Configuring Data Jobs - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

Supplementary conditions for data tasks
● Data tasks are only available in the "Selective" comparison mode.
● Data tasks can only be applied to data end nodes.
Application examples for data tasks
● Importing encoder data.
Encoder data saved in an Excel file (template) can be imported into an archive.
● Exporting optimization data.
For the identifiers of optimization data saved in an Excel template, values can be added
and saved as Excel file.
Principle of operation of import tasks
When executing import tasks, values are imported into the clipboard from the "Import area" of
an Excel template.
In Diff, these values can be inserted at a data end node. When inserting values, the values
of existing identifiers can be overwritten and new identifiers can be inserted.
Principle of operation of export tasks
When executing export tasks, data identifiers are determined in an "Export area" of an Excel
template. These identifiers are searched for in a selected data end node in the data structure
of the SINUMERIK archive comparison and their values are transferred into an Excel template.
The "Save As" dialog allows the completed Excel template to be saved.
The "Save As" dialog is displayed, which allows the completed Excel template to be saved.
Principle of operation of conversion tasks
When executing conversion tasks, data identifiers are determined from an "Export area" of an
Excel template. These identifiers are searched for in a selected data end node in the data
structure of the SINUMERIK archive comparison and their values are transferred to an Excel
template.
The conversion rule saved in the same Excel template is processed by Excel without any
visualization. In so doing, values are generated for the saved import identifiers and these are
then imported to Diff from the "Import area". The imported values are saved in the clipboard,
and can be inserted into Diff at a data end node.
When inserting values, the values of existing identifiers can be overwritten and new identifiers
can be inserted.
The Excel file with the converted data can be saved.

Configuring data jobs

The dialog to configure data tasks is called from the main menu "Tools > NC data
comparison > Configuration data task...".
The dialog to configure data tasks is equivalent to the dialog for the comparison configuration
and should be used in the same way.
