program.
A memory of max. 300 MB is available for NC programs, and
max. 50 MB for PLC data.

ID 537 067-51

SIK component The SIK component contains the NC software license for
enabling control loops and software options. It gives the TNC 320
an unambiguous ID code—the SIK number. The SIK component is
ordered and shipped separately. It must be inserted in a special
slot on the side of the TNC 320.

There are different versions of the SIK component with

the NC software license. Additional functions can be enabled later
by entering a keyword. HEIDENHAIN provides the keyword,
which is based on the SIK number. SIK component

When ordering, please indicate the SIK number of your control.

When the keywords are entered in the control, they are saved in
the SIK component. This enables and activates the options. Should
service become necessary, the SIK component must be inserted
in the replacement control to enable all required options.

Master keyword There is a master keyword (general key) for putting the TNC 320
(general key) into service that will unlock all control loop options for a duration of
90 days. After this period, the control loop options will be active
only through the correct keywords. The general key is activated
using a soft key.

For the open-loop spindle, the TNC sets an analog nominal
speed value for the spindle speed. For the closed-loop spindle,
position feedback is provided, for example for oriented spindle
stop.

Software options With software options, the features of the TNC 320 can also be
expanded retroactively. These options are described on page 6.
They are enabled by keywords based on the SIK number, and are
saved in the SIK component. Please indicate your SIK number
when ordering new software options.

TNC keyboard The keys for the axes Z, 4 and 5 are easily snapped off and
exchanged for other symbols (see Snap-On Keys).

Export license An export license is generally not required for the TNC 320
because the NC software limits the number of interpolatable axes
to four. The 5th axis can be used for the spindle or as an auxiliary
axis.

Touch Probes

Before the TNC 320 leaves the factory, it is already prepared for
the use of touch probes for workpiece measurement. These touch
probes generate a trigger signal that captures the current position
value. For more information on the touch probes, ask for our
brochure or CD-ROM entitled Touch Probes.

Workpiece The TS touch trigger probe has a stylus with which it probes TS 220
measurement workpieces. The TNC provides standard routines for datum setting
and workpiece measurement and alignment. The touch probes are
available with various taper shanks. Assorted styli are available as
accessories.

Touch probe with cable connection for signal transmission for

machines with manual tool change:

TS 220 TTL version

Touch probe with infrared signal transmission for machines with

automatic tool change:

TS 440 Compact dimensions

TS 444 Compact dimensions, battery-free power supply through

integrated air turbine generator over central compressed air supply

TS 640 Standard touch probe with wide-range infrared transmission and

long operating time

TS 740 High probing accuracy and repeatability, low probing force TS 640 with SE 640

The infrared transmission is established between the TS touch

probe and the SE transceiver unit. The following SE units can be
combined with the TS touch probes:
SE 640 for integration in the machine’s workspace
SE 540 for integration in the spindle head

Tool measurement The touch probes for tool measurement from HEIDENHAIN are
suited for probing stationary or rotating tools directly on the
machine. The TNC has standard routines for measuring length and
diameter of the tool as well as the individual teeth. The TNC
automatically saves the results of measurement in a tool table. It is
also possible to measure tool wear between two machining steps.
The TNC compensates the changed tool dimensions automatically
for subsequent machining or replaces the tool after a certain
limit—as for example after tool breakage.

TT 140 With the triggering TT 140 touch probe the disk-shaped contact
plate is deflected from its rest position upon contact with a
stationary or rotating tool, sending a trigger signal to the NC
control.

Feed rate override: 0 to 150%

Traverse range –99 999.999 to +99 999.999 [mm]

The machine tool builder defines the traverse range.

The user can set additional limits to the traverse range if he wishes
to reduce the working space.
Different traverse ranges can be defined for each axis via
parameter blocks (selection by PLC).

Rotary axes The TNC 320 can control a rotary axis with any axis designation
(A, B, C, U...).

Special parameters and PLC functions are available for rotary axes
with Hirth coupling.

The machine tool builder defines the traverse range.

The user can set additional limits to the traverse range if he wishes
to reduce the working space.
Different traverse ranges can be defined for each axis via
parameter blocks (selection by PLC).

Cylindrical surface A contour defined in the working plane is machined on a cylindrical

interpolation surface.
(Software option 1)

20
Tilting the working The TNC 320 has special coordinate transformation cycles for
plane controlling swivel heads or tilting tables. The offset of the tilting
(software option 1) axes and the tool lengths are compensated by the TNC.

The TNC 320 can manage more than one machine configuration
(e.g. different swivel heads).

Synchronized axes Synchronous axes are moved simultaneously and are programmed
(option 24) with the same axis designation,
+Z
e.g. gantry axes or tandem tables.

PLC axes Axes can be controlled by the PLC. They are

programmed over M functions or OEM cycles.

