PP Tables and PP Word Syntaxes
PP Word Tables
You can create and manage Post-Processor word tables with NC Manufacturing
products.
Sample PP word tables are delivered with the product in the ..\startup\manufacturing\PPTables
folder. Each PP word table is stored in a unique text file with suffix pptable.
These tables can be used as a basis for creating user-defined tables.
A PP word table can be defined for a specific machine tool and used in NC
applications.
You can also define the general syntaxes of post-processor words. These syntaxes
will be proposed when you want to create a PP instruction.
A PP word table comprises:
- major words without parameters
- major words with a text
- major words with parameters
- minor words
- word syntaxes.
You can define for a given machine tool:
The NC Manufacturing product will resolve the parameters of these syntaxes
and syntax sequences and generate the corresponding statements in the APT output.
Note:
TPRINT and NOTE are automatically included in the lists of major words with
parameters and minor words respectively even if they are not specifically declared
in the PP word table.
NC Commands
You can define for a given machine tool (i.e. post-processor) PP word syntaxes
associated to particular NC commands.
An NC command is a machine function such as feedrate declaration (NC_FEEDRATE)
or spindle activation (NC_SPINDLE_START).
A syntax comprises a major word and one or more syntax elements such as minor
words, numerical values, lists and parameters.
A syntax that includes lists or parameters is a parameterized syntax
(see example below):
*START_NC_COMMAND NC_COMPENSATION
LOADTL/%MFG_TL_NUMBER,%MFG_TOOL_COMP
*END
Note that the & character indicates a list and the % character
indicates a parameter. A list has a finite number of values. You can define
only one syntax for each NC command.
The example below shows how lists can be used to define inch units for
feeds and speeds:
*START_NC_COMMAND
NC_FEEDRATE
*START_LIST MFG_FEED_UNIT
IPM ,IPR
*END
FEDRAT/%MFG_FEED_VALUE,&MFG_FEED_UNIT
*END
/
*START_NC_COMMAND NC_SPINDLE_START
*START_LIST MFG_SPNDL_UNIT
RPM ,SFM
*END
SPINDL/%MFG_SPNDL_SPEED,&MFG_SPNDL_UNIT,&MFG_SPNDL_WAY
*END
/
*START_NC_COMMAND NC_SPINDLE_LATHE
*START_LIST MFG_SPNDL_UNIT
RPM ,SFM
*END
SPINDL/%MFG_SPNDL_SPEED,&MFG_SPNDL_UNIT
*END
The example below shows how lists can be used to define metric units for
feeds and speeds:
*START_NC_COMMAND
NC_FEEDRATE
*START_LIST MFG_FEED_UNIT
MMPM ,MMPR
*END
FEDRAT/%MFG_FEED_VALUE,&MFG_FEED_UNIT
*END
/
*START_NC_COMMAND NC_SPINDLE_START
*START_LIST MFG_SPNDL_UNIT
RPM ,SMM
*END
SPINDL/%MFG_SPNDL_SPEED,&MFG_SPNDL_UNIT,&MFG_SPNDL_WAY
*END
/
*START_NC_COMMAND NC_SPINDLE_LATHE
*START_LIST MFG_SPNDL_UNIT
RPM ,SMM
*END
SPINDL/%MFG_SPNDL_SPEED,&MFG_SPNDL_UNIT
*END
For an example of how to define syntaxes in NC commands, please see
PP Word Syntaxes in the Customizing section of
this guide.
Arithmetic Operators
It is possible to use the following arithmetic operators in PP word syntaxes:
- addition (+)
- subtraction (-)
- multiplication (*)
- division (/).
These operators can be used:
- between word syntaxes (for example, %MFG_xxx + %MFG_yyy)
- between a value and a word syntax (for example, n + %MFG_yyy)
- between a word syntax and a value (for example, %MFG_xxx + n)
- between values (for example, n + m).
Parenthesis are not needed in expressions: they will be ignored and will
not appear in NC data output. For example:
WORD/%MFG_aaa, %MFG_xxx + %MFG_yyy, %MFG_bbb/2
Operators are processed in the order they appear in the syntax. For example:
%MFG_xxx + %MFG_yyy * %MFG_zzz
This means that %MFG_xxx is added to %MFG_yyy, then this sum is multiplied
by %MFG_zzz.
You should avoid using the +, -, *, / characters for other meanings. For
example, you could use an underscore (_) instead of a dash (-) in the following
expression to avoid any ambiguity:
PPRINT/DIAMETER-VALUE, %MFG_NOMINAL_DIAM
Syntaxes of NC Commands
NC command syntaxes that are supported in the current version are as follows:
NC Commands for Start Comments
NC_xxx_MO_START_COMMENT syntaxes allow an automatic
output in the APT of instructions at the start of machining operations, which
allows among other things to easily recognize the start of an operation, to
know the type of the operation, or to launch functions automatically (start
coolant, axis unlocking, activating a working mode, and so on).
A sample PP Table (PPTableSampleMOComment.pptable) is delivered in the ..\startup\manufacturing\PPTables
folder.
For axial machining
operations:
*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_AXIAL_MO_START_COMMENT
*START_SEQUENCE
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_START_COMMENT BEGIN
PPRINT MACHINE OPERATION = %MFG_MO_TYPE
PPRINT OPERATION NAME = %MFG_MO_IDENTIFIER
PPRINT PATTERN NAME = %MFG_PATTERN_NAME
PPRINT TOOL ASSEMBLY = %MFG_TL_ASMBLY_ID
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_START_COMMENT END
*END
*END
The following example shows the type of APT source that can be generated:
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_START_COMMENT BEGIN
PPRINT MACHINE OPERATION = Drilling
PPRINT OPERATION NAME = Drilling.1
PPRINT PATTERN NAME = Hole.1
PPRINT TOOL ASSEMBLY = Drill_Diam10
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_START_COMMENT END

