SINUMERIK 840D/810D SINUMERIK Tool Data Communication SinTDC (FBTC) - 01.2002 Edition
1.1 SinTDC
SinTDC is a software module for Sinumerik 810D/840D which enables you to
easily load and unload tools with tool-identification systems either from the PLC or
via the standard tool management user-interface. The tools can be loaded from the
tool cabinet, the code carrier or from the master computer into the NC kernel. In
addition, the tools can be unloaded from the NC kernel into the tool cabinet, onto
the code carrier or into the master computer.
Services are also available for deleting/exporting tool data from, or importing it to
the tool list. In addition, tools can be deleted in the NC kernel and the tool data
updated on the code carrier.
Different code carrier readers (Moby, Bilz, Balluff) can be conneceted via the
PROFIBUS. The data for these devices must be stored in a data block so that they
can then be read in by SinTDC.
The following code carrier readers on RS-232 are also supported:
• Balluff BIS-C600
• Bar-code reader
There is a description of the tool data held on the code chip in the file wkonvert.txt
(Section 3.5 "Structure of the description file").
The tool data not held on the code chip can be assigned with default values using
the file deftooldat.txt.

1.2 PLC interface
© Siemens AG 2002 All Rights Reserved
SINUMERIK 840D/810D SINUMERIK Tool Data Communication SinTDC (FBTC) - 01.2002 Edition
1-15
To load and unload the tools, SinTDC uses the tool management server (TMS)
which is included in the scope of delivery, which establishes the connection to the
host computer, to the tool management in the NC kernal, to the code chip reader
and to the tool database (cabinet/catalog). See Fig. 1-1. The connections to the
various readers are made via the tool data server (COMTDS). The communication
between the tool management server and host computer takes place through
SINCOM - SINCOM is not included in the scope of delivery of SinTDC
SinTDC is parameterized using a PLC connection, and the service to be executed
is started. The PLC connection is made via the PLC interface in the data block
DB19. The PLC interface structure is explained in Chapter 4.
The service to be executed is specified using the command code entered in the
interface data block. The meaning of the various command codes is described in
Chapter 5. The services belonging to the command codes are explained in Chapter
7. The necessary parameter values for the individual services must also be
specified in the interface data block; these are described in Chapter 6.
Chapter 8 describes how to call up and acknowledge a service. Chapter 9 contains
examples showing how the parameters for the different services can be assigned.
1.2 PLC interface
The SinTDC services are parameterized and started using this interface. In
addition, the interface shows the service status and any error messages. The
interface is decribed in detail in Chapter 4.
Programming knowledge in Step7 is required to be able to operate the PLC
interface.
1.3 Connection to the standard tool management user interface
SinTDC offers a connection to the standard TM user interface (ParamTM) as from
MMC 103 V5.3.18 (incl. Batch) and HMI Advanced V6.2.10. This allows data from
a tool code chip to be read or written with softkey from the standard TM user
interface to/from the code chip.

2-18
SINUMERIK 840D/810D SINUMERIK Tool Data Communication SinTDC (FBTC) - 01.2002 Edition
2.1 System requirements
SinTDC can be installed on the SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D control systems
MMC 103 or PCU50. Each of these must fulfil different requirements.
In MMC 103, the interface to the Siemens TM user interface (ParamTM) is only
available from Version 5.3.18 incl. batch .
In PCU50, the interface to the Siemens TM operator interface (ParamTM) is only
available from HMI Advanced 6.02.10 and above.
The values specified for the required hard-disk storage also apply to the memory
required for the installation. However, in addition, sufficient memory should remain
available for the correct functioning of Windows
®
.
2.1.1 MMC 103
• MMC environment Version 05.03.18 or higher must be installed.
• Approx. 30 MB free hard-disk storage on drive C: must be available.
2.1.2 PCU50
• HMI environment Version 06.00.29 or higher must be installed.
• Approx. 20MB free hard-disk storage on drive E: must be available.
• Approx. 10MB free hard-disk storage on drive F: must be available.
2.1.3 Tool management
SINUMERIK 840D Tool Management must be installed and configured on the
control before SinTDC is installed. Tool Management is available as an option
withSINUMERIK 840D.
The interface is activated automatically during installation with the following entry in
the file mmc.ini.
[ToolMgmt]
WToolIdSys=SINTDC
2.1.4 Master computer services
SinTDC offers services for the loading and unloading of tools using a host
computer. For this, you also require the software SINCOM (V2 or higher) for the
computer link. This is not included in the scope of delivery for SinTDC and must
therefore be installed separately, in order to be able to use the master computer
functionality. The installation of SINCOM must also have been completed before
SinTDC is installed.

