9.5 Program test

9.5 Program test
Several control functions are available for testing a new part program. These functions are provided to reduce
danger at the machine and time required for the test phase. Several program functions can be activated at the
same time to achieve a better result.
Test options
The following test options are described below:
•

Program execution without setpoint outputs

• Program execution in single­block mode
• Program execution with dry run feedrate
• Skip part program blocks
• Block search with or without calculation.
9.5.1 Program execution without setpoint outputs
Function
In the "Program test" status, a part program is executed without the output of axis or spindle setpoints.
The user can use this to check the programmed axis positions and auxiliary function outputs of a part program.
This program simulation can also be used as an extended syntax check.
Selection
This function is selected via the operator interface in the "Program control" menu.
The selection sets the following interface signal:
DB21, ... DBX25.7 (program test selected)
This does not activate the function.
Activation
The function is activated via interface signal:
DB21, ... DBX1.7 (activate program test)
Display
The corresponding field on the operator interface is reversed and the interface signal in the PLC as a checkback
of the active program test:
DB21, ... DBX33.7 (program test active)
