1 System Overview 06.03
1.1 The product "TDI Ident Connection"

1.1 The product "TDI Ident Connection"

"TDI Ident Connection" is a module of the TDI Tool Data Information (TDI)
package. TDI is part of the "Motion Control Information System" (MCIS) for
machine tools.

1.1.1 Motion Control Information System (MCIS)

The Motion Control Information System (MCIS) is a reliable, versatile, user-
oriented information system for mechanical production. It includes interfacing
features with numerical controls and programmable controllers allowing networking
of machine tools, cells, lines, even whole plants. As an integrated solution covering
several task areas, MCIS provides a common control, recording and evaluation
platform within the production process.

Various areas of automated production systems:

· Machining centers, CNC series machines
· Flexible lines
· Transfer lines
· Special machines
· Assembly lines
· Loaders and gantries

The MCIS is made up of functional packages that are used both in production
planning and directly at the production units. The individual packages are scalable,
functionally harmonized, and can be mixed and matched to meet specific functional
requirements.

Using these packages as part of the production process makes your production
facility an integral part of your IT environment.

The MCIS packages provide a modern solution concept that uses both interna-
tionally accepted technologies in the hardware and worldwide standards in the
software modules, methods, and interfaces. A range of process interfaces provides
ideal support for networking and integration of automation and production
equipment. Standardized interfaces in conjunction with standard software ensure
investment protection and subsequent expandability.

This information network provides necessary production data and information at

workstations at the planning and production level both quickly and always up to
date.
This enhances utilization and availability of the machines, increases the efficiency
of the plant overall and boosts productivity.

1.2 System layout Tool Data Information (TDI)

Objective
Tool data management is one of the central tasks of CNC production. This
demands smooth tool handling and a high degree of rationalization.
This is where the MCIS TDI comes into play. It makes this rationalization potential
transparent and provides functions that help attain the potential savings revealed.

· For a single machine, flexible transfer line, or for an entire machine park
· For highly-automated NC controls like SINUMERIK 810D/840D/840Di or for
controls based on SIMATIC S7
· For integration of tool setting stations or factory-wide tool management
systems such as the TDM of Walter

MCIS TDI uses the right connection concepts and functions to provide a complete
overview of the tools used and maintain a closed tool data circuit in production.

1.2.1 Module overview

MCIS TDI is a modular system from which you can combine the right modules for
every level of automation.

The following modules are available:

1.2.2 Deployment options

All TDI modules (except for TDI Machine and TDI Ident Connection, which can only
be assigned to one machine) are designed to operate both in stand-alone mode
and as networked groups.

Fig. 1-3 System structure, deployment options

The uncompromized design as a client-server solution and the use of state-of-the-

art communication mechanisms based on HTTP/XML allows flexible distribution of
the modules in the network and access from all points in the network. This means
up-to-date information is accessible wherever it is needed.

Production level
At the production level, all MCIS TDI modules can be used. On the one hand, the
modules offer integrated interfaces (IFC) for communication with the controls; on
the other, they provide interfaces for collecting all tool data, planning tool deploy-
ment and handling tool data.

MES level (Manufacturing Execution System)

Depending on the size of the plant/system, the server functionality (central data-
base, networking capability of all installed TDI modules) can be installed on a
computer on this level. Here too, the user can call all the functions of the individual
modules (except for TDI Ident Connection, TDI Machine).
Via the MCIS TDI function interface, it is possible to provide interfaces to other
MES systems, such as higher-level tool management systems (e.g. TDM of Walter
Infosysteme) or order planning systems (MCI PDA).

ERP level (Enterprise Resources Planning)

The ERP level consists of higher-level server systems with a database, e.g. the
production planning system (PPS) SAP.
The ERP level handles customer order processing, accounting, production
planning, and human resource planning.

Variable user interface design allows user interfaces to run both on a Windows PC
and on the operator panels of the SINUMERIK in standard and Transline HMI Pro
environments.

1.2.3 Solution variations

In each step, the customizing function (online, as well as offline at the PG/PC)
makes for user-friendly basic settings and function enabling.

Fig. 1-4 Solution concept with MCIS TDI

Based on the existing TDI modules, the server functions enable networking of all
units in such a way that an overview of all tool actual data can be displayed, e.g.
on a master control or on a control system.
Furthermore, the functions can be supplemented by the "TDI Interface Client" (IFC)
for coupling to other systems.