2-19
2.1.5 Expansion of DB19
If the PLC data block DB19 does not yet have the PLC interface for SinTDC, then it
must be expanded prior to the first commissioning of SinTDC. An STL file is
available for this on the installation CD in the directory DB19. The DB19 can be
prepared for SinTDC using this file.
2.2 Executing the installation
2.2.1 Notes on installation
As most controls do not have a CD-ROM drive, it is recommended that you copy
the contents of the installation CD using a PG into a separate directory on the hard-
disk of the control and start from there. This directory should be deleted after the
installation, so that additional memory capacity becomes available again.
If the control is integrated in a network, the installation can also be started from
there.
MMC 103
For the installation, start up Windows
®
in Service mode using the Service menu
(Windows
®
with MMC drivers), then run the SETUP.EXE on the installation CD.
PCU50
Windows
®
is started up in Service mode and the contents of the installation CD
copied into the PCU50 directory D:\Install. Windows
®
is then restarted, and during
the boot procedure, the setup is automatically started.
The installation of SinTDC occurs automatically following the start of the setup.
During the installation, it is only necessary to select and configure the code carrier
reader being used, and to acknowledge the standard dialog boxes.
The installation path is determined and the version of the installed MMC or HMI
environment checked automatically. If none of the software versions specified in
Section 2.1 are installed, the setup is ended and a message to this effect issued.

2.2.2 Installation sequence
After selecting the setup language and acknowledging the welcome dialog box, the
setup should be executed in the following sequence of steps:
1. Acceptance of licensing agreement
2. User registration
3. Verification of the installed MMC or HMI environment plus version check
4. Selection of the code carrier reader
5. According to reader: Selection of the interface which the reader is connected
to, or configuration of the PLC interface (Subsection 2.2.3)
6. Display of installation sequence summary
7. Installation of DCOM95 (only for MMC 103), after which the setup for the
shutdown and subsequent restart of Windows
®
is exited. The restart must be
carried out via the Service menu (not via Start!ShutDown!Restart !!!). After
the restart in Service mode, the setup is automatically resumed.
8. Installation of the Microsoft
®
database access components
9. Installation of theSinTDC software components and required system files
10. Update of REGIE.INI in the directory \Add_on
11. Update of the installed INI files
12. Exit setup
After the installation has been completed, the entries for the selected reader in the
file COMTDS.INI should be checked before Windows
®
is shut down and the MMC
or HMI environment started.
!
Important
On some systems, a system reset may be carried out after the installation of the
Microsoft
®
database access components. In this case, Windows
®
must be
restarted in Service mode. The setup should then be started using the Parameter
/continue; the setup resumes from the point where the installation was broken off.
Call example: C:\Tmp\CDSinTDC\setup.exe /continue
Note
If a setup dialog box is displayed after completion of the installation suggesting a
restart of Windows
®
, the restart should be executed. If this dialog box is
acknowledged, the setup automatically executes a restart for Windows
®
.

2.2.3 Selection of the code carrier reader
The dialog box for the selection of the code carrier reader to be used offers three
different types for selection (see Fig. 2-1). The following types have been tested
and approved:
• Moby (Connection type: PROFIBUS)
• Balluff (Connection type: PROFIBUS and RS-232)
• Bilz (Connection type: PROFIBUS)
• Bar-code reader (Connection type: RS-232)
The software components used by SinTDC are configured during the installation
using the selected reader.
The interface to which the reader is connected is selected after the selection of the
code carrier reader, if this is being run on a serial interface. Either one of the two
serial interfaces COM1 and COM2 can be selected (see Fig. 2-2).
If the reader is connected to the PLC, for example, with PROFIBUS, a dialog box
appears for the selection of the number of reader heads to be used (see Fig. 2-3).
There is a separate dialog box for each reader head (Fig. 2-4), in which the PLC
data block, the offset and the number of bytes can be specified. The number of
bytes depends on the settings of the file Wkonvert.txt, which is also installed. When
there are several reader heads, the setup suggests settings which ensure that the
data areas for each reader head are arranged next to each other in the PLC.
After exiting setup, the parameters for the reader in the file COMTDS.INI should be
checked and where necessary corrected. This file can be found in
\Add_on\SinTDC\ and should be checked before the MMC or HMI environment is
restarted.

