The HEIDENHAIN PLC basic program makes the PNC 610 easier to use. Its program code is in English, but English and German can be selected for the interface. The basic program includes the PLC code for a pallet changer and a Python interface for user-friendly touch operation, allowing users to drag and drop pallets from the current magazine to another magazine location, a gripper, a staging area, or the machine.
