Graphic representation
Graphic parameters
• Simulation speed.
Select on the top right side of the screen the percentage of simulation speed to be applied.
Use the [][] keys to select the percentage and press [ENTER] for the CNC to assume that
value.
• Tool path colors.
It only makes sense in line graphics (not in solid ones). It lets you choose the colors to represent
rapid traverse, the tool path without compensation, the tool path with compensation and
threading.
Use the [][] keys to select, on the right side of the screen, the type of path and use the s [][]
keys to select the color to be applied.
Press [ENTER] for the CNC to assume those values.
• Colors of solid.
It only makes sense in solid graphics (not in line graphics). It lets you use the colors to represent
the cutter, the part, the axes and the clamps.
Use the [][] keys to select, on the right side of the screen, the type of path and use the [][]
keys to select the color to be applied.
Press [ENTER] for the CNC to assume those values.
Clear screen
When selecting this option, the CNC clears the screen and shows the axes or the part unmachined.
Starting graphic simulation
During graphic simulation, the CNC takes into account the simulation speed and the position of the
feedrate override switch (FEED 0%-120%).
When selecting a new simulation speed, the CNC applies 100% of it regardless of the position of
the switch. Once the switch is turned, the CNC begins to apply the selected %.
To interrupt the simulation, press [STOP].
ISO
In the conversational mode of the CNC, it is possible to generate an ISO-coded program with some
basic G functions as well as M and T functions from an operation (cycle) or on a part-program.
To enable this feature, set general machine parameter ISOSIMUL (P183) with a value other than
zero. This parameter identifies the number of the ISO program generated in user RAM memory.
The program generated from the conversational program is an ISO-coded program created in RAM
memory. This program may be later edited, copied or executed at the CNC itself.
To generate the ISO program, use the simulation in conversational mode through the "GRAPHICS"
key. This can be done in a whole program on the PPROG screen or in any of the particular TC or
MC cycles.
The screen cannot be cleared while executing or simulating the part. If it is, interrupt the
simulation by pressing the [STOP] key.
Once the type of graphics, the display area, the graphic parameters, etc have been
selected, press the [START] key to start graphic simulation.
To quit the simulation mode, press either [GRAPHICS] or [ESC].
