Converting cycle programs
MANUALplus 4110 and CNC PILOT 640 have different solutions for
tool management, technology data, etc. Also, the cycles of the CNC
PILOT 640 have more parameters than those of the MANUALplus
4110.
Please note the following:
 Tool call: The loading of the T number depends on whether the
program is a "multifix program" (2-digit T number) or "turret program"
(4-digit T number).
 2-digit T number: The T number is loaded as "ID" and entered as
the T number "T1".
 4-digit T number (Tddpp): The first two digits of the T number (dd)
are loaded as "ID" and the last two (pp) as "T".
 Moving to the tool change point: In tool change point G14, the
converter enters the "no axis" setting. In the MANUALplus 4110 this
parameter is not used.
 Safety clearance: The safety clearances defined in the "general
settings" parameter are entered by the converter in the safety
clearance G47, ... SCI, ... SCK.
The names of imported cycle programs, ICP contour
descriptions, DIN programs and DIN subprograms are given
the prefix "CONV_..." In addition, the CNC PILOT adapts the
extension and imports the NC programs to the correct
folders.
