· Functionality of a multi-channel step editor is available as an
option.
It provides the following features:
- Simultaneous display of multiple programs for a
workpiece in step representation in multiple channels
- Either fixed step length or time-proportional
representation of step lengths in the channels
- Display of processing duration for steps and
wait time at synchronization points
Prerequisite for time calculation:
- Actual execution of the programs in the individual channels
Advantages of multi-channel display:
- Benefits of step representation plus
- Assessment of synchronization between the channels,
optimization possibilities using concrete execution times
- Fast changeover between the programs of the
different channels
Important: The time calculation must be performed again after
any changes were made to the program.
