7.1 The Parameter Mode of
Operation
The parameters of the CNC PILOT are grouped as follows:
„ Machine parameters: These are used to adapt the control to the
requirements of the machine (e.g. parameters for components,
assemblies, the assignment of axes, slides and spindles, etc.).
„ Control parameters: These are used to configure the control
system (machine display, interfaces, measuring system used, etc.).
„ Setup parameters: These define certain settings required for the
production of a specific part (workpiece zero point, tool change
position, compensation values, etc.).
„ PLC parameters: These parameters are defined by the machine
manufacturer (see Machine Manual).
„ Machining parameters: These define the strategy for machining
cycles and for TURN PLUS.
In this operating mode, the following operating resource and
technology parameters are managed in addition:
„ Tool parameters
„ Chucking equipment parameters
„ Technology parameters (cutting values)
This Manual describes parameters that can be changed by the user
(“system manager” user class). Other parameters are explained in the
Technical Manual.
Data exchange and data backup: The CNC PILOT supports data
exchange of parameters and associated fixed-word lists. All
parameters are included for data backup.
To transfer and back up data, you use the Transfer mode of operation
(see “Transmitting parameters/operating resources” on page 675).
