The data can be selected in any combination. The channels are selected using softkeys (if
there is more than one channel for simulation); the current channel of the simulation is
offered as default. Channel-specific data are only offered if the selected channel is present
on the NCK. The selected data are copied into corresponding files in the data management
system under \DP.DIR\SIM.DIR using the "OK" softkey and loaded into the simulation.
Existing files are overwritten without prompting.
If data are selected for all channels, any associated channel-specific files that are present
are deleted; channel-specific files are always created or overwritten.
Before the data are loaded into the simulation, a "channel reset" is performed for the
simulation.
If an error occurs when copying from the NCK, the transfer can be repeated or aborted
(dialog box: Abort/Repeat). If an error occurs when loading into the simulation or a simulation
alarm is triggered, the transfer is aborted.
Pressing the "OK" softkey saves the current data selection and displays it again the next
time the dialog box is opened.
Match tools
The NC tool data for all channels are copied into the TO_INI.INI file and then activated in the
simulation. Existing tools are removed beforehand. The function is offered automatically
whenever simulation is selected if tool data in the NC have changed.
Match machine data
All definition files (UMAC.DEF, SMAC.DEF, MMAC.DEF, UGUD.DEF, SGUD.DEF,
MGUD.DEF, GUD4.DEF – GUD9.DEF) that are active in the NC are copied to the
corresponding files in the HMI. Files that are not active in the NCK are deleted from the HMI.
All files (CH(c)_xxx.INI, AX_SEA.INI, NC_xxx.INI) are deleted with the exception of the tool
data.
The machine data from the INITIAL.INI file are interpreted by the simulation. We recommend
to set the following machine data:
MD 11210: UPLOAD_MD_CHANGES_ONLY = 0
Match cycles
Cycle changes are not monitored by the simulation.
They are either copied automatically into the simulation as required (PRELOAD/CYCLES=0)
or copied in their entirety into the simulation when the simulation boots.
