Type of simulation
When SIMULATING a part-program, the CNC requests the type of simulation desired; one of the
following options must be selected with the softkeys:
THEORETICAL PATH
It ignores tool radius compensation (functions G41, G42) thus drawing the programmed tool path.
It does not output the M, S, T function to the PLC.
It does neither move the axes of the machine nor starts the spindle.
The simulation takes into account the dwells programmed with G4.
G FUNCTIONS
It takes into account tool radius compensation (functions G41, G42) thus showing the graphic
representation of the path for the theoretical tool nose (it does not coincide with the programmed
path).
It does not output the M, S, T function to the PLC.
It does neither move the axes of the machine nor starts the spindle.
The simulation takes into account the dwells programmed with G4.
G, M, S, T FUNCTIONS
It takes into account tool radius compensation (functions G41, G42) thus showing the graphic
representation of the path for the theoretical tool nose.
It sends the M, S, T functions to the PLC.
It does neither move the axes of the machine nor starts the spindle.
The simulation takes into account the dwells programmed with G4.
RAPID
It takes into account tool radius compensation (functions G41, G42) thus showing the graphic
representation of the path for the theoretical tool nose.
It sends the M, S, T functions to the PLC.
It starts the spindle if it has been programmed.
The axes move at maximum feedrate F0 regardless of the F that was programmed and it may be
varied with the feedrate override switch.
