Simulating machining
6.1 Overview
Turning
198 Operating Manual, 01/2015, 6FC5398-8CP40-5BA2
The current axis coordinates, the override, the current tool with cutting edge, the current
program block, the feedrate and the machining time are displayed.
In all views, a clock is displayed during graphical processing. The machining time is
displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. It is approximately equal to the time that the
program requires for processing including the tool change.
You require the option "3D simulation of the finished part" for the 3D view.
You require the option "Simultaneous recording (real
-time simulation)" for the
"Simultaneous recording" function.
Determining the program runtime
The program runtime is determined when executing the simulation. The program runtime is
temporarily displayed in the editor at the end of the program.
Properties of simultaneous recording and simulation
Traversing paths
For the simulation, the displayed traversing paths are saved in a ring buffer. If this buffer is
full, then the oldest traversing path is deleted with each new traversing path.
If simultaneous machining is stopped or has been completed, then the display is again
converted into a high-resolution screen. In some cases this is not possible. In this case, the
following message is output: "High-resolution image cannot be generated".
No working zone limits and software limit switches are effective in the tool simulation.
Start position for simulation and simultaneous recording
During simulation, the start position is converted via the zero offset to the workpiece
coordinate system.
The simultaneous recording starts at the position at which the machine is currently located.
● Referencing: G74 from a program run does not function.
● Alarm 15110 "REORG block not possible" is not displayed.
● Compile cycles are only partly supported.
● No PLC support.
● Axis containers are not supported.
● Swivel tables with non-swiveling offset vectors are not supported.
