Directly creates and modifies MCF (Machine Configuration Files) and CCF (Controller Configuration Files).
Develops Common Simulation Engine (CSE) drivers that interpret G-code specifically for a machine's unique CNC rack.
Unlike basic emulators, it uses real controller logic to ensure the simulation exactly matches shop-floor results. 🖥️ System Context & Requirements Machine Configurator - SIEMENS Community 🖥️ System Context & Requirements Machine Configurator -
Using this configurator as part of the Tecnomatix digital manufacturing suite provides several advantages:
Defining how specific G-codes and M-functions trigger movements in the kinematic model. 💡 Business Value Facilitates virtual commissioning
Selecting or creating a CCF file that matches the CNC system (e.g., Sinumerik 840D).
Identifies mechanical interferences and potential collisions in a virtual environment. 🖥️ System Context & Requirements Machine Configurator -
Facilitates virtual commissioning , allowing for testing while physical hardware is still being built or delivered.
