July 2013 8.6 DCM – Dynamic Collision Monitoring 1441
DCM in the
Test Run mode
You can check a machining process for potential collisions in the Test Run
operating mode in order to ensure that time-consuming machining processes
are not canceled by collision messages. You specify the datum for the collision
test performed in this operating mode in the "workpiece blank in working
space" MOD function.
For more information on collision monitoring in Test Run mode, refer to the
User's Manual for the iTNC 530.
Set MP7507 to define the operating modes (editing, simulation or program run
modes of operation), in which the SELECT KINEMATICS soft key is to be
displayed under MOD.
In order to select kinematics for the simulation:
While in the Editing/Simulation operating mode, press the MOD key.
Press the SELECT KINEMATICS soft key.
You can simulate NC programs that are adapted to a certain kinematics model
or that switch the kinematics. The kinematics can also be displayed graphically
in the simulation:
Press the screen layout key.
Press the KINEMATIC soft key.
In order to select kinematics for the real machine or for the machining
operating modes:
While in a machining operating mode, press the MOD key.
Press the SELECT KINEMATICS soft key.
The previous method for selection, via the KINEMATIC code number, still exists.
It activates the kinematics for both operating modes.
Further constraints:
After the control has booted, the machine-parameter main file is in effect for
the program run and editing/simulation modes of operation.
The kinematics model selected for simulation (editing mode of operation) is
saved in non-volatile memory.
PLC switching of the kinematics, individual machine parameters or machine
parameter subfiles will only affect the program run modes of operation.
Changes by the NC program or an NC macro will always affect the current
operation mode, in which the NC program or NC macro is running.
Selecting the machine parameter main file (manually and via PLC) affects all
operating modes.
