Function
You can process part programs for orientable toolholders using the
simulation function. The following boundary conditions must be
observed:
• The simulation distinguishes whether a toolholder Y has been
activated for a tool x.
• Changes in the active toolholder are not detected. This is why the
simulation uses the toolholder kinematic set initially for a tool y.
• Changes made after first activation (TCARR=x) are not
considered.
• To use several toolholder kinematics for one tool y, create several
identical tools with different toolholder settings.
• Inactive files are grayed out.
Function
To allow you to handle data and programs flexibly, you can organize,
store and display them according to different criteria.
The memory is divided into:
• NC memory (main memory and program memory) containing the
active system and user programs as well as all part programs for
immediate execution and
• Hard disk
Programs can be exchanged between the program memory and hard
disk.
Part programs may be stored either in the program memory of the NC
or on the hard disk, but they are always executed from the program
memory.
The "Load" and "Unload" functions are used to load or unload
programs to or from the program memory (see Chapter 9.3 NC).
