Program simulation and execution.
Types of simulation.
The simulation options are available on the horizontal softkey menu. By default, the menu
only offers two of the options. To enable all the options, it is necessary to expand the softkey
and access the configurator (last softkey).
Theoretical travel.
• The simulation ignores tool radius compensation (functions G41 and G42), hence
drawing the programmed tool path.
• The simulation does not send M H S T functions to the PLC.
• The simulation does not move the axes of the machine nor starts the spindle.
• The simulation takes into account the dwells programmed with G4.
• The simulation takes into account the program stops programmed with M00 and M01.
G functions.
• The simulation ignores tool radius compensation (functions G41 and G42), hence
drawing the tool center path.
• The simulation does not send M H S T functions to the PLC.
• The simulation does not move the axes of the machine nor starts the spindle.
• The simulation takes into account the dwells programmed with G4.
• The simulation takes into account the program stops programmed with M00 and M01.
G M S T functions.
• The simulation ignores tool radius compensation (functions G41 and G42), hence
drawing the tool center path.
• The simulation sends M H S T functions to the PLC.
• The simulation does not move the axes of the machine nor starts the spindle.
• The simulation takes into account the dwells programmed with G4.
• The simulation takes into account the program stops programmed with M00 and M01.
Main plane.
• The simulation ignores tool radius compensation (functions G41 and G42), hence
drawing the tool center path.
• The simulation does not send M H S T functions to the PLC.
• The simulation only executes the movement of the axes that make up the main plane.
The axes move at the maximum feedrate allowedregardless of the programmed "F"
value. It is possible to change that feedrate with the feedrate override switch.
• The simulation starts the spindle if it has been programmed.
• The simulation ignores the dwells programmed with G4.
• The simulation takes into account the program stops programmed with M00 and M01.
Rapid.
• The simulation ignores tool radius compensation (functions G41 and G42), hence
drawing the tool center path.
• The simulation sends M H S T functions to the PLC.
