Glossary
• a serial RS-232-C interface on the MMC module MMC100, and on
• the MMC modules MMC101 and MMC102 two RS-232-C interfaces
are available. Machining programs and manufacturer and user data can be loaded and
saved via these interfaces.
Services
Control operating area
Set
A section of a -> parts program terminated with a line feed. A distinction is made between ->
main blocks and -> subblocks.
Setting data
Data, which communicate properties of the machine tool to the NC control in a way defined
by the system software.
Simulator module
A simulator module is a module
• on which digital input variables can be simulated via control elements and
• digital output variables can be displayed.
Softkey
A key whose name appears on an area of the screen. The selection of keys displayed is
adapted dynamically to the operating situation. The freely assignable function keys
(softkeys) are assigned defined functions in the software.

then be activated separately via the -> PLC.
Spindle
