Simulating machining5.1 OverviewMilling212 Operating Manual, 03/2013, 6FC5398-7CP40-3BA1Properties of simultaneous recording and simulationTraversing pathsFor the simulation, the displayed traversing paths are saved in a ring buffer. If this buffer isfull, then the oldest traversing path is deleted with each new traversing path.Optimum displayIf simultaneous machining is stopped or has been completed, then the display is againconverted into a high-resolution screen. In some cases this is not possible. In this case, thefollowing message is output: "High-resolution image cannot be generated".Working zone limitationNo working zone limits and software limit switches are effective in the tool simulation.Start position for simulation and simultaneous recordingDuring simulation, the start position is converted via the zero offset to the workpiececoordinate system.The simultaneous recording starts at the position at which the machine is currently located.Restrictions● Traori: 5-axis motion is linearly interpolated. More complex motion cannot be displayed.● 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.Supplementary conditions● All of the existing data records (Toolcarrier / TRAORI, TRACYL) are evaluated and mustbe correctly commissioned for correct simulation.● Transformations with swiveled linear axis (TRAORI 64 - 69) as well as OEMtransformations (TRAORI 4096 - 4098) are not supported.● Changes to the toolcarrier or transformation data only become effective after Power On.● Transformation change and swivel data record change are supported. However, a realkinematic change is not supported, where a swivel head is physically changed.● The simulation of mold making programs with extremely short block change times cantake longer than machining, as the computation time distribution for this application isdimensioned in favor of the machining and to the detriment of simulation.