The PLC axes are positioned independently of

the NC axes and are therefore designated as
asynchronous axes.

21
Servo Control of Axes

Analog The position controller is integrated in the TNC. The motor speed
speed-command control and the current controller are located in the servo amplifier.

± 10 V interface (connection X8) to the servo amplifier.

Axis feedback HEIDENHAIN contouring controls can be operated with following

control error (also called lag) or with velocity feedforward control.

Servo control with The term “following error” denotes the distance between the
following error momentary nominal position and the actual position of the axis.
The velocity is calculated as follows:
v = kv · sa v = speed
kv = position loop gain
sa = following error

Servo control with Feedforward means that the speed and the acceleration are
feedforward adjusted to fit the machine.
Together with the values calculated from the following error, it
forms the nominal value.
This greatly reduces the following error (in the range of a few µm).
The feedforward is adjustable from 0 to 100 % via a machine
parameter.

Central drive It is possible to use one common drive for several or all machine
axes. The NC software allows the user to use the same nominal
position value output for more than one axis.
The most important basic requirements for realizing a machine
with central drive:
• A common drive package with an analog nominal position value
input exists for all axes.
• The machine axes are to be handled as clamping axes by the
PLC.
• Use the PLC to monitor the drive regarding movement in
multiple axes, and output an error message if necessary.

22
Position
Control loop cycle The cycle time for path interpolation is defined as the time interval
times during which interpolation points on the path are calculated. The
control-loop cycle time of the TNC 320 is 3 ms.

Axis clamping The control loop can be opened through the PLC in order to clamp
specific axes.

Block processing When running long programs from the internal memory, the TNC
time has a short block processing time of only 6 ms. This means that
the TNC can even mill contours made of 0.5 mm line segments at
feed rates as high as 5 meters per minute.
Time
3 ms
Look-ahead The TNC calculates the geometry ahead of time in order to adjust
the feed rate. In this way directional changes are detected in time
to accelerate or decelerate the appropriate NC axes.

Jerk limiting To prevent machine oscillations, the jerk is limited to attain

optimum path control.

Open-loop axes One or more axes can be defined as open-loop axes (manually
operated axes, counter axes). They have position encoders for
determining and displaying the current position value, but no
nominal-value outputs. The target position is approached by the
machine operator manually (e.g. via mechanical handwheels).
When an NC block with an open-loop axis is reached during
machining, a dialog window appears, prompting the machine
operator to traverse the axis to the nominal coordinates.

Machine Configuration

A control must have access to specific machine data (e.g. traverse

distances, acceleration, speeds) before it can execute its
programmed instructions. These data are defined in machine
parameters. Every machine has its own set of parameters.

Structured The TNC 320 features a simplified configuration editor. The

organization machine parameters are displayed on the control's screen in a
of machine clear tree structure. Move through the structure with the TNC
parameters operating panel or a USB mouse. The parameters are entered in
windows, much like on a PC.

As an alternative, the configuration editor can display a table view.

This is especially useful when configuring the parameter blocks,
since the parameters of all axes are then visible at a glance.
Quick access using Each machine parameter has a unique 6-digit MP number. The
MP numbers GOTO function can be used for quick access to any machine
parameter.

23
Encoders

For speed and position control of the axes and spindle,

HEIDENHAIN offers both incremental as well as absolute
measuring systems.

Incremental Incremental encoders have as measuring standard a grating

encoders consisting of alternate lines and spaces. Relative movement
between the scanning head and the scale causes output of
sinusoidal scanning signals.
The measured value is calculated from these signals.
Reference mark When the machine is switched on, the machine axes need to
traverse a reference mark for an accurate reference to be
established between measured value and machine position. For
encoders with distance-coded reference marks, the maximum
travel until automatic reference mark evaluation for linear encoders
is only 20 mm or 80 mm, depending on the model, or 10° or 20°
for angle encoders.
Reference mark The routine for traversing the reference marks can also be started
evaluation for specific axes via the PLC during operation (reactivation of
parked axes).
Output signals Incremental encoders with sinusoidal output signals with levels
» 1 VPP are suitable for connection to HEIDENHAIN numerical
controls.

Absolute encoders With absolute encoders, the position information is contained in

several coded tracks. Thus, an absolute reference is available
immediately after switch-on. Reference-mark traverse is not
necessary. Additional incremental signals are output for highly
dynamic control loops.
EnDat interface The TNC 320 is fitted with the serial EnDat interface for the
connection of absolute encoders.
Note: The EnDat interface on HEIDENHAIN encoders differs in its
pin assignment from the interface on Siemens motors with
integrated absolute ECN/EQN rotary encoders. Special adapter
cables are available.

