Overview
Task
The controller can supply the axis positions for the graphic display of machine movements and visualise them by means of a user program or in the graphic user interface.
This can be executed as follows:
- additively to normal controller mode
- or simulatively without real axis movements.
Characteristics
Before start of the NC program, the execution mode must be switched to simulation to activate the simulation.
This is possible via:
- the user interface or
- the PLC interface
Parametrisation
To configure the above modes, a number of different parameters must be assigned.
Mandatory note on references to other documents
For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.
For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
