Creating a program
As you create a new program, you can choose whether it will be a
sequential control program or a G code program (see "Creating a
ShopMill program" or "G code program").
During creation of a sequential control program, ShopMill prompts you
to enter all the relevant parameters. Programming progress is
automatically indicated in a dashed-line diagram. Help screens that
explain the parameters in each operation also support you with
programming.
You can, of course, also insert G code commands in a sequential
control program.
A G code program, however, must be created entirely out of G code
commands.
1.2 Workstation

Milling machine
You can use ShopMill on vertical or universal milling machines with up
to 10 axes (including rotary axes and spindles). Of the 10 axes, 3
linear and 2 rotary axes plus 1 spindle can be displayed at any one
time.
Machining step and G code programs are suitable for 2D to 2½D
machining; for 3D machining, use G code programs from CAD/CAM
systems.
Control
ShopMill runs on the SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D CNC with
PCU 20 and PCU 50.
Operator panel
You communicate with ShopMill via the operator panel.
Machine control panel
You operate the milling machine via the machine control panel.
