MC Works64
Course Description
The use of multiple platforms in industrial automation has called upon the integration of several software packages into one single usable software package. MCWORKS64 comes with a centralized project management tool: the Workbench. This tool is a single application needed to configure and run the different aspect of an HMI project. The application based on .NET technology will allow making project changes over the internet. This course will cover the several applications provided through Workstation including: GraphWorX64 - used to create dashboards and interfaces for Runtime users. AlarmWorX64 - a distributed enterprise-wide alarm and events management system TrendWorX64 - a server application for data logging and data retrieval of multiple types of databases. The Unified Data Manager (UDM) - a centralized approach for managing and configuring commonly used items The Global Aliasing System (GAS) - a referencing feature for any MC WORX64 applications to quickly switch between multiple data sources using a single reference by changing the value of the reference. The Language Aliasing System (LAS) - provides the translation of text strings and conversion of measurements for any languages required. Course Outline LESSON 1 - Introduction to MC Works64

Mill Programming G Code
This course is intended to teach the G-code programming language to the machine operator or programmer. This class will start with very basic 2 axis programming and through the course of 3 days the student will be able to program a real world part from a blue print type drawing. The class is given on our M700 simulators which provide a 3D solid graphics cutting interface. This course is not intended to teach the student to become a machinist. Some practical instruction on machining will be given though. Course Outline

Macro Programming
The MEAU Macro Programming Class has been designed to provide an understanding in macro or parametric programming, along with system, local, common variables and their usage. Students will learn to build macro programs, debug them and make them error proof. They will also learn to navigate through the control to find locations of variables and how to use the various G-code call outs. Upon completion of the Macro Programming class, the prospective student will be able to utilize custom GCode, M-Code, and canned cycle programs using macro programming techniques. The student will be able to make macro programs to do operations such as bolt hole patterns and pocketing routines. Macro programming is a programming system in which variables; arguments, arithmetic functions and logic are used to make programs that can be used for very specific functions with a minimal amount of user input. They can work very similar to the existing fixed cycles in the CNC control. Macro programs are a very powerful way of controlling work done automatically through a series of logically programmed routines. If for example, a machine utilizes a spindle touch probe, this information from the touch probe routines can be analyzed and compared to tolerances set by arguments in a macro program and then automatically adjusts cutter compensation or fixture offset locations to keep the part in the middle of the tolerance band. Or an alarm message can be output when a part or feature is out of tolerance. Fixed cycles can be made into new cycles, customized to work exactly the way you would want them to work. Redundant programming routines or the process of checking for correct offsets, locations and initial states can be done through macro programming. The macro programs can be as easy or detailed as you would like them to be. All of the parameters, variables used and error proofing are up to the programmer. This manual is written with variables, syntax, and formatting for Mitsubishi controls, but this format is very similar to other controls and the logic could be used in any control. Items covered in this class:
Variables Local System (machine) o Common o Argument sets A-Z o I,J,K,I,J,K... o Math functions +, -, *, / o Boolean logic o Trig functions o LOG functions o X2, Square root, Exponent functions o Rounding o Binary and BCD conversions o o