Two variants of the TDI Cell / Plant module are available:

1. TDI Cell: Stand-alone system for connection of up to 16 machines
2. TDI Plant: Multi-station system with the option of combining several TDI
cells

The TDI Cell / Plant functions do not merely provide evaluation and monitoring
functions in the foreman’s or executive offices; they are available network-wide. Its
modular structure permits implementation of small or large systems distributed over
several production areas.

1.2 System layout Tool Data Information (TDI)

In a network solution of this kind, the TDI HMI module can be used under the TDI
Plant module to install all the functions installed in the system as a user frontend on
further client PCs.

1.2.4 Fundamentals
"TDI Ident Connection" can be used to load/unload tools. The tools can be loaded
from the tool cabinet, from the code carrier or from the master computer in the
NCK. Furthermore, the tools can be unloaded from the NCK to the tool cabinet, to
the code carrier or to the master computer.
In addition, services are avaible for deleting tools from the tool cabinet or exporting
them to a file (or importing them from a file to the tool cabinet). It is also possible to
delete tools in the NCK and update the data on the code carrier.
"TDI Ident Connection" is configured via a PLC link and the service started. The
PLC link is set up via the PLC interface in data block DB19. The structure of the
PLC interface is described in Chapter 4.
The service to be executed is defined by the command code entered in the
interface data block. The meaning of the various command codes is described in
Chapter 5. The services associated with the command codes are explained in
Chapter 7. The parameter values required for the individual services must be
specified in the interface data block; these are described in Chapter 6.
The procedures for calling and acknowledging the service are described in Chap-
ter 8. Chapter 9 uses examples to illustrate how the parameters can be assigned
for the various services.
"TDI Ident Connection" is ready for M:N mode, which means that two controls can
address the PLC interface at the same time.
Communication between "TDI Ident Connection" and the host computer is carried
out via "SINCOM".

PLC link
Programming knowledge of Step 7 is requried for the PLC link, since the "TDI Ident
Connection" communicates via a PLC interface.
The services are configured and started via this interface. Furthermore, the status
of the service and error messages are also provided. The interface is described in
detail in Chapter 4.

ParamTM interface
"TDI Ident Connection" provides a separate COM interface for the standard
software "ParamTM".
This interface allows data to be read/written from/to the codechip of a tool.

"TDI Ident Connection" offers services for loading and unloading tools via a host
computer. The SINCOM software (V2.0 or higher) is also required for the computer
connection. This is not included in the scope of delivery and must therefore be
purchased and installed separately in order to utilize the full functionality of the host
computer. The installation of SINCOM must also be completed before "TDI Ident
Connection" is installed.

2.1.5 Extension of DB19

If PLC data block DB19 is not yet available for "TDI Ident Connection" via the PLC
interface, it must be extended prior to the first commissioning of "TDI Ident
Connection". An STL file is provided on the CD for this purpose in directory DB19.
This file can be used to prepare DB19 for "TDI Ident Connection".

2.2.1 Notes concerning the installation
Since most controls do not have a CD-ROM drive, it is recommended that the
contents of the installation CD be copied to a separate directory on the hard disk of
the control via a PG and started from there. This directory should be deleted again
after installation to regain space on the hard disk.

If the control is integrated in a network, the installation can also be started from
there.

MMC103
® ®
To install, start Windows in Service mode via the Service menu (Windows with
MMC drivers) and then execute SETUP.EXE on the installation CD.

PCU50
®
Windows is started in Service mode and the contents of the installation CD are
®
copied to the D:\Install directory of the PCU50. Windows is then restarted and
Setup is started automatically during booting.

Installation of "TDI Ident Connection" is carried out almost automatically when

Setup is started. During installation, it is only necessary to select and configure the
code carrier reader used and acknowledge the standard dialog boxes that appear.

The installation path is determined automatically and the version of the installed
MMC and HMI environment is checked. If none of the software versions specified
in Section 2.1 is installed, Setup is terminated and an appropriate message issued.

