When the [ANIMA.], [ANIMA + RT.CH], or [RT.CH] key is pressed, the
following simulation screen is displayed:
[SINGLE STEP] : Causes a single–block stop while continuous
simulation is being executed. Or, starts single–
block simulation.
[EXEC] : Starts the ordinary simulation drawing.
[PROCES] : Starts simulating the machining in units of
processes. The output of M01 causes a
single–block stop. (To output M01 at the end of
each process, set bit 4 (M1O) of parameter 9774 to
1.)
[HEAD] : Searches for the beginning of a machining
program and initializes the graphic drawing.
[PROG ON/OFF] : Displays or deletes a converted NC program
during NC program conversion.
[PLOT] : Draws the final product figure over the workpiece
figure.
[SPEED DOWN] : Reduces the drawing speed.
[SPEED UP] : Increases the drawing speed.
The above soft keys are valid only during machining simulation.
Animated drawings showing the actual machining status can also be
displayed during machining (drawing during machining). To do this,
press the GRAPH key to display the screen illustrated above, then start
the machining.
When display of this machining simulation screen was selected from the
main menu screen of the conversational function, press the [
] key to
return to the main menu screen.
