Explanation
Visible component of a → Variable: Short text, graphics text, → I/O
field and unit text
A group of interlinked → Screen forms
Softkey menu, which is called from a newly configured screen
form.
Data, which communicates the properties of the machine tool to
the NC control, as defined by the system software. In contrast to →
Machine data, setting data can be altered immediately by the
operator.
Optimized SINUMERIK application and user interface for 2½D
milling operations.
Simulation of a → Parts program run (e.g., graphically) without
movement of the actual machine axes.
Key on front of operator panel, which activates a function displayed
on the assigned area of the screen.
Text/image on the screen area, which is assigned to a → Softkey.
All horizontal or all vertical → softkeys
Program section from //S..........//END for defining a → Softkey
menu
→ User interfaces that are integrated in standard software.
→ Softkey with which the first newly created → screen form is
started.
Program section from //S(Start)..........//END in which a → Start
softkey is defined
→ Screen form that is called from another screen form (master
screen form) without the → Master screen form being closed.
NC variable providing the NC states for parts program accesses
and accesses from → HMI.
A list of values in the → I/O Field; check with toggle field: The
value input in a field must be the same as one of the listed values.
Comment, which is automatically created during → NC code
generation.
The term "user interface" refers in this document to the information
displayed on the screen, including allocated softkeys and some
special operator panel front keys.
The user can declare user-defined variables for optional use in the
→ parts program or data block.
Designation of a memory location, which can be displayed in a →
Screen form by assigning → Properties and in which input data
and the results of arithmetic operations can be entered.
