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.

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 G-
Code, 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.
