All rights reservedSINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D Operator's Guide HMI Advanced (BAD) – 03.04 Edition 6-327Recommended settingsAdditional note1. Changes to the blank dimensions in the infeed axis (min or max)are automatically traced in the depths for color separation (min ormax).2. High values for the interpolator approximation accuracy causeincreased distortion of the geometry representation (e.g. in detailsand rounded sections), but also reduce the amount of graphicsmemory required and increase the speed of the simulation.3. Recommended setting for group "simulation mode": ... in production- Always reload tool "off" and store tool path "off"- Block by block preparation "on" and wait with dwell times"off" ... in program mode (default setting)- Always reload tool "on" and store tool path "on"- Block by block preparation "off" and wait with dwell times"off" .. In training operation- Always reload tool "on" and store tool path "on"- Block by block preparation "off" and wait with dwell times"on"4. The following settings are recommended for demonstrations withendless program loops (accelerated execution of simulation withreduced demands on the graphic memory):- Always reload tool "off" and store toolpath "off"- Block by block preparation "off" and wait for dwell times "off"and additionally:- Blank "without model" (no memory used for graphic!)- Or "without tool data", if representation of thetool center-point path (broken-line graphics) is sufficient.If the blank model is active ("cuboid", "cylinder"), reducedgraphic memory capacity might result, which, depending onthe complexity of the part and model resolution set, couldexhaust the graphic memory.
