Multi-channel machining
11.2 Multi-channel support
For a multi-channel display, the wait times that occur are displayed at the wait points (WAIT
marks). This provides you with an overview of the time sequence of the program and you can
perform the first optimization runs.
At the end of the program, the total runtime for each channel is shown.
The actual time is recorded during time measurement, i.e. override and similar actions are
included in the time measurement.
Shifting blocks
You have the option of shifting program blocks to longer wait points - assuming that the
machining technology permits this - therefore reducing the machining time.
Time-related view
In the time-related view, the wait times at the WAIT marks as well as the required machining
times at the machining sections are displayed. If you change the program, time data is still
displayed at the corresponding WAIT marks or the corresponding blocks dimmed.
The determined times are lost if you exit the editor using the "Close" softkey or you open or
select another program. The times must be determined again through simulation.
