MANUAL
Refer to " FANUC CNC Simulator for PC OPERATOR'S MANUAL"
appended to installation CD for the operation and setting of CNC
simulator.
1.1 FEATURES OF PMC SIMULATOR
1.1.1 Features
PMC simulator is the software that executes the ladder program on the
PC and enables to debug the ladder without CNC.
About the form of the PMC simulator
There are three kinds of operation modes in PMC simulator.
1. PMC simulator(30i/31i/32i-A PMC)
2. PMC simulator(PMC-SB7)
3. Coordinated CNC/PMC simulator mode (30i/31i/32i-A
PMC)
The following are possible in the PMC simulator mode(1. and 2.).
• Executeing the ladder on the PC.
• Debugging the ladder without using CNC.
• Changing the I/O signals by the mouse operation.
• Debugging the ladder that cooperates with FANUC LADDER-III
Edit, load, and store the ladder
Monitor display in ladder diagram and state of signal
Editing the ladder
