8.2 Program editing and simulation
8.2.1 Program editing
The process of editing or modifying a program is the following:
1 Open the program at the editor or create a new program.
2 Use the cursor to select the block where the new blocks will be inserted. Edit the program
blocks using the editing modes available.
3 Save the program so it can be modified or executed later on. This operation may be
performed automatically as the program is being edited or if the editor has been
personalized.
Available editing modes
Any of the various editing modes available may be used while editing a program. The
available editing modes are:
CNC language
It is edited block by block and each one may be written in ISO language or in High level
language. When editing high level commands and depending on the type of command, the
editor offers a list of available commands. See
"8.3.2 Contextual programming assistance."
on page 167.
8055 CNC language
Part-programs may be edited in the CNC's own language and in the 8055 language. The
8055 CNC programming language is enabled at the part-program editor using the
"Customize" softkey of the horizontal menu. Within this option, activate the softkey of the
8055 editor. See
"8.2.2 Editing a program in the 8055 CNC language" on page 159.
Canned cycle editor
With this editor, it is possible to define machining and probing canned cycles quickly and
easily. When done editing the cycle, the CNC generates the necessary blocks and it will add
them to the program inserting them after the block indicated by the cursor. This mode offers
the following advantages:
• There is no need to know the canned cycle parameters.
• The CNC only lets entering the data being shown, thus avoiding any data entry errors
when defining the cycles.
• The programmer is assisted at all times with help messages.
Profile editor
With this editor it is possible to edit new profiles quickly and easily. The editor shows a graphic
representation of the profile being defined. After defining the profile data, the CNC generates
the necessary blocks and it will add them to the program inserting them after the block
indicated by the cursor.
Inclined planes (·M· model only)
Help to the user for programming inclined planes using the instructions #CS and #ACS. Using
the "Insert" softkey, the block corresponding to the programmed instruction is inserted after
the block where the cursor is.
Geomertic help
Assistance to the user for programming geometric help (scaling factor, corner rounding, etc.)
using G72, G73 instructions, etc. Using the "Insert" softkey, the block corresponding to the
programmed instruction is inserted after the block where the cursor is.
TEACH-IN
It is basically the same as editing in CNC language, except when it comes to programming
coordinates. This option displays the coordinates of each axis and lets enter them directly
into the block indicated by the cursor.