3-27
If the execution of the services is aborted due to timeout, a longer time period can
be specified via TimeOut. A timeout may occur, for example, if the upload of a tool
is not acknowledged by the user. The default time limit for the execution of a
service is 300 seconds.
The items DisablePLCInterface, MoveToolPLC and MoveToolFirst are relevant for
the connection to SINUMERIK standard software ParamTM.
DisablePLCInterface=true can be used to specify that SinTDC may only be
addressed via ParamTM; the PLC interface is then deactivated. The item
MoveToolPLC=true is used if the tool has to be transported to the reader before
reading or writing the data from or on the code chip – in this case, SinTDC
communicates via the ParamTM PLC interface with the PLC program, which then
transports the tool. MoveToolFirst=true is used to transport the tool to the code
chip before reading or writing, otherwise this is carried out after reading.
The names of the import and export files for the import or export of tool data are
composed of the entries Prefix, Extension and the transfer parameter FileIndex.
After the export, these files can be found in the directory which was specified in
ToolsHome and are also read from here for the import. This directory must already
exist, as it is not created automatically. An export file could, for example, be called
Tools_4711.txt, if the details above are used and specified as FileIndex "4711".
The area DataBlocks does not normally need to be available, as SinTDC uses by
default the data blocks and offsets described in the following chapters. These are
set up in the PLC with the STL file included in delivery (see Section 2.3).
The higher the LogLevel entry, the higher the number of messages stored in the
log file SinTDC.LOG. This file is used in diagnostics, and contains, for example,
notes on faulty transfer parameters. The error file SinTDC.ERR is created parallel
to this log file, and contains only error messages.

3.4 Structure of the description file. wkonvert.txt
Description file
All data on the code carrier is stored in a specific sequence. This sequence is
defined when the code carried system is commissioned. To enable the tool
management to read and/or write this data stream, there is a conversion
specification in the form of a description file. This description file consists of
precisely specified tool and cutting edge dialog data. Only this dialog data can be
processed by the tool management. No other data on the code carrier may be
assigned to dialog variables, or it will not be processed. However, an OEM
application can access this data.
The description file can be created as an ASCII file with a standard text editor. The
path and name of the description file is in the file TMS.INI under the item
"WkonvertFile".
Tool–dialog data
The tool–dialog data is defined as follows:

Data types
The dialog variable data types are defined as follows:
• Integer: Value range -32768 to32767
• Double: Double-precision floating point
• String: Character string from ASCII characters
Keywords
The code carrier data is assigned to the dialog data via the code carrier description
file. As an ASCII file, the data can be created and/or modifed with standard
editors.The code carrier description file is structured in line form, whereby each line
is introduced with one of the following keywords:
Inverted comma
The ' (inverted comma) marks the start of a comment. All subsequent characters to
line ending are skipped.
Example:
' This is a comment
Note
An inverted comma is used to mark the beginning of a comment only in the code
carrier description file. Otherwise, the beginning of a comment is introduced with
a semi-colon.

7.1 Loading from code carrier
Reads the tool data from the code carrier, whose unit is specified with Unit. Then
the tool is created if it is not already available in the NC kernel. It is also loaded if
LoadTool has been set. The index of the NCU, the channel number (Channel) and
the magazine number (Magazine) must be specified.
If parameter Magazine is set to "0", the tool is loaded into the magazine in which an
empty location is found.
If the value for MagazinePlace > 0, an attempt is made to load the tool into this
magazine location.

7.3 Loading from tool cabinet
This service is mainly used in combination with the "Reading from code carrier"
service (Section 7.16), if only partial information is contained on the code chip.
This is usually always the case if low-price read-only code chips are used.
Reads the tool data from the database and creates the tool in the NC kernel if it
does not already exist. The parameters Subtype, Duplo and Ident must not
necessarily be assigned. If Subtype and Duplo are not assigned, they must be
specified with "-1". An empty string is specified with Ident, if this should not be
assigned.
If Subtype, Ident or Duplo have not been uniquely assigned, several tools can be
found in the database.

SINUMERIK 840D/810D SINUMERIK Tool Data Communication SinTDC (FBTC) - 01.2002 Edition
If the T-number is specified with "0", the T-number is assigned by the NC kernel. If
a T-number greater than "0" is specified, an attempt is made to create and load the
tool with this number. If this T-number cannot be used, it is assigned by the NC
kernel.
If several selected tools are to be loaded by this service and the T-number is
specified as greater than "0", then the desired tool numbers are incremented
continuously internally. However no check is made here whether these
incremented tool numbers are free in the NC kernel.
The parameter TNumber has no effect if the tool already exists in the tool list.
Via the ActiveEnable parameter, the handling of the tool status bit "Tool active" is
specified. If this parameter is set (TRUE), this status bit is transferred to the NC
kernel from the database unaltered. If however ActiveEnable is FALSE, this status
bit is concealed when reading from the database and therefore entered in the NC
kernel as not being set.
If the magazine number is specified as "0", the tool or tools are loaded into the
magazine where an empty location is found, if LoadTool is set.
If the value for MagazinePlace > 0, an attempt is made to load the tool into this
magazine location.
The parameters of this service are shown in Table 7-3. Depending on the
parameter value, several tools can be loaded from the database to the NC kernel
at the same time. Therefore an overview of possible parameter values is shown in
Table 7-4.

