Simultaneous Recording Before Machining Of The Workpiece; Simultaneous Recording During Machining Of The Workpiece - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

Note
Operating area switchover
The simulation is exited if you switch into another operating area. If you restart the simulation,
then this starts again at the beginning of the program.
7.3

Simultaneous recording before machining of the workpiece

Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you can graphically display the execution of
the program on the screen to monitor the result of the programming.
You can replace the programmed feedrate with a dry run feedrate to influence the speed of
execution and select the program test to disable axis motion.
If you would like to view the current program blocks again instead of the graphical display, you
can switch to the program view.
Procedure

Simultaneous recording during machining of the workpiece

If the view of the work space is blocked by coolant, for example, while the workpiece is being
machined, you can also track the program execution on the screen.

Software option
You require the option "Simultaneous recording (real-time simulation)" for the
simultaneous recording.
1. Load a program in the "AUTO" mode.
2. Press the "Prog. ctrl." softkey and activate the checkboxes "PRT no axis
movement" and "DRY run feedrate".
The program is executed without axis movement. The programmed fee‐
drate is replaced by a dry run feedrate.
3. Press the "Sim. rec." softkey.
4. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
The program execution is displayed graphically on the screen.
5. Press the "Sim. rec." softkey again to stop the recording.
