Graphical simulation is implemented as a self-contained process. The
simulation can be selected directly from the program overview or from
the ASCII editor after selection of a part program in the "Program"
operating area.
You can perform simulation without any special commissioning. The
simulation can be started with default data in accordance with the set
turning or milling technology.
Using the "Match data" function, selected data can be loaded from NC
to the simulation environment and are then available for the simulated
programs just like during program execution in the NC.
Providing the correct password is used, additional functions and
optimizations (e.g. accelerate simulation run-up) can be performed.
This is described in the Commissioning Manual HMI Advanced,
Chapter Match simulation data. In addition, the default values listed in
the simulation interface can be adapted to suit the machine
manufacturer's requirements.
• Drilling/milling
• Complete turning operations
• Workpiece-specific technology assignment through local
"DPWP.INI" file
The simulation results of several part programs in succession (e.g. for
multilateral machining during milling, internal/external machining
during turning, multi-slide machining, etc.) can be superimposed on an
overall display of the same blank (see machining list in
Channel/Spindle softkey). The finished part results from the sequential
interaction of all the simulated part programs. The direct simulation
of several part programs (simultaneously) is not possible.
The range of effectiveness (channel, spindle, tool, sequence) of the
currently selected part program is visible in the status line on the lower
edge of the simulation window.
