2.3 Operating modes
2.3.1 General
On a machine tool an NC controls
• the motion of the tool
• the motion of the workpiece
by means of the part program.
Beyond this, further preparations are required with numerically controlled machine tool before
the actual machining process can be started.
For these preparations, the control has to be set to certain operating states to prepare it for
certain operations.
These include:
• Traversing the tool or the workpiece to the start position required in the setting up plan
• Loading the part programs into the part program memory of the control
• Checking and entering the zero offsets
• Checking and entering the tool offsets
The SINUMERIK 810M has 7 operating modes for bringing the control into the desired
operating states.
2.3.2 Operating modes - overview
A differentation is made between the following operating modes:
• Automatic operation (CRT Display: AUTOMATIC)
To process a part program in this opera-
ting mode, the control calls the blocks in
sequence and evaluates them. The
evaluation takes all offsets into account.
The blocks prepared in this way are pro-
cessed in sequence.
The part program can be entered into the
control via the universal interface (e.g. via
punched tape) or via the key-board. While
one part program is being processed,
another part program can be entered
simultaneously.
