Heidenhain Sections, I don’t get to work on Heidenhain controls anywhere near as much as I would like to.
A recent training program we undertook with a packaging company meant I got loads of time to have fun with this control whilst working with some fantastic people oh, and I got paid too.
Ever since I first worked on Heidenhain controls in the early 80s I have found them very intuitive. As with all the CNC controls (and I am gonna have a moan) they tend to get over complicated.

Messing With Parameters Can Be Fatal!!!!!
To change parameters you need to go to the setting screen in MDI. Now put a 1 in the parameter write box.
Some more interesting parameters
3401 Calculator Type Decimal Point or Integer
3402 G Codes that are Active When The machine is Turned On
6005 Allows the Use of Local Subroutines (Newer Control)
6050-6059 Allows you to Call a 9000 series Program with a G Code
6080-6089 Allows you to Call a 9000 series Program with An M Code
5003 Retain Geometry when you Press Reset
Oh just one other thing before you go off and cripple your machine forever.
Do yourself a favor take a picture of the screen before you change a parameter. If you aint got a camera then you must have a piece of paper.
Even better back everything up.
Thanks
