3.1.14 ºSIMULATIONº

With the ºSIMULATIONº function, it is possible to test a program. The traversing movements of the tools are simulated graphically on the CRT.

3.1.14.1 Simulation ºAREA OF THE WORKPIECEº

·A graphic display with input fields simplifies the input of the values for the simulation area and the dimensions of the workpiece.

·Select the simulation area so that the programmed traversing range is covered.

·The values entered need not be in proportion to the display; the simulation area is not cut off, because the control evaluates the larger value for the display.

The NC channels and the simulation channel can influence

each other because they use common data.

Common data are, for example:

±Settable zero offsets

±Programmable zero offsets

±Tool offset

±Global R parameters

±Machine data

±Setting data.

Any influencing of the data in the NC channels by the simulation channel, can be prevented using an interlock. Simulation simultaneously with processing then is not possible.
