TNCscopeNT by DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH

TNCscopeNT is a Windows-based oscilloscope and diagnostic tool for HEIDENHAIN TNC controls. It connects to supported TNC systems to capture, visualize, and analyze control, drive, and PLC signals either live or from recorded traces. Designed for service technicians, machine builders, and advanced users, it streamlines commissioning, tuning, and troubleshooting of CNC machines.

Key features:

• Multi-channel time-based traces of internal variables such as position, velocity, current, following error, and PLC flags
• Configurable sampling rates, trace duration, and trigger conditions with pre/post-trigger capture
• Cursors, zoom, overlays, and basic measurement tools for precise analysis
• Session saving and data export to common formats (for documentation or offline review)
• Network-based connection to the control with support for offline analysis on a PC

Typical uses:

• Servo tuning and axis optimization
• Diagnosing intermittent errors and alarms
• Verifying machine dynamics and capturing event-driven behavior during machining
• Documenting service findings and machine condition over time

Compatibility and requirements:

• Works with HEIDENHAIN TNC controls that support remote diagnostics; consult HEIDENHAIN for the current list of supported control families and software versions
• Windows PC with network connectivity and appropriate access rights to the control
