such as position and speed) and the machine axis
number. If no machine axis number is assigned to a channel axis number, its
selection causes the

SIN840D sl
ModeGr Ch

text to be displayed. A new axis selection is required.

HBG 800-DP can be used to specify the axis selection for each channel in the '//
Start OEM modifications of HBG application' area of the 'DATA BLOCK HBG'.
The axis selection button for the channel axis assignment is defined in the
'ChanAx_No_Chx' (x = channel number) variables. This makes it possible to

HUBITRON HBG800-DP wireless handwheel

Entry ID: 70989159, V2.0, 04/2014 14
 2 Adaptations to the PLC program

specify the sequence or cause the axes to be hidden. Because of the Axis
selection button to the Geometry axis assignment, 'ChanAx_No_Chx[1]' to
'ChanAx_No_Chx[3]' should not be changed.
Axis selection button 1 is assigned to 'ChanAx_No_Chx[1]', axis selection button 2
is assigned to 'ChanAx_No_Chx[2]', etc. 'ChanAx_No_Chx[5]' to maximum
'ChanAx_No_Chx[20]' are selected using axis selection button 5; after the number
of active channel axes is reached, the numbering begins with 'ChanAx_No_Chx[5]'
again. The value of the array includes the channel axis number.

Note The separating of the channel axis numbers and the filling of the freed axes with
'0'’ in the 'ChanAx_No_Chx' parameter produces the most efficient axis selection
on the HBG 800-DP for the operator.

Application examples for channel 1 with eight axes are shown in Table 2-3.

2.8.5 Lock or release MCP buttons

With activated wireless handwheel, the buttons and the switch of the MCP are
locked, except for the 'Reset', 'Spindle Hold' and 'Feed Hold' buttons. The
'HBG_Release_Cus_Key' = 'FALSE' or 'TRUE' parameter can be used to lock or
release the free customer buttons.

NOTICE The user is responsible for releasing the locked MCP buttons. The user must
also guarantee safety for man and machine by the releasing this button lock.

In the 'HBG On/Off' network, 'Skip inputs of MCP' area of the 'HBG800_DP'
function, it is possible to specifically release or lock buttons of the machine control
panel, for example the RESET button. The buttons are masked using the
instruction 'L DW#16#Wert' and can be affected by adding or subtracting the bit-
specific value in the corresponding byte.

Example:
The RESET button must be locked for the MCP483. The associated signal is bit 7
of the input byte (n+3). The instruction 'L DW#16#00001580' masks byte (n+0 –
n+3) of the input area. The first two left-justified positions of the numerical value
cover 8 bits (bit 7 – 4 and bit 3 – 0) of byte (n+0). Bit 7 has a significance of 8. You
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

must subtract this value from the value 8 of bits 4 – 7 of byte (n+3). Replace the
value 'DW#16#00001580' with the value 'DW#16#00001500' for locking the
RESET button.

3.2.2 Display information

Pressing an axis selection button selects the desired axis. The selection is
indicated by the LED assigned to the selection button illuminating.
The axis name is displayed with maximum five characters and the position value of
the selected axis in the first text line of the display. The position value display is
shifted to the right if the read position value requires more positions than available
in the display. If in this situation the INC machine function is selected, e.g. by
pressing the handwheel button, the position value is shifted to the left so that all
decimal places are displayed. The deselection of the INC machine function, e.g. by
pressing the jogging button, clears the display.
The current values for the speed and the override of the selected axis are
displayed in the second text line. They are replaced with the S value and the
spindle override value when a spindle is selected.

Note With SINUMERIK 840D, but not SINUMERIK 840D sl, for very large position
values, the position display of the HBG 800-DP, when compared to the position
display of the controller, can deviate by several increments at the last decimal
places.

3.3 Safety buttons

Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

To select 'Feed start', 'Spindle start' and for axis movements, both safety buttons of
the HBG 800-DP must be pressed simultaneously previously. This is also
necessary after clearing the 'HBG Stop', 'NC Alarm' and 'Reset' messages.

