Overview

Task

The controller can supply the axis positions for the graphic display of machine movements and visualise them by means of a user program or in the graphic user interface.

This can be executed as follows:

• additively to normal controller mode
• or simulatively without real axis movements.

Characteristics

Before start of the NC program, the execution mode must be switched to simulation to activate the simulation.

This is possible via:

• the user interface or
• the PLC interface

Parametrisation

To configure the above modes, a number of different parameters must be assigned.