2.2.2 Installation sequence

After selecting the setup language and acknowledging the start dialog, installation
is performed in the following steps:

1. Agree to the license conditions.

2. Register as user.
3. Determine the installed MMC and HMI environment with subsequent version
check.
4. Select the code carrier reader.
5. Depending on reader: Select the interface to which the reader is connected or
configure the PLC interface (Subsection 2.2.3).
6. Enter the number of the load/unload place in loading magazine.
7. Display a summary of the installation data.
8. Install DCOM95 (on MMC103 only), after which Setup terminates and
®
Windows shuts down and restarts. Restart must be carried out via the
Service menu (not via StartàShutDownàRestart !!!). After restart in Service
mode, Setup is continued automatically.

11. Update REGIE.INI in the \Add_on directory.
12. Update the installed INI files.
13. Terminate Setup.

When installation is complete, the entries for the selected reader should be
®
checked in the COMTDS.INI file before shutting down Windows and starting the
MMC or HMI environment.

! Important
On some systems, a system reset may be performed following installation of the
® ®
Microsoft database access components. In this case, Windows must be started
again in Service mode. Setup is then started with the /continue parameter at the
point where installation was interrupted.

Sample call: C:\Tmp\CDIdentCon\setup.exe /continue

Note
When a Setup dialog appears on completion of installation prompting to restart
®
Windows , you should do so. When you confirm this dialog box, Setup automa-
®
tically restarts Windows .

2.2.3 Selecting the code carrier reader

The dialog box for selecting the code carrier reader used offers three different
types of reader (see Fig. 2-1). On the basis of the reader selected, the software
components used by "TDI Ident Connection" are configured during installation.

The interface to which the reader is connected is selected after selection of the
code carrier reader if the former is operated via the serial interface. The two serial
interfaces COM1 and COM2 are available for selection (see Fig. 2-2).

If the reader is connected to the PLC via Profibus, for example, a dialog box
appears for selecting the number of readers used (see Fig. 2-3). A separate dialog
box (Fig. 2-4) appears for each reader, in which the PLC data block, the offset and
the number of bytes can be specified. The number of bytes depends on the set-
tings in the Wkonvert.txt file, which must also be installed. If there are more than
one reader, Setup recommends settings in which the data ranges of the individual
readers are continuous in the PLC.

2.2.4 Entering the load/unload place number

This dialog box offers two fields for entering the load place number and the unload
place number in the loading magazine (see Fig. 2-5). On the basis of the place
number specified, the software components used by "TDI Ident Connection" are
configured during installation.
These places are used accordingly as source or target for loading or unloading to
or from the real magazine.
Correct specification of these data reuqires knowledge of the magazine configu-
ration for the standard tool management (see NCK variables: $TC_MDP1[] in
TO_INI.INI). Setup recommends the places with number 1 in each case.
If these values are to be changed later, this can be done manually in the TMS.INI
file. The PCU50 or MMC103 must then be restarted.
The following entries are provided:
[Load-Magazine]
LoadPlaceNo=1
UnloadPlaceNo=2

If the services are stopped due to a timeout, use the "TimeOut" entry to specify a
longer time. A timeout can occur if the user fails to acknowledge tool loading. The
default time for services is 300 milliseconds.
The entries "DisablePLCInterface", "MoveToolPLC", "MoveToolFirst" and
"MoveToolCancel" are relevant for linking to the SINUMERIK standard software
"ParamTM". "DisablePLCInterface=true" specifies that the "TDI Ident Connection"
is to be addressed only via "ParamTM" per soft key; the PLC interface for
activating the services by specifying a command code is then deactivated. The
entry "MoveToolPLC=true" is used if the tool has to be transported to the reader
before reading/writing the data from/to the code chip. In this case, "TDI Ident
Connection" uses the "ParamTM" PLC interface to communicate with the PLC
program that performs tool transport. "MoveToolFirst=true" moves the tool to the
code chip prior to reading/writing; otherwise, after reading/writing. If the reader is
connected to the PLC (e.g. Profibus), the entry "MoveToolFirst" has no effect. In
this case, the tool data should be transferred by the PLC program in the interface
DB prior to reading and taken from there after writing. MoveToolCancel=true can
be used to stop waiting for the end of tool motion immediately without generating
the error messages. In this case, the cancel bit (DB19.DBX259.2) is set by "TDI
Ident Connection" in the "ParamTM" PLC interface independently of this entry.

