Note that the following Steps 1 to 3 describe how to open a desired program file on the
PPU. If you are already in the program editor window, you can go to Step 4 directly.
1. Select the program management operating area.
2. Enter the system program directory and position the cursor on the program to be simulated.
3. Press this key and the program is opened in the program editor window.
4. Switch to "AUTO" mode.
5. Press this softkey to open the program simulation window, and the program control mode
PRT is automatically activated.
6. Press this key to start the simulation for the selected program.
The program execution is displayed graphically on the screen. The machine axes do not
move.
7. You can also select the vertical softkeys as required in the simulation window as follows:
