2.2 The CNC PILOT screen
2.2 The CNC PILOT screen
The CNC PILOT shows the data to be displayed in windows. Some
windows only appear when they are needed, for example, for typing
in entries.
In addition, the control shows the type of operation, the soft-key
display and the PLC soft-key display on the screen. Each function
that appears in a field of the soft-key row is activated by pressing the
soft key directly below it.
Operating mode line
The operating mode tabs (at the top of the screen) show the four
operating modes as well as the submodes.
Machine display
The machine display field (beneath the operating mode tabs) is
configurable. It shows all important information on axis positions, feed
rates, rotational speeds, and tool.
Other windows used:
 List and program window
Display of program lists, tool lists, parameter lists, etc. To select
specific elements from the list, simply move the highlight to the
desired element with the arrow keys.
 Menu window
Display of menu symbols. This window only appears on the screen
in the Teach-in and Manual modes.
 Input window/Dialog window
For entering the parameters of a cycle, ICP element, DIN command,
etc. Look over the existing data, then delete or edit them in the
dialog window.
 Graphic support window
Input data (such as cycle parameters, tool data, etc.) are explained
with graphics. The switchover key (the key with three rotating
arrows at the left edge of the screen) allows you to switch between
the help graphics for internal and external machining (only for cycle
programming).
 Simulation window
The simulation window shows a graphic representation of the
contour elements and a simulation of the tool movements. This
enables you to check cycles, entire cycle programs, and DIN
programs.
 ICP contour graphics
Display of the contour during ICP programming.
 DIN editing window
Display of the DIN program during DIN programming.
 Error window
Display of occurred errors and warnings.
