PLC
Programmable Logic Control: Programmable controller, which performs mainly logic
operations in the SINUMERIK system.
PLC keys
PLC keys are provided as hotkeys via the PLC interface of the HMI software. The functions
triggered by them in the HMI can be configured.
They take the form of MCP keys or evaluations of PLC signal logic operations. For this
reason, they are referred to as "virtual keys".
Programming support
Provision of → Dialogs to assist programmers in writing → Parts programs with "higher-level"
components
Configuration file
File, which contains definitions and instructions that determine the appearance of → Dialogs
and their → Functions.
Registers
Memory for data exchange between→ Dialogs.
Recompile
→ NC code sections can be generated in a → Parts program from input fields in → Dialogs in
the → Programming support system. Recompilation is the reverse operation. The input fields
used to generate a selected section of NC code are retrieved from the NC code and
displayed in the original dialog.
Setting data
Data, which communicates the properties of the machine tool to the NC control, as defined
by the system software. In contrast to → Machine data, setting data can be altered
immediately by the operator.
ShopMill
Optimized SINUMERIK application and user interface for 2½D milling operations.
ShopTurn
Optimized SINUMERIK application and user interface for turning operations.
