5.2.3 Simulation options.
The available simulation options are accessed from the icon menu. Pressing the icon
displays a window that shows the following options.
Tool radius compensation
It activates or cancels tool radius compensation to simulate the program.
Tool radius compensation being off, the simulation will ignore the programmed
tool radius compensation.
Conditional stop during simulation
It simulates the external "conditional stop" switch.
While active, the program simulation will be interrupted at the blocks having
a "conditional stop" function "M01". The simulation will resume when pressing
the START icon.
Software and work zone limits.
Activate or deactivate the software limits and the work zones for program
simulation.
• Having this option active, if during simulation the axes reach the software
limits or the work zones, the CNC interrupts simulation and issues the
corresponding error message.
• Having this option deactivated, the CNC will ignore the software limits and
the work zones during simulation. The CNC ignores the option to assume
the active zones in execution.
Block jump
It simulates the external "block skip" switch.
While active, the blocks having the block-skip character "/" will be ignored (not
simulated).
Cancel channel synchronization
There is one icon for each channel. It cancels the channel synchronization
wait periods during simulation.
When active, the wait period will end immediately and it will resume the
execution of the program.
Synchronizing spindles.
There is an icon for each spindle where to indicate the spindle to synchronize
with. The ·0· value cancels the synchronization.
Assume the active origins for execution.
With this option, when starting the simulation or pressing the simulation reset,
the CNC applies to the simulation the origins set in the execution environment
(for example, the part zero set in jog mode).
Assume the active zones in execution.
Assume or not, for simulation, the active zones in execution.
