Common Data Interface for Wood Working Machines

The following interface description is designed for the structured representation of the data
relevant to the manufacturing process.
It does not contain any machine specific data. This allows the interface to be used as a
common data interface.
If there is a need to prepare the data stored in this interface for some special wood working
machine or some special control, then these data should be imported by a suitable CAM
system and then properly processed.

If no referenceplane is declared,

If there is a referenceplane declared,

the parameters of the processings refer
to this coordinate system.

The referenceplane refers to the referenceside, which is defined in the PROCESSKEY.

If the referenceside in the PROCESSKEY is zero, the referenceplane refers to the part coordinate system.

8. SCALEUNIT Position of the decimal point from the right in a "Parameter type"
The unit of metric parameters is millimeter and the unit of angles is degree.
Example: If scaleunit=1 the precision is 1/10, if scaleunit=2 the precision is 1/100.
Each Parameter with format "Parameter type" is multiplied with a scaleunit factor, rounded
and written to the btl-file.
Example: If value of parameter P01 is 123.2345678mm and SCALEUNIT is 2, then P01=00012323.
And if SCALEUNIT=1, then P01=00001232.
It is same for parameters, which contain a flag, a bit or an integer value like P04 for Lap Joint.
Example: If value of parameter P04 is 15 and scaleunit is 2, then P01=00001500.
And if scaleunit=1, then P01=00000150.

The contour and its associated contour are defined on the same referenceside.
The contour and the associated contour are connected via the processidents of
their respective starting points. The parameter P06 of the starting point of the
Pt 8
contour (P08=100) references the associated contour, whereas the parameter P06 Pt 3
of the starting point of the associated contour (P08=101) references the contour.

in the first segment (startpoint) of the contour, they are valid for the whole contour.

If no Tool ID is specified, the machine has to select a tool.

If P15 is defined for the startpoint, its value is valid for the whole contour.
If P15 is defined in a following segment, it overrides the P15 of the startpoint only for this segment.

6.46 Variant 0-900-X, 1-900-X, 2-900-X, 3-900-X, 4-900-X

With this type the user can define his own processings. In addition to the parameters of a
processing he has to specify the machining by an Integer value in the PROCESSKEY line.

Example:

Code (Integer value) of the variant

Comment or name of the variant (optional)

The parameters P01 to P15 can be used to describe the processing.

In order to avoid numbering conflicts and ensure interoperability of variants of different manufacturers,
variants should be sent to design2machine. They will then be published on the design2machine
homepage and will eventually be defined as a standard processing in a later BTL version.

End of loop over the parts

Loop over the composites

[COMPOSITE]

The composite has the same attributes as a part. It further has an attribute TYPE (see below).
Composites are virtual building blocks, they simplify the composition in the prefabrication process.
Each type of composite is optional, i.e. each combination of composites can be used as required
by the prefabrication process.
The composite types have a hierarchical ordering:

TYPE: MODULE A composite of type MODULE can contain:

Parts and processings.

LAYER A composite of type LAYER can contain:

Composites of type MODULE,
parts and processings.

ELEMENT A composite of type ELEMENT can contain:

Composites of type MODULE, LAYER,
parts and processings.

ELEMENTCHARGE A composite of type ELEMENTCHARGE can contain:

Composites of type MODULE, LAYER, ELEMENT,
parts and processings.

In the btl file, the composites should be arranged in the order of the types, i.e. first all composites of
type MODULE, then all of type LAYER, then all of type ELEMENT and last all of type ELEMENTCHARGE.

Loop over the processings for a composite

PROCESSKEY: 0-300-0 With this key a part or a composite is set to the composite.
Subpart refers to the coordinate-system of the
superior composite.

REFERENCEPLANE: OX: Parameter type Coordinate triple origin of the part-coordinate-system

OY: Parameter type
OZ: Parameter type
XX: Parameter type Direction vector of the local x axis
XY: Parameter type
XZ: Parameter type
YX: Parameter type Direction vector of the local y axis
YY: Parameter type
YZ: Parameter type
PROCESSPARAMETERS: UID: Integer UID of the transformation of the part or composite
