1.3 Programming cycles
Example
CYCLE100 ("F", 3, 0.3, , 1)
CYCLE100 ("F", 3, 0.3)
5. Expressions in the parameter list
Expressions, the result of which is assigned to the
corresponding parameter in the cycle are also
permitted in the parameter list.
Example
DEF REAL MID=7, FFR=200
CYCLE100 ("E", MID*0.5, FFR+100,1)

1.3.4 Simulation of cycles

Programs with cycle calls can be tested initially by
the simulation function.
Function
In configurations with an MMC 100.2, the program is
executed normally in the NC and the traversing motion
is recorded on the screen during the simulation run.
In configurations with an MMC 103, the program is
simulated solely in the MMC. For this reason, it is
possible to execute cycles without tool data or without
prior selection of a tool offset in the MMC with SW 4.4
and higher.
The finished contour is then traversed in the case of
cycles which have to include tool offset data in the
calculation of their traversing motion (e.g. milling
pockets and grooves, turning with recess) and a
message is output that simulation without tool is active.
This function can be used, for example, to check the
position of the pocket.