The names of the import and export files for importing and exporting tool data are
made up of the "Prefix" and "Extension" entries and the transfer parameter
"FileIndex". These files are located in the directory specified in "ToolsHome" after
exprt and are read from this directory for import. This directory must already exist,
since it is not created automatically. An export file could be called "Tools_4711.txt"
for example, if the above data are used and specified as "FileIndex 4711".

Normally, the "DataBlocks" need not exist, since "TDI Ident Connection" uses the
data blocks and offsets described in the following chapters per default. These are
set up in the PLC using the STL file supplied (see Section 2.3).

The higher the "LogLevel" entry, the more messages are stored in the log file
IdentCon.Log. This file is used for diagnostics and contains information on incorrect
transfer parameters, for example. In parallel with this log file, the error file
IdentCon.err is created, which contains only error messages.

3.2 TMS.INI
The entries "MergeDBData" and "MergeNCKData" in the "TMS.INI" file can be
used to define whether tool data are to be combined with data from the tool cabinet
or from the NCK (tool list), if these data are not supplied with the tool.
With the default setting, tool data that are not present on the data source (code
carrier, import file or host computer) are preassigned the default data from the
"DefToolDat.txt" data (see Section 3.5).
Furthermore, the entries for loading and unloading place numbers of the loading
magazine made during installation can be changed to the entries for
"LoadPlaceNo" and "UnloadPlaceNo" (see Subsection 2.2.4).
The "Messaging" entry specifies which messages are stored in the protocol file
"TMS.Log". This file is used for diagnostics and contains information on the cause
of an error that occurs. In parallel with this protocol file, the error file "TMS.err" is
created, which contains only error messages. The setting "Messaging=3" also
creates the "TMS.txt" file, which contains the tool data in the familiar NC-$ syntax
that were transferred with the "TDI Ident Connection" services.

Note
For performance reasons, the entry "Messaging =3" should not be used in normal
mode but only for fault diagnostics.
If necessary, the files "TMS.Log", "TMS.sav", "TMS.txt" and "TMSalt.txt" should
be sent to the hotline for diagnostics.

The files "TMS.INI" and "DefToolDat.txt" are located in the directory

Description file
All data on the code carrier are stored in a particular order. This is defined during
commissioning of the code carrier system. A conversion rule in the form of a
description file is provided so that the tool management can read or write this data
flow. This description file consists of precisely defined tool, cutter and dialog data.
Only these dialog data can actually be processed by the tool mangement. No other
data on the code carrier may be assigned to dialog variables, since they are not
processed by the standard version. The "TDI Ident Connection" offers the option of
integrating option software components however. These components implement
the adaption of these code carrier data to the SINUMERIK standard. The tool man
agement can read and write customer-specific code carrier formats and also imple-
ment a special logic in the transport sequences of the tool data (e.g.: consider
replacement tools in the NC, create additional cutters, etc.).

Extension of ordering data

If you wish to obtain the extension to the standard version of "TDI Ident Con-
nection" with optional components for adaption to your customer-specific code
carrier formats or to incorporate special sequences in your tool management,
please contact:
"Competence Center for machine tools and special machines"
at the following e-mail address: [email protected]
or contact your Siemens sales partner.

The description file can be created as an ASCII file using a standard text editor.
The path and name of the description file is given in the "TMS.INI" file under the
entry "WkonvertFile".

3.5 Tool data initialization file DefToolDat.txt

3.5 Tool data initialization file DefToolDat.txt

The default values contained in the file "DefToolDat.txt" initialize those tool data
that are not present in the data source for the services of "TDI Ident Connection".
This situation can occur on reading from code carrier, from an import file or from
the host computer.

This file contains the data of a default tool with one cutting edge in familiar NC-$
syntax. After installing "TDI Ident Connection", all optional tool data (i.e. all OEM
data, cutting edge monitoring data and local additive offsets) are marked with a
comment character (;) and are thereby deactivated.
So the user should always adapt the contents of "DefToolDat.txt". Remove the
comment characters in front of the relevant optional tool data to match their
number to the existing NCK configuration. The value assigned to these tool data in
the file can also be modified to meet user requirements.
If the number of active optional tool data in DefToolDat.txt exceeds the number of
relevant data configured in the NC, MMC alarms 121005 to 121009 are generated
on start of "TDI Ident Connection".

