5.8 Checking the
NC Program Run
For complex NC programs with branches, variable
calculations, events, etc., you simulate all inputs and
events to test all program branches.
”Debug” drop-down menu:
■ ”Debug – Set start block”
”Debug – Delete start block”
”Debug – View start block”
If a start block is defined, then up to this block the
NC program is compiled and the traverse is not
depicted. The CNC PILOT stops – The continue soft
key resumes the simulation.
■ ”Debug – Variables/Source block”
In the standard setting, the NC source block is
displayed below the simulation window. With
”Variables/source block” you can change between
the display of four ”selected variables” and the NC
source block.
■ ”Debug – Variables display – ...”
■ ”... – All # variables”
The variables are shown in a dialog box.
Use ”arrow up/down” and ”page up/down” to
display the desired variables.
If merely the variable number is displayed, the D
variable is not used.
■ ”... – All V variables”
Select variable groups and define the ”first
variable number” (dialog box ”V display”)
The variables are shown in a dialog box.
Use ”arrow up/down” and ”page up/down” to
display the desired variables.
■ ”... – Set display”
Set variable type and number
The variables are displayed (alternative to the
”NC source block”).
■ ”... – Reset display”
Variable fields remain empty.

The variables and events are simulated.In other words,
the variables used in the Automatic and Manual Control
operating modes are not affected.
