    hiedenhien uses m code not g. its basically similar and from a beginners point of view
    a lot eisier to manually program. if your using a cam system (i use dolphin) use the
    TNCnnn POST nnn being control number (tnc150/151 etc) these are fitted to interact
    mills ,try heidenhein web site for more
    m codes you need most are m3,4,5, spindle start cw- ccw- stop & m25 -spindle stop/z retract, cutter comp RR & RL right/left os.Rads are CC circle ctr CE circle end. cycl def button gives cann cycles.And thats about it the rest is simple co-ord programming.hope this helps

    Hmm, I didn't know that all my cnc's are bilingual

    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Hi,

    You can change the machine/cnc control parameter to work in ISO/g-code

    Default Heidenhain to G-code

    Heidenhain has the MOD key. Go there and cursor up till you find the plain language-or- ISO switch. Many g-codes are similar to fanuc and differ mainly when you get into the canned cycles.

    Default G Code Heidenhain

    There is no reason why you could not program a Heidenhain control in ISO.
    G codes and M codes will work check webs site for Heidenhain control level for G code use. There are a few minor differences as to how Heidenhain language handles some info. All linear movements are defined with an L and X,Y & Z absolute or IX,IY & IZ for incremental, circles & rads are defined with CC for the centre start point (can be absolute X,Y or incremental IX, IY)
    and C for the circular move X, Y, etc. the DR cna be a + or - this indicates the direction of the arc. Heidenhain use an number of its own coversational type macros for pocketing, helixcal, drilling & tapping cycles these are quite simple and self explanatory.

    Any reasonable programmer should have no problem in using Heidehain.

    The lin below will help it has a wealth of info.

    Sorry,but I've worked with heidenhain more than two years and my opinion is that it's just waste of time to use this controller in ISO mode. It has very simple and powerfull conversational language (for milling applications) which makes programming much easier. I'm working with fanuc and heidenhain,every has it's own advantages and "black spots" but heidenhain excellent in it's conversational programming,once you understood it,will never forget,I swear I mean controllers series 355 and above..407,415... 426... worth to try...

    Hi
    you can change any Heidenhain controller system from TNC 151 up to iTNC 530 to programming with G cod or HeidenhainPlane Language . its depends on what kind of control system that you ask to know . for example for TNC 155 its just needs to change the Machine parametr . but in TNC 426 its easy ,...just choos program selection typ ISO or Heidenhain .

    OK Iam expert on Heidenhain p[lease let me know what exactly you want !

    Regards !

    Hi.

    we are going to buy a cnc milling machine (kern) with a iTNC 530 control. We are currently using solidcam to writte cn programs and use cimmco software to transfer codes to our cnc leadwell 300 by serial port. We need to know if we can send directly cnc (iso) codes to iTNC530 control by this kind of serial port or we need to convert to heindenhain code. there is a better option you can tell us?

    Hi,

    In the parameters of the system you can change it over to G code

    Dear Sir
    in the iTNC 530 the connection for RS232C and RG45 ( LAN ) is standard , with Cimmco Edit you can translate any Heidenhain to G code file ( go NC Function then find in this column the HEIDENHAIN/ISO Converter ) ,...

    in this control you have go in manual mode press MOD key then choose the program input with ENTER key you can choose Heidenhain or ISO or Heidenhain/ISO

    last things based on control software version and machine MD you can have or have note somthing , please change your data transfer with LAN cable and use TNCRemo its very easy to use and safe ,..and you dont need to tarnslate any program because control can accept and run any G code or Heidenhain if there are in memeory

    let me know if you have any trouble iam expert on heidenhain

    my 1st post and i really hate to hijack this thread.....

    i have a customer(side job(s)) using a heidenhain 425.
    i'm in need of a post "Gpost". i'm using pro/nc.

    i got mold splits, electrodes and paths to make and was hoping someone would/could share their post.

    this guy was having a problem finding the iso mod switch to go to g code which would be my easy way out. the heidenhain post so far is giving me a headache and i haven't got the time.



    thanks

    Hi Sharifi,
    I am new to this thread and this forum and also new to Bridgeport 720 Hidenhain 355.
    I bought this machine for my hobby use. I do 3D designing for hobby purpose of course and now want to mill parts.
    I bought this Bridgeport 720 for about $15,000 in almost OK condition.
    I did not receive any data transfer cable with it. I need to know the pin assignments and how to transfer G code.
    I bought it a couple of days ago, managed to set it and can manually jog it, change tool etc and run standard M codes but of course all manually. BUT I am unable to run a program as there were already some programs saved.
    Can you please help with all that, because with the manuals I am not getting any help especially regarding running a program.

    Shumail

    Software: Download area - HEIDENHAIN

    download TNCremo

    use a null modem cable ( and if your pc has no serial port you will need a usb to serial adapter or plug in card )

    Hi Mr. Sharifi.

    I am from Pakistan. I bought this Bridgeport Interact 720 VMC with Heidenhain TNC355 installed. I had a rotary axis installed as well to have it used as the fourth axis. Its very old, the problem is, seller import these machines as scrap and recondition and resell. They don't provide any services on how to control.
    I am very comfortable with the M-Code (I learned it on my own, still learning), but it very time consuming. I want to transfer G-Codes from my computer to this machine, just don't know where to begin; which mode to select (ME, FE or EXT), how to send G code into machine etc. I use post processor of Heidenhain ISO in Solidworks HSM Express, I suppose it is right but don't know for sure, need your help.
    Machine operation manuals and support should come free with the VMC but were not, Internet has been my best buddy so far but it seems that now I've hit the wall and can't seem to progress.

    I will really appreciate your help.



    Regards,

    Shumail
