9.6 DATA HANDLED DURING MACHINING SIMULATION
(FOR Series 30i)
During machining simulation (background operation), data is handled
as indicated below.
<1> Parameter The same parameters are used for machining
simulation and automatic operation.
<2> Tool compensation value
Workpiece origin offset value
Extended workpiece origin offset value
Macro variable
Fixture offset data
Data used for machining simulation differs from
data used for automatic operation.
<3> Tool life management data
Tool number offset data
3-dimensional error compensation data
These data items are not used for machining
simulation.
<1> Parameter
The same parameters as used for automatic operation are used for
machining simulation. However, no parameter can be rewritten
in background operation. (If an attempt is made to rewrite a
parameter by programmable parameter input (G10L50), a
warning (NC statement error (B.G.) is output.)
<2> Tool compensation value, workpiece origin offset value,
extended workpiece origin offset value, macro variable, etc.
Data used for background operation differs from data used for
automatic operation. When background operation is started, the
data for automatic operation is copied to produce data for
background operation. Afterwards, the data for background
operation and the data for automatic operation are handled
separately from each other. So, even when data is rewritten using
G10, for example, background operation and automatic operation
do not affect each other. Note, however, that data rewritten in
background operation is erased without being reflected in the
actual data (foreground data).
<3> Tool life management data, tool number offset data,
3-dimensional error compensation data
These data items are not used for background operation. So, if an
attempt is made to rewrite data by using G10, a warning (NC
statement error (B.G.)) is output.