Deletes the data of tools in the database. When deleting, a check is made whether
tools of the selected group have been loaded to the NCK. The data of loaded tools
is not deleted in the database.
The parameters Subtype, Ident and Duplo must not necessarily be assigned. If
Subtype and Duplo are not to be assigned, they must receive the value "-1". The
empty string is used for Ident, if no specific tool is to be deleted.
If the subtype is not assigned, several tools can be deleted.
If Duplo is not assigned, all tools with the corresponding identifier and subtype are
deleted in the database. If "0" is specified as the duplo number, master as well as
operating data is deleted.
If Duplo and Ident are not specified, all tools of the corresponding subtype are
deleted in the cabinet.
If the subtype < 10 and Duplo and Ident not assigned, the tool type is deleted. E.g.
with value "1", all milling tools are deleted.
If with subtype "-1", an empty string is specified for the identifier and "-1" for the
duplo number, the complete tool cabinet is deleted.

8.1 Execute services via the PLC interface
The services are executed via the PLC interface in the following sequence:
1. Specify command code
2. Set Request bit
3. Wait until Done bit has been set
4. Check error code
5. Reset Request bit
This sequence is shown in Fig. 8-1 as an impulse diagram, whereby the bits which
are set and reset by SinTDC during the execution of the service are also displayed.
Fig. 8-1 Impulse diagram
The service which has been set with the command code is started by setting the
Request bit (Req). Then, the Active bit is set in order to show that the job is being
processed. If the job is completed with no errors, then the Done bit is set and the
Active bit reset.
In the case of an error, the Error bit is set, and an error message written in the
corresponding PLC-word; the Active bit is also reset in this case.
After the Request bit has been reset by the PLC, the Done or Error bit is reset
again. In addition, the Error word is set to "0", so that the PLC must evaluate the
error message before resetting the Request bit.
!
Important
During the execution of the service, the Request bit must not be reset by the
PLC. It should be reset only after the Active bit has been reset by SinTDC and
the Done or Error bit set.

9.1 Loading from code carrier
In this example, the data from the imaginary tool "Tool_Test13" is read from a code
carrier, the tool created in the NC kernel and loaded. The tool should be loaded in
magazine "1" of the standard NCU in channel "1".
The parameters required for this service are shown in Table 9-1. Table 9-2 shows
the return parameters supplied by SinTDC.
Before the service is executed, the value "0" is written in the command code byte
(K_Code) of the PLC interface in the data block DB19. This service is then started
by setting the Request bit. If the Active bit has been reset and the Done bit set, the
error byte can be evaluated by the PLC. The Request bit must then be reset. The
sequence is shown clearly in Table 9-3.

written to the code carrier. After unloading, the tool is deleted in the NC kernel.
The transfer parameters required for this are shown in Table 9-3. This service does
not return any parameters, which means that there are no new values in the PLC
interface return parameters.

A.1 Error codes
The error codes stored in the PLC byte Error_Code of the PLC interface are in
hexadecimal format and indicate the point at which the job execution was aborted
with an error.
If an error code is shown in decimal notation, it must be converted into
hexadecimal format in order to calculate the cause of error from the tables A-1 and
A-2.
The error codes are composed of a high byte and a low byte, each having a
different meaning. The high byte (XX) identifies the command code in which the
error occurred. The low byte specifies the cause of error.

A.2 PLC data types
Table A-3 describes the PLC data types used and their interpretation by SinTDC.
Table A-3 Used PLC data types
Data type Value range Comment
BOOL TRUE, FALSE Used if single bits are to be set in the PLC.
(TRUE: Bit = 1, FALSE: Bit = 0)
BYTE -128...127 PLC byte
INT -32768...32767 PLC word whose first byte contains the high byte
and the second byte, the low byte.
Example:
PLC word 140 is composed of both PLC bytes 140
and 141 and should be assigned the value 120.
Byte 140: 0
Byte 141: 120
Strings occupy xx+2 bytes in the PLC, since the
first two bytes contain the maximum length and the
current length of the string. The actual string
therefore only begins from the third byte. The
individual characters are stored as ASCII code in
the corresponding bytes.
PLC strings do not have to be terminated with zero,
as the current length is always supplied in the
second byte of the string.
Example:
"Hello" should be saved in a string which begins at
PLC byte 144 and which can have a maximum of
32 characters. The resulting byte assignment is as
follows:
Byte 144 = 32 Max. length of string
Byte 145 = 5 Current length of string
Byte 146 = 72 H
Byte 147 = 97 e
Byte 148 = 108 l
Byte 149 = 108 l
String xx characters
Byte 150 = 111 o
