Drive simulation

The NC controller supports the “Simulation” drive type (P-AXIS-00020), i.e. any axis can be simulated, for example if there is no physical drive (±10V, stepper motor, etc.) present at the time of machine commissioning or if the controller is to be tested completely without physical drives.

Homing can also be selected for this drive type. Referencing these axes is simulated and this can be set in the axis parameter list by corresponding parameters. The parameter P-AXIS-00822 specifying the distance to detect the fixed stop is required for homing to fixed stop.
