Two channels are represented side by side. One of these channels
has the focus.
The 1st channel (left pane) is the channel which was explicitly
selected in single-pane view This selection can also be made outside
the Machine operating area.
The right-hand pane displays:
· The associated channel configured in netnames.ini in section
[MULTICHANNEL] or, if not available
· The subsequent channel configured in the same group in
netnames.ini or, if not available
· The channel with the next highest number.
With the above mentioned conditions, dual-channel representation is
immediately displayed when the Machine operating area is started.
Other information
Dual-channel representation is a display for viewing the channel
information. Changes to NC channel data must still be made in the
single-pane display. See switchover. As changes to the NC channel
data are not entered via dual-channel display, there is no need for
mode-specific softkeys to show the channels in the different operating
modes in the left and right pane.
The division into two channel panes results in new boundary
conditions for the information in each channel pane: In dual-channel
view
· It is not possible to make entries in the relevant buffers in "MDI"
and "Teach-in" modes.
You have to switch to single-channel view to make entries.
· Traversing movements of the axes are not accepted.
· The display type "program blocks" is disallowed if a part program is
being executed from external in one of the displayed channels.
For selecting and changing operating modes, please refer to the
following chapter.
