Tool list
The tool positions are displayed in accordance with the associated channel in the tool list. If
only one TOA is
available, non-loaded tools are always displayed in the coordinate system of
the first channel.
Main spindle and counterspindle
You must assign the spindles identically in both channels. If the main spindle in the first channel
is the "left-hand" spindle, you must specify the main spindle in the second channel
correspondingly.
You define the meaning of the axes in the channel in the following machine data, e.g. 3 = main
spindle:
MD52206 $MCS_AXIS_USAGE Meaning of the axes in the channel
= 3 Main spindle (turning)
Multi-channel data
A task list is created for the programming with programSYNC. This task list contains the multi-
channel data that includes cross-channel information. The multi-channel data informs the
simulation, e.g. about the raw part. The multi-channel data contains implicitly a WAIT flag to
ensure that all programs in the involved channels are synchronized at the start.
● In ShopTurn programs, the multi-channel data is called automatically in the program
header.
● In G-Code programs, the relevant call of the multi-channel data is added automatically via
CYCLE208 after generating the task list.
If this call should not be added automatically, you can suppress it with
MD51228 $MNS_FUNCTION_MASK_TECH Bit 0 = 1 . The operator is then responsible
for calling the CYCLE208 and for informing the simulation about the raw part.
Program start
Two options are available to start programs in the channels:
● Press the "NC Start" key to start all channels automatically.
● Alternatively, the start can act only for the first channel that then starts all other involved
channels.
For these alternatives, you must adapt the "_M160" flag appropriately in the
CUST_TECHCYC manufacturer cycle.
