General information on the program test
Purpose
Several control functions are available for testing a new part program. These functions are
provided to reduce danger at the machine and time required for the test phase. It is possible
to activate several program test functions simultaneously.
The following test options are described here:
●
Program processing without axis movements
●
Program processing in singleblock mode
●
Program processing with dry run feedrate
●
Processing of certain program sections
●
Skipping certain program parts
●
Graphic simulation
10.4.2
Program processing without axis movements (PRT)
Functionality
The part program can be started and processed with active "Program test" function via the IS
"NC Start" (V3200 0007.1), i.e. with auxiliary function outputs, dwell times. Only the
axes/spindles are simulated. The software limit switch safety function continues to be valid.
The position control is not interrupted, so the axes do not have to be referenced when the
function is switched off.
The user can check the programmed axis positions and auxiliary function outputs of a part
program.
Note
Program processing without axis motion can also be activated with the function "Dry run
feedrate".
