8.2.3 Program simulation
The graphic window shows the program selected at the editing window and its name appears
at the bottom center of the screen.
The program simulation procedure is the following:
1 Choose the type of graphic representation, its dimensions and the point of view. This data
may also be modified during the simulation of the program.
2 Activate the desired simulation options using the icon menu.
3 Press the START icon to start the simulation. Every time the START icon is pressed, the
editor saves the program being edited in the channel, even when the "save always" option
is not active.
4 The simulation may be interrupted with the STOP icon or canceled with the RESET icon.
The simulation of the program starts at the first block of the program and ends after executing
one of the end-of-program functions "M02" or "M30". As an option, it is possible to define
the first and last blocks of the simulation. See
"8.8 Working in the program window." on page
188.
To simulate the program, the CNC assumes the real configuration of the spindles of the
channel and the configuration of the machine parameters.
"Single block" mode of simulation.
If the –single block– mode is active, program execution will interrupted at the end of each
block; the [START] icon must be pressed again to continue.
Simulation options
The available simulation options are accessed from the icon menu. Pressing the icon
displays a window that shows the following options.
Program selected for simulation.
The –single block– mode is selected from the icon menu and may be selected
before or while simulating the program.
Tool radius compensation
It activates or cancels tool radius compensation to simulate the program.
Tool radius compensation being off, the simulation will ignore the programmed
tool radius compensation.
Conditional stop during simulation
It simulates the external "conditional stop" switch.
While active, the program simulation will be interrupted at the blocks having
a "conditional stop" function "M01". The simulation will resume when pressing
the START icon.