3.4 Selecting a channel

The third button from the left in the second button row of the HBG 800-DP can be
used to select the channel for multi-channel applications from which the axes can
be selected for traversing. When the channel is selected, the following information
appears

SIN840D sl
ModeGr Ch

This shows from which mode group and channel the axes are selected. When
pressed initially, the channel number is incremented; if this channel is located in
another mode group, it will also be updated. When the last channel number is
reached, the numbering begins again with the first displayed channel number
(normally ModeGr1 CH1).

3.5 Selecting an axis

Pressing an axis selection button selects the desired axis. When the LED
associated with the axis selection button illuminates, traversal of the axis is
possible. The axis selection buttons 1 – 4 have a permanent axis assignment. The
fifth axis selection button (first button row, third button from the left) can be used to
select axis 5 and other axes. The selection of the last axis reselects the fifth axis.
The selected axis can now be traversed in jog or handwheel operation.

3.6 Traversing an axis

3.6.1 Jogging

The initial pressing of the jog operation button causes the handwheel function to be
deselected and jog operation to be activated. The selection is indicated by the LED
assigned to the jog operation button illuminating.
To traverse the selected axis, the two safety buttons must be pressed
simultaneously previously and then one of the axis movement buttons pressed.
When the jog operation button is pressed again, the INC1 machine function is
selected and the 'I1' increment value appears in the second text line instead of the
F or S value. When the button is pressed again, the increment is increased; when
the F or S value reappears in the display, the INC machine function is deactivated.

3.6.2 Handwheel

The handwheel is activated by pressing the handwheel button. When the button is
pressed initially, jog operation is deselected and the INC1 machine function
selected. The 'I1' increment value appears in the second text line rather than the F
Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

or S value. Pressing the button again increases the increment. INC1 is reselected
when the maximum value is reached.
To traverse the axis, the two safety buttons must be pressed simultaneously
previously and then the handwheel activated.

3.7 Switchover of the WCS/MCS display system

The right-hand button of the first button row of the HBG 800-DP can be used to
switch the position display of the axis between workpiece position and the
machines position. The position display is made with the metric/inch unit system of
the display system. With the display of the workpiece position, the LED assigned to
the button illuminates. The selection of the workpiece coordinate system (WCS)
suppresses the switchover. In spindle operation, spindles are always displayed
with the axis designator of the machine display system (MCS). In axis operation,
spindles in the WCS display system receive the channel-specific axis designator.

3.8 Switchover of the WCS/MCS coordinate system

The right-hand button of the second button row of the HBG 800-DP emulates the
'WCS MCS' button of the machine control panel. The LED in the button is switched
together with the 'WCS MCS' LED of the MCP. When the button is pressed, the
selected axis is deselected and the following text appears

HBG 800-DP
SIN840D sl

When the button is pressed, a switchover is made between the workpiece

coordinate system (WCS) and the machine coordinate system (MCS). If the
workpiece coordinate system is selected, the WCS display system is preset
automatically.

 3 Operating the application

The X, Y, Z axis selection buttons are used to select the desired geometry axis in
the workpiece coordinate system (WCS). If the WCS coordinate system with active
transformation is selected, the geometry axis involved with the transformation will
be identified with the 'Geo' suffix to the axis name, e.g. 'XGeo'. This indicates to the
user that a different machine axis performs the movement. If the machine
coordinate system (MCS) with active transformation is selected, the channel axis
involved with the transformation is displayed with the name of the assigned
geometry axis, e.g. 'XGeo'. Machine axes retain their axis identifier.

3.9 DRF (Differential Resolver Function) handwheel

function
With the detection of the DRF handwheel function, the axis selection using the
HBG selects automatically the MCS coordinate system, as well as the INC 1
machine function and the handwheel. The text 'DRF' appears instead of the
override value. The handwheel button can be used to change the increment!
The position display of the selected axis shows with the MCS display system the
machine position; the WCS display system displays the DRF offset.
To traverse the axis, the two safety buttons must be pressed simultaneously
previously and then the handwheel pressed.
