On Monday September 1st 2025 we released version 9.0.0.0 of HeidenhainData our GUI program to read machine data from Heidenhain TNC 426 up to TNC 7. It comes with major enhancements.
In contrast to older models, newer controllers use the concept of symbolic Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) address names where identical names point to different numeric addresses on every machine. HeidenhainData now outputs correct results for different machines by only reading symbolic names.
For machines without DNC Option 18 HeidenhainData now automatically finds required marker addresses from different machines for correct output of machine states.
