Page 68 Offset contour normal OFFN (transformation type 513) To mill grooves with TRACYL, the following is programmed: ● Groove center line in the part program ● Half the groove width programmed using OFFN. To avoid damage to the groove side OFFN acts only when the tool radius compensation is active. Furthermore, OFFN should also be >= the tool radius to avoid damage occurring to the opposite side of the groove.
Page 69: Linear Interpolation
● Guiding grooves: TRACYL does not create the same groove for guiding grooves as it would be with a tool with the diameter producing the width of the groove. It is basically not possible to create the same groove side geometry with a smaller cylindrical tool as it is with a larger one.

Page 72: Circular Interpolation
Circular interpolation 8.4.1 Circular interpolation: G2, G3 Functionality The tool moves from the starting point to the end point along a circular path. The direction is determined by the G function: G2: clockwise G3: counter-clockwise The description of the desired circle can be given in various ways: See the following illustration for possibilities of circle programming with G2/G3 using the example of the axes X/Y and G2: G2/G3 remains active until canceled by another instruction from this G group (G0, G1, ...).
Page 73 Note Further possibilities for circle programming result from: CT - circle with tangential connection and CIP - circle via intermediate point (see next sections). Input tolerances for the circle Circles are only accepted by the control system with a certain dimensional tolerance. The circle radius at the starting and end points are compared here.

Page 80: Tapping With Compensating Chuck: G63
The drilling depth is specified by specifying one of the axes X, Y or Z; the thread pitch is specified via the relevant I, J or K. G33 remains active until canceled by another instruction from this G group (G0, G1, G2, G3...). Right-hand or left-hand thread Right-hand or left-hand thread is set with the rotation direction of the spindle (M3 right (CW), M4 left (CCW) - see Section "Spindle movements (Page 87)").
Page 81: Thread Interpolation: G331, G332
The compensating chuck compensates the resulting path differences to a certain limited degree. The drill is retracted using G63, too, but with the spindle rotating in the opposite direction M3 <-> M4. G63 is non-modal. In the block after G63, the previous G command of the "Interpolation type" group (G0, G1,G2, ...) is active again.
Page 82: Fixed Point Approach
Right-hand or left-hand thread The sign of the thread lead determines the direction of spindle rotation: Positive: right-hand (as with M3) Negative: left-hand (as with M4) Note A complete thread tapping cycle with thread interpolation is provided with the standard cycle CYCLE84. See the following illustration for tapping using G331/G332: Axis velocity For G331/G332, the velocity of the axis for the thread length results from the spindle speed and the thread lead.

The fixed point number is specified: <n> Value range of <n>: 1, 2, 3, 4 MD30610$NUM_FIX_POINT_POS should be set if fixed point number 3 or 4 is to be used.
Page 84: Acceleration Control And Exact Stop/Continuous Path
Acceleration control and exact stop/continuous path 8.7.1 Acceleration pattern: BRISK, SOFT BRISK The axes of the machine change their velocities using the maximum permissible acceleration value until reaching the final velocity. BRISK allows time-optimized working. The set velocity is reached in a short time. However, jumps are present in the acceleration pattern.
Page 85 Exact stop G60, G9 If the exact stop function (G60 or G9) is active, the velocity for reaching the exact end position at the end of a block is decelerated to zero. Another modal G group can be used here to set when the traversing movement of this block is considered ended and the next block is started.
Page 86: Dwell Time: G4
Continuous-path control mode G64 The objective of the continuous-path control mode is to avoid deceleration at the block boundaries and to switch to the next block with a path velocity as constant as possible (in the case of tangential transitions). The function works with look-ahead velocity control over several blocks.

Page 95 Information The tool length compensations are effective immediately once the tool is active - if no D number has been programmed - with the values of D1. The offset is applied with the first programmed traverse of the respective length offset axis. Observe any active G17 to G19. A tool radius compensation must also be activated by G41/G42.

Information As a rule, the block with G41/G42 is followed by the block with the workpiece contour.
Page 99: Corner Behavior: G450, G451
8.10.5 Corner behavior: G450, G451 Functionality By using the functions G450 and G451, you can set the behavior for a non-continuous transition from one contour element to another contour element (corner behavior) when G41/G42 is active. The internal and external corners are detected by the control system itself. For internal corners, the intersection of the equidistant paths is always approached.

Also check over multiple blocks that the contour contains no "bottlenecks". When carrying out a test/dry run, use the largest tool radius you are offered. Acute contour angles If very sharp outside corners occur in the contour with active G451 intersection, the control system automatically switches to transition circle.

Page 108: Conditional Program Jumps
8.14.2 Conditional program jumps Functionality Jump conditions are formulated after the IF instruction. If the jump condition (value not zero) is satisfied, the jump takes place. The jump destination can be a block with a label or with a block number. This block must be located within the program. Conditional jump instructions require a separate block.

Page 111 Set-up The structure of a subroutine is identical to that of a main program (see Section "Program structure (Page 50)"). Like main programs, subroutines contain M2 - end of program in the last block of the program sequence. This means a return to the program level where the subroutine was called from.
Page 112: Calling Machining Cycles
Please make sure that the values of your arithmetic parameters used in upper program levels are not inadvertently changed in lower program levels. When working with SIEMENS cycles, up to 4 program levels are needed. 8.15.2 Calling machining cycles Functionality Cycles are technology subroutines realizing a certain machining process generally, for example, drilling or milling.
Page 113: Modal Subroutine Call
8.15.3 Modal subroutine call Functionality The subroutine in the block containing MCALL is called automatically after each successive block containing a path motion. The call acts until the next MCALL is called. The modal call of the subroutine which contains MCALL or quitting of the call requires a separate block. MCALL is advantageous, for example, when producing drill patterns.

These messages do not interrupt the program execution and continue to be displayed on the screen until the next message appears.
Page 124: Graphical Cycle Support In The Program Editor
Graphical cycle support in the program editor The program editor in the control system provides programming support to add cycle calls to the program and to enter parameters. Function The cycle support consists of three components: 1. Cycle selection 2. Input screens for parameter assignment 3.
Page 125: Drilling Cycles
Drilling cycles 9.4.1 General information Drilling cycles are motional sequences specified according to DIN 66025 for drilling, boring, tapping, etc. They are called in the form of a subroutine with a defined name and a parameter list. The drilling cycles can be modal, that is, they are executed at the end of each block containing motion commands. Further cycles created by the user can also be called modally.
Page 126: Drilling, Centering - Cycle81
See the following illustration for length compensation: Dwell time programming The parameters for dwell times in the drilling cycles are always assigned to the F word and must therefore be assigned with values in seconds. Any deviations from this procedure must be expressly stated. 9.4.3 Drilling, centering - CYCLE81 Programming...
Page 127 Explanation of the parameters RFP and RTP (reference plane and retraction plane) Normally, reference plane (RFP) and retraction plane (RTP) have different values. The cycle assumes that the retraction plane precedes the reference plane. This means that the distance from the retraction plane to the final drilling depth is larger than the distance from the reference plane to the final drilling depth.

Page 169 Function Use CYCLE72 to mill along any contour defined in a subroutine. The cycle operates with or without cutter radius compensation. It is not imperative that the contour is closed. Internal or external machining is defined via the position of the cutter radius compensation (centrally, left or right to the contour).
Page 170 Sequence Position reached prior to cycle start: Starting position is any position from which the contour starting point can be approached at the height of the retraction plane without collision. The cycle generates the following sequence of motions when roughing: The depth infeeds are distributed equally with the maximum possible value of the specified parameters.