Encoder inputs for Incremental and absolute linear, angular or rotary encoders from
position control HEIDENHAIN can be connected to encoder inputs of the TNC 320.

24
Types of Error Compensation

The TNC 320 automatically compensates mechanical errors on the

machine.

Linear error Linear error can be compensated over the entire travel range for
each axis.

Nonlinear error The TNC 320 can compensate for ball-screw pitch errors and sag
simultaneously. The compensation values are stored in a table. A
separate backlash can also be entered for each measuring point
(outside of the controlled system).

Backlash For length measurements by spindle and rotary encoder, the play
between table movement and rotary encoder movement on
direction changes can be compensated. This backlash is outside
the controlled system.

Thermal expansion To compensate thermal expansion, the machine expansion

behavior must be known.

The temperature can be recorded via temperature measurement

thermistors connected to the analog inputs of the PLC extension.
The PLC evaluates the temperature information and transfers the
compensation value to the NC.

25
Monitoring Functions

During operation, the TNC 320 monitors a number of parameters:

• Amplitude of the encoder signals

• Edge separation of the encoder signals
• Absolute position for encoders with distance-coded reference
marks
• Current position (servo lag monitoring)
• Actual path traversed (movement monitoring)
• Position deviation at standstill
• Checksum of safety-related functions
• Supply voltage
• Buffer battery voltage
• Operating temperature of the MC and CPU
• Running time of the PLC program

In the case of hazardous errors, an EMERGENCY STOP message

is sent to the external electronics via the control-is-ready output,
and the axes are brought to a stop.
The correct connection of the TNC 320 into the machine’s
EMERGENCY STOP loop is checked when the control system is
switched on.

In the event of an error, the TNC 320 displays a message in plain

language.

Context-sensitive The HELP and ERR keys provide the user with context-sensitive
help help. This means that in the event of an error message, the
TNC 320 displays information on the cause of the error and
proposes solutions. The machine manufacturer can also use this
function for PLC error messages.

KinematicsDesign KinematicsDesign is a PC program for creating adaptable flexible

(accessory) kinematic configurations. It supports:
• Complete kinematic configurations
• Transfer of configuration files between control and PC

When used with the iTNC 530, KinematicsDesign provides further

conveniences:
• Assignment table
• Kinematics description table
• Kinematics subfile description table
• Tool-carrier kinematics description table
• Definition table for collision-monitored objects (CMO)
• Configuration and initial operation of Dynamic Collision
Monitoring (DCM; option 40)

If KinematicsDesign is connected with a control online (operation

is also possible with the programming station software), then
machine movements can be simulated graphically along with axis
traverse. With the iTNC 530, when DCM is active the workpiece
space is also simulated and any collisions or collision-endangered
objects are displayed in a definable color.
Depending on the control involved, the visualization capabilities
include the pure depiction of the transformation sequence and
even wire models or a complete representation of the working
envelope on the iTNC 530.

Position-controlled The position of the spindle is monitored by the TNC 320.

spindle
Encoder HEIDENHAIN rotary encoder with sinusoidal voltage signals
(1 VPP) or EnDat interface.

Tapping There are special cycles for tapping with or without floating tap
holder. For tapping without floating tap holder, the spindle must be
operated under position control.

Oriented spindle With a position-controlled spindle, the spindle can be positioned

stop exactly to 0.1°.

Spindle override 0 to 150 %

Gear ranges A specific nominal speed can be defined for each gear range. The
gear stages are controlled by the PLC.

Second spindle Up to two spindles can be alternately controlled.

You can switch from spindle 1 to spindle 2 through the PLC.
Because the second spindle is controlled instead of an axis, the
number of available axes will be reduced by one.

27
Commissioning and Diagnostic Aids

The TNC 320 provides internal commissioning and diagnostic aids.

• Activation of spindle commands
• Enabling control-internal debug outputs

The online monitor is a component part of the TNC 320 and is

called by a code number.

TNCscopeNT PC software for transferring the oscilloscope files to the PC.

(accessory) Note: The trace files are saved in the TNCscopeNT data format.

API DATA The API DATA function enables the control to display the states or
contents of the symbolic API markers and API double words. This
function requires that your PLC program use the new symbolic
memory interface.

Note:
The API DATA function does not provide usable display values with
the iTNC 530-compatible memory interface (API 1.0).

Table function The current conditions of the markers, words, inputs, outputs,
counters and timers are displayed in tables. The conditions can be
changed through the keyboard.

are available, regardless of whether you want to create special
algorithms for special functions, or separate solutions such as an
interface for machine maintenance software.
The applications created can be included via the PLC in the familiar
PLC windows, or they can be displayed in separate free windows
that can be expanded to the TNC's full screen size.

32
PLC basic program The PLC basic program serves as a basis for adapting the TNC 320
to the requirements of the respective machine. Registered
