Basics

G code programming with ShopMill

ShopMill offers beside the manual operation area, also the possibility, to create a NC-program on the control. These pro-

grams can be chained sequential programs, G code programs or a mixture of both.

If you do not want to program with the ShopMill functionality, you can generate G code programs with G code commands in

the ShopMill user interface. G code commands can be programmed as per DIN 66025.

Note:

The creation of chained sequential programs is discussed in detail in the module M600 “Basics of programming with Shop-

Mill”.

With the G code programming in ShopMill, with the programGUIDE, parameter masks guide you in the process of measur-

ing, the programming of contours, as well as drilling and milling cycles.

From within the parameter masks, G code will be generated, which can also be translated back into the parameter masks.

The following functions support the programming of G code programs:

 Technology oriented program step selection (cycles) using softkeys

 Input masks and -windows for parameters, with animated help graphics

 Context sensitive online help for every input mask and window

 Comfortable definition of the blank

 Support for the contour input (geometric processor)

G code programs can be represented in different views:

 As a work plan showing the call up of the tool, path commands, revolution settings, spindle data, feed, cycle calls, the

program end, etc.

Navigation in the editor window

For a fast and comfortable navigation within a G code program and the parameter masks you can use the blue cursor

keys.

With the blue “cursor-up” key on the keyboard you can navigate upwards in the program

editor and the parameter masks.

With the blue “cursor-down” key on the keyboard you can navigate downwards in the

program editor and the parameter masks.

The arrow symbol (extend symbol) on the right side of a cycle or workpiece line in the editor

window indicates that you can enter the parameter input mask by pressing the “cursor-to-the-

right” key

(see picture below).

The “cursor-to-the-right”-key opens the parameter mask of the corresponding program

block.

The “cursor-to-the-left”-key closes the parameter mask for the cycle or workpiece settings

and brings you back to the editor window, displaying the G code program.

Programming a tool

Within the editor, tools can be selected and inserted in the G code program comfortably by using a softkey.

Under the function “Edit” HSK 1 press the VSK 1.1 “Select Tool” to open the tool selection

window.

You can use the cursor key to select the tool you require followed by pressing the VSK 1.8

“OK”

- OR -

Programming the blank

The blank is needed for the simulation and the simultaneous recording.

Only with a blank, that represents the real blank as precise as possible, a accurate simulation is possible. For the blank you

have to define the shape (Block, Pipe, Cylinder, N corner or Block centric) and dimensions.

In the operating area “Program” press the HSK 1.6 “Various” to open the vertical softkey bar

with “various” functions.

Here, press the VSK 1.1 “Blank” to open the input mask for defining the blank.

Confirm your inputs by pressing the VSK 8 “Accept” or abort with pressing the VSK 7 “Cancel”.

A new program block “Workpiece” is inserted in the program (see the picture below).

Subprogram

If you require the same machining steps in the programming of different workpieces, you can define these machining steps

in a separate routine. You can then call this subroutine in any programs.

Identical machining steps therefore only have to be programmed once. ShopMill does not differentiate between main pro-

gram and subprogram. This means that you can call a "standard" sequential control or G code program as subprogram in

another sequential control program. In this subprogram, you can also call another subprogram. The maximum nesting

depth is 8 subroutines. You cannot insert subroutines among blocks chained by the control. If you want to call a sequential

control program as a subroutine, the program must already have been calculated once (load or simulate

program in “Machine Auto” mode). This is not necessary for G code subroutines. The subroutine must always be stored in

the NCK main memory (in a separate directory "XYZ" or in the "ShopMill", "Part programs", "Subroutines" directories). If

you want to call a subprogram located on another drive, you can use the G code command "EXTCALL".

Note:

Please note that, when a subprogram is called, ShopMill evaluates the settings in the program header of the subroutine.

These settings also remain active even after the subprogram has ended. If you wish to activate the settings from the pro-

gram header for the main program again, you can make the settings again in the main program after calling the subpro-

gram.

Selecting the function “Subprogram”

By pressing the VSK 3 “Subprogram”, the input window for calling up a subprogram opens.

Loops, jumps, repetitions

Label name, Parameter usage

Label name

In order to repeat certain sections of a program or the jump to a certain section of the program, we make use of “LABELS”

to mark the beginning/end of certain sections of the program. In most cases a “LABEL” is used to mark the beginning, but

when you want to perform repetitions of sections of a program, then you require both beginning and end “LABELS” (refer to

section 3.2 in this module).

The “LABEL” must consist of at least two or a maximum of 8 characters. The first two characters must always be letters or

underlines.

The “LABEL” must always be followed by a colon.

N100...

Assigning the name START1: to a label

N110 START1:

N120 G00 X10..

Parameter usage

In some cases the use of parameters is highly advisable. For instance, the cutting values for the tools to be used can be

assigned to parameters in the program header, which can then be used for programming instead of the cutting values them-

selves. The parameters are programmed with the address letter “R” and a number “R1”. Values can be assigned to these in

the section “Parameter” or also in the program itself.

Assignment of speed and feed by means of

N120 S=R1 F=R2 M3 M8 D1

N130 ...

Parameters can be used within the program for calculation of individual values or for themselves. For reason of the advance

calculation by the control unit it is possible that undesirable effects on the active parameters might occur. This can be pre-

vented by using the instruction STOPRE.

The next block will only be executed after the previous block has been finished.

For this “STOPRE” must be written in a block by itself.

N10 R1=0

N110 START1:

N120 G00 x10..

…

N140 STOPRE

The control unit waits until block N130 has been

N150 R1=R1+1

completed.

N160 END1:STOPRE

Each time the block is run for machining R1 is in-

creased by 1.

Jump instructions, Program section repetitions

Jump instructions

Jump instructions can also be used within a program. They permit the omission of certain sections of the program or to

jump back for repetitions. The instruction GOTOF is used to jump forward, while the GOTOB is used to jump backward.

For this a search is carried out for the included label name or the block number before the jump to this location is carried

out.

Program the first line of the program:

N10 G54 G17 G90

Now insert a blank for the simulation.

For this, press the HSK 1.6 “Various” to open the operating area “Various”.

Press the VSK 1 “Blank” to open the parameter mask for the blank.

Insert the values into the parameter mask like displayed below:

Confirm your inputs by pressing the VSK 8 “Accept”. The following line will be inserted into the

program:

N20 WORKPIECE(,,,"BOX",112,0,-20,-80,0,0,150,100)

Insert a tool into the program.

Press the VSK 1.1 “Select tool”.

The tool selection list window opens.

Use the blue cursor keys to select the tool: “CENTERDRILL_D12”.