These alarm numbers are assigned to the individual data groups as follows:
· Alarm No. 121005 – Tool OEM data
· Alarm No. 121006 – Cutting edge OEM data
· Alarm No. 121007 – Cutting edge monitoring data
· Alarm No. 121008 – Cutting edge OEM monitoring data
· Alarm No. 121009 – Cutting edge additive offsets

The texts assigned to these alarms can be defined by the user in the "Alm_xx.com"
files.
If the number of these tool and cutting edge data configured in the NC is greater
than the number of corresponding active data in DefToolDat.txt, partially invalid
negative data values are transferrred to the data target for the services of "TDI
Ident Connection". This enables identification of non-initialized tool data.

! Important
Loading a tool to a magazine that contains invalid data of type Double produces
NC alarm 1019.

The DefToolDat.txt file is located in the directory \Add_on\IdentCon.

4.1 Layout
The "TDI Ident Connection" is addressed and supplied with data via a PLC
interface located in data block DB19 (see Fig. 4-1).

A further area contains the transfer and return parameters for the various services.

In addition, a separate PLC interface is provided for the "ParamTM" interface of the
"TDI Ident Connection". It is used to communicate with a PLC program. The
parameters for this PLC program and the status bits are also located in this area.

7.1 Loading from code carrier

7.1 Loading from code carrier

Reads the tool data from the code carrier; the unit is specified in "unit". The tool is
then created if it is not yet available in the NCK. It is also loaded if "LoadTool" was
set. The number of the load place in the load magazine is used to do this if
"LoadPlace" > 0. If "LoadPlace" = 0 is set, however, the value of the keyword
"LoadPlaceNo" in the file "TMS.INI" is used as load place number.
The index of the NCU, the channel number and the magazine number must be
specified.

If the "Magazine" parameter is assigned the value "0", the tool is loaded to the
magazine that has an empty location.

If the value for "MagazinePlace" > 0, an attempt is made to load the tool to this
magazine place.

7.2 Unloading from code carrier

7.2 Unloading from code carrier

Unloads the tool with the identifier specified in "Ident". The magazine number,
channel number, Duplo number and the index of the NCU must be specified. If
"DeleteTool" is set, the tool is deleted from the NCK.

If the "Magazine" parameter is assigned the value 0, the tool is unloaded from any
one of the magazines.

If the "Magazine" and "MagazinePlace" parameters are set > 0", an attempt is
made to unload the tool located at this place. The "Duplo" and "Ident" parameters
are not considered.

The number of the unload place in the unload magazine is used to do this if
"LoadPlace" > 0. If "LoadPlace" = 0 is set, however, the value of the keyword
"UnloadPlaceNo" in the file "TMS.INI" is used as unload place number.

7.3 Loading from the tool cabinet

7.3 Loading from the tool cabinet

This service is mainly suitable for use in conjunction with the "Read from code
carrier" service (Section 7.16) when only partial information are contained on the
code chip.

This is generally the case when low-cost, read-only code chips are used.

Reads the tool data from the database and creates the tool in the NCK if it does
not already exist. The "Subtype", "Duplo" and "Ident" parameters need not be as-
signed. If "Subtype" and "Duplo" are not assigned, they must be specified as "-1".
"Ident" is specified as a blank string if it is not to be assigned.

If "Subtype", "Ident" or "Duplo" are not assigned uniquely, several tools can be
found in the database.

If the T number is specified as "0", the T number is assigned by the NCK. If a T

number greater than "0" is specified, an attempt is made to create the tool with this
number and load it. If this T number cannot be used, the T number is assigned by
the NCK.

If several selected tools are to be loaded using this service and the T number is
specified greater than "0", the desired tool number is incremented successively. It
is not checked whether these incremented tool numbers are free in the NCK.

The "TNumber" parameter has no effect if the tool already exists in the tool list.

The "ActiveEnable" parameter defines how the tool status bit "T active" is handled.
If this parameter is set (TRUE), this status bit is taken into the NCK unchanged
from the database. If "ActiveEnable" is FALSE, however, this status bit is hidden on
reading from the database and is therefore not entered as set in the NCK.

