6.1 Machine Structure
6.1.1 Adapting the MANUALplus 620 to the machine
Legend:
OMG: Operating mode group (OperatingModeGroup)
CH: Machining channel (NC channel)
Axis: Axis or spindle
Use the following organizational structure to configure the machine structure
in the MANUALplus 620:
The machine consists of operating mode groups (OMGs).
Every operating mode group manages machining channels.
Every machining channel manages axes.
The operating mode groups of a machine as well as the machining channels
of an operating mode group operate independently of each other.
All machines have this organizational structure – even if a simple machine
requires only one OMG and one channel.
A structure for simulation corresponding to the physical structure of the
machine must be configured. As a rule, the machine structure and the
structure for simulation have the same configuration.
