Sinumerik Training, with Siemens Sinumerik there are many ways to call a subprogram. Subprograms are a really convenient way to repeat a piece of program.

You could have an incremental program and call it in several places. You could profile the outside of a part with two different tools. One for roughing then one for finishing.

The program below calls an external subprogram “THE_SHAPE” twice. The first time with a 20mm Endmill then the second time with a 10mm Endmill.

External means it’s another program somewhere in the directory.

This is the subprogram.

These subprograms need to end with an M17 (Fanuc uses M99). This tells the control to go back where it came from.

Providing the program is in the same folder as your main program then you just need to write in the name to call it.

Save Offsets Siemens 828

Save Offsets Siemens 828, I often see my job as a trainer as the bloke who works out what those odd buttons do. You know, the one you see every day but never dared press it because it might cause your machine to implode and completely destroy itself.

As you know I offer on-site training on all types of controls.

Press OK and everything will be saved in a file which has the same name as your program flowed by TMZ. Not sure what that means but it contains all your shit.

So that’s good (Save Offsets Siemens 828)  isn’t it?

It has the extension INI.

My program was FACEMILL so it added FAEMILL_TMZ.INI

So now it’s easy. When you want to recall this information just open the file (much like you open a program) and there it is.