If the magazine number is specified as "0", the tool/s is/are loaded to the magazine
that has an empty location if LoadTool is set. The number of the load place in the
unload magazine is used to do this if "LoadPlace" > 0. If "LoadPlace" = 0 is set,
however, the value of the keyword "LoadPlaceNo" in the file "TMS.INI" is used as
load place number.

If the value for "MagazinePlace" > 0, an attempt is made to load the tool to this
magazine place.

are not deleted in the database.

The "Subtype", "Ident" and "Duplo" parameters need not be assigned. If "Subtype"
and "Duplo" are not assigned, they must contain the value "-1". "Ident" is specified
as a blank string if no particular tool is to be deleted.

If "Subtyp" is not assigned, several tools may be deleted.

If "Duplo" is not assigned, all tools with the relevant identifier and subtype are de-
leted in the database. If the "Duplo" number is specified as "0", both the master
data and application data are deleted.

If "Duplo" and "Ident" are not specified, all tools of the relevant subtype are deleted
in the cabinet.

If the subtype < 10 and "Duplo" and "Ident" are not assigned, the tool type is de-
leted. For example, all milling tools are deleted for the value "1".

With "Subtype -1", if a blank string is specifed for the identifier and "-1" for the
"Duplo" number, the entire tool cabinet is deleted.

If the subtype is "-1", the identifier a blank string and the "Duplo" number = "0", the

Imports from a file in "NCK-INITIAL.INI" file format to the database.

Only the index of the file from which the data are to be imported is specifed as
parameter in the file "FileIndex".

The import is only made to the tool cabinet as a rule. If a tool is not yet known in
the database, it is also imported to the catalog.

If tools from those to be imported are already loaded in the NCK, import of the
record for these tools is rejected with an error message and an alarm triggered via
the alarm server. The relevant records are skipped in the import file.

7.15 Updating the code carrier

Updates the data on the code carrier.

The data of the tool specified by the "NCU_Index", "Channel", "Duplo", "Ident",
"Magazine" and "MagazinePlace" are read from the NCK and written to the code
carrier of the tool. The code carrier is defined via Unit.

If "0" is transferred for magazine, the tool is searched for in all magazines. If
"MagazinePlace = 0" is also specified, the tool specified with "Duplo" and "Ident" is
only searched for in the tool list.

If the "Magazine" and "MagazinePlace" parameters are set > 0", an attempt is
made to unload the data of the tool located at this place. The "Duplo" and "Ident"
parameters are not considered in this case.

7.16 Reading data from the code carrier

Reading tool data from the code carrier and writing the return parameters to the
PLC. The code carrier is defined via "Unit".

This makes it possible to read the two data of a code chip on which only the
"Duplo" number and tool identifier are stored. The load/unloaded services, for
example, can then be called from the tool cabinet (Sections 7.3 and 7.4).

In this way, low-cost "readonly" code chips can also be used.

7.17 Storing tool data in the NCK

Creates the tool in the NCK that was read previously from the code carrier. The
index of the NCU and the channel number must be specified.
If "LoadTool" is set, the tool is also loaded. The number of the load place in the
unload magazine is used to do this if "LoadPlace" > 0. If "LoadPlace" = 0 is set,
however, the value of the keyword "LoadPlaceNo" in the file "TMS.INI" is used as
load place number.

If the "Magazine" parameter is assigned the value "0", the tool is loaded to the
magazine that has an empty location.
If the value for "MagazinePlace" > 0, an attempt is made to load the tool to this
magazine place.
After executing the service, the current tool data are returned in the Return
parameters.

8.1 Executing services via the PLC interfaces

The services are executed in the following order via the PLC interface:

1. Specify command code

2. Set request bit
3. Wait until done bit is set
4. Check error code
5. Reset request bit

This sequence is illustrated in a pulse diagram in the figure below. It shows the bits
that are set and reset during execution of the service by "TDI Ident Connection".

Fig. 8-1 Pulse diagram

Setting the request bit (Req) starts the service specified via the command code.
Then the active bit is set to show that the job is being processed. When success-
fully completed, the "Done" bit is set and the "Active" bit reset.

In the event of an error, the "Error" bit is set and an error message written to the
relevant PLC word; the "Active" bit is also reset in this case.

