2.3.1 General
On a machine tool an NC controls by means of the part program:
• the motion of the tool
• the motion of the workpiece.
Beyond this, further preparations are required with a numerically controlled machine tool before
the actual machining process can be started.
For these preparations, the control has to be set to certain operating states to prepare it for
certain operations.
These include:
• Traversing the tool or the workpiece to the start position required in the setting up plan
• Loading the part programs into the part program memory of the control
• Checking and entering the zero offsets
• Checking and entering the tool offsets.
SINUMERIK 810T offers 7 operating modes enabling you to set the control for the desired
operating states.
2.3.2 Operating modes - overview
The following different operating modes are available:
• Automatic operation (CRT display: AUTOMATIC)
To process a part program in this operat-
ing mode, the control calls the blocks in
sequence and evaluates them. The evalu-
ation takes all offsets into account that
are referenced by the program. The
blocks prepared in this way are proces-
sed in sequence.
The part program can be entered into the
control via the universal interface (e.g. via
punched tape or via the keyboard). While
one part program is being processed, an-
other part program can be entered
simultaneously.