PPRINT TOOL ASSEMBLY = %MFG_TL_ASMBLY_ID
PPRINT NC_3X_MO_START_COMMENT END
*END
*END
For 5-axis milling operations:
*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_5X_MO_START_COMMENT

*END
*END

*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_LATHE_MO_START_COMMENT
*START_SEQUENCE
PPRINT NC_LATHE_MO_START_COMMENT BEGIN
PPRINT MACHINE OPERATION = %MFG_MO_TYPE
PPRINT OPERATION NAME = %MFG_MO_IDENTIFIER
PPRINT TOOL ASSEMBLY = %MFG_TL_ASMBLY_ID
PPRINT NC_LATHE_MO_START_COMMENT END
*END
*END
For 2.5-axis milling
operations:
*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_MILL_MO_START_COMMENT
*START_SEQUENCE
PPRINT NC_MILL_MO_START_COMMENT BEGIN
PPRINT MACHINE OPERATION = %MFG_MO_TYPE
PPRINT OPERATION NAME = %MFG_MO_IDENTIFIER
PPRINT TOOL ASSEMBLY = %MFG_TL_ASMBLY_ID
PPRINT NC_MILL_MO_START_COMMENT END
*END
*END
NC Commands for End Comments
NC_xxx_MO_END_COMMENT syntaxes allow an automatic
output in the APT of instructions at the end of machining operations (stop spindle
rotation, stop coolant, axis locking / unlocking, deactivating a working mode,
and so on) and to easily recognize the end of operations. This allows the PP
to stop reading ahead of the APT if it is searching an instruction only inside
the current operation, for example. This avoids the need to manually insert
APT words, which is not always possible.
For axial machining
operations:
*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_AXIAL_MO_END_COMMENT
*START_SEQUENCE
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_END_COMMENT BEGIN
PPRINT MACHINE OPERATION = %MFG_MO_TYPE
PPRINT OPERATION NAME = %MFG_MO_IDENTIFIER
PPRINT PATTERN NAME = %MFG_PATTERN_NAME
PPRINT TOOL ASSEMBLY = %MFG_TL_ASMBLY_ID
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_END_COMMENT END
*END
*END
The following example shows the type of APT source that can be generated:
$$ End generation of : Drilling.1
PPRINT NC_AXIAL_MO_END_COMMENT BEGIN

NC Instructions
You can define for a given machine tool (i.e. post-processor) sequences of
PP word syntaxes associated to particular NC instructions.
NC instructions are either auxiliary commands
or axial machining operations.
A syntax comprises a major word and one or more syntax elements such as minor
words, numerical values and standard parameters. A set of standard parameters
is associated to each NC instruction. Parameters may be combined in arithmetical
expressions.
A syntax that includes parameters is a parameterized syntax (see examples
below):
*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_TOOL_CHANGE
*START_SEQUENCE
TOOLNO/%MFG_TOOL_NUMBER,%MFG_NOMINAL_DIAM
TPRINT/%MFG_TOOL_NAME
LOADTL/%MFG_TOOL_NUMBER
*END
*END
*START_NC_INSTRUCTION NC_TAPPING
*START_SEQUENCE

*END
*END
Note that the % character indicates a parameter.
You can define one or more syntax sequences for each NC instruction.

see PP Word Syntaxes in the Customizing section
of this guide.

Standard Parameters for Axial Machining Operation
Type NC Instructions
For axial machining operations, the standard parameters are either:
- parameters defined on the corresponding machining operation (geometrical
data, machining strategy parameters, feeds and speeds, and so on)
- parameters that are calculated according to an application method.
In the figures below:
- detail depth (MFG_DETAIL_DEPTH), total depth (MFG_TOTAL_DEPTH) and total
depth up to the tool compensation point (MFG_TOTAL_DEPTH_COMP) are computed
parameters
- breakthrough distance (MFG_BREAKTHROUGH) is a machining strategy parameter
- tool tip length is a geometric attribute of the tool (MFG_TL_TIP_LGTH).
Overall breakthrough is the breakthrough distance plus the tool tip length.