After the PLC has reset the "Request" bit, the "Done" or "Error" is reset again. In
addition, the "Error" word is set ot "0", i.e. the PLC must evaluate the error mes-
sage before resetting the request bit.

! Important
While executing the service, the "Request" bit must not be reset by the PLC. A
reset is only possible when the "Active" bit of "TDI Ident Connection" has been
reset and the "Done" or "Error" bit is set.

8.2 Executing services via standard tool management

With HMI Advanced SW 06.02.10 and MMC103 SW 05.03.20, the Siemens
standard tool management (ParamTM) offers the option of initiating the services of
"TDI Ident Connection" for reading and writing the tool data from/to code carrier per
soft key operation.
These service are also called by "ParamTM" via the user interface of the standard
tool management in conjunction with loading tools from the code carrier and un-
loading tools on the code carrier.
The communication with the PLC user program required by "TDI Ident Connection"
is handled via the "ParamTM" interface (see Section 4.4).
The associated operational sequences and relevant pulse diagrams are explained
using examples in Subsections 9.3.3 and 9.3.4.

9.1 Loading from code carrier via PLC interface

In this example, the data of an imaginary tool "WZ_Test13" are read from a code
carrier, the tool created in the NCK and loaded. The tool is to be loaded in maga-
zine "1" of the standard NCU in channel "1". The procedure is to be handled via
Loading place "1" of the magazine.

The transfer parameter required for this service is shown in Table 9-1. The return
parameter from "TDI Ident Connection" is shown in Table 9-2.

Before executing the service, the PLC writes the value "0" in the command code
byte (C_Code) of the PLC interface in data block DB19. This service is then started
by setting the "Request" bit. If the "Active" bit is reset and the "Done" bit set, the
error byte can be evaluated by the PLC. The "Request" must be reset again. This
sequence is illustrated in Table 9-3.

The tool loaded in the previous example is to be unloaded and the current data
written to the code carrier. The tool in the NCK is deleted after unloading. The
procedure is to be handled via unloading place "2" of the magazine.

The transfer parameters required are shown in Table 9-4. This service does not
return any parameters, so there are no new values in the return parameters of the
PLC interface.

Before executing the service, command code "1" must be written to the relevant

A.1 Error codes

The error codes that are stored in the PLC byte "C_CodeError" or in the PLC word
"Error_Code" of the PLC interface are available in hexadecimal format and indicate
the position where the execution of the job was aborted with an error.

Should the error code be displayed in decimal format, it must be converted to the
hexadecimal format in order to be able to find the cause of the error in tables A-1 to
A8.

The error code in "C_CodeError" identifies the command code, where the error
occurred.

The error codes "Error_Code" are formed by a High-Byte and a Low-Byte, which
have different meanings. The High-Byte (XX) identifies the type-of-error group, in
which the error occurred. The Low-Byte (YY) indicates the error cause, which is
responsible for job abortion.

A.2 PLC data types

Table A-3 describes the PLC data types used and how they are interpreted by "TDI
Ident Connection".

Table A-9 PLC data types used

Data type Value range Comments

BOOL TRUE, FALSE Is used if individual bits in the PLC are to be set.
(TRUE: Bit = 1, FALSE: Bit = 0)
BYTE -128...127 PLC byte
INT -32768...32767 PLC word, the first byte of which contains the High-
Byte and the second byte the Low-Byte.

Example:
PLC word 140 is composed of the two PLC bytes
140 and 141 and is to be assigned the value 120.

Byte 140: 0
Byte 141: 120
String xx characters Strings occupy xx+2 bytes in the PLC, since the first
two bytes contain the maximum length and the
current length of the string. Therefore, the actual
rd
string commences only with the 3 byte. The
individual characters are stored as ASCII code in
the corresponding bytes.

PLC strings must not be terminated with zero, since

nd
the current length is always supplied in the 2 byte
of the string.

Example:
"Hello" is to be stored in a string which commences
with PLC byte 144 and has a maximum length of 32
characters. This results in the following byte
assignment:

Byte 144 = 32 max. length of the string

Byte 145 = 5 current length of the string
Byte 146 = 72 H
Byte 147 = 97 e
Byte 148 = 108 l
Byte 149 = 108 l
Byte 150 = 111 o
