Control Emulator for MCD Simulation and Verification Inside CATIA / DELMIA V5

Integrated within CATIA / DELMIA

The integrated CATIA V5 / DELMIA / CE solution enables NC programmers to graphically simulate and test NC programs for collisions and over-travel before the MCD is implemented in a production environment. This unique "single workbench" capability allows programmers to avoid and correct programming errors that may have resulted in costly machine tool collisions and defective parts.

In addition, CE accommodates an "in-process" or "on-demand" CATIA V5 / DELMIA / CE simulation environment vs. the existing multiple process loop currently offered by independent competitive solutions. Benefits include improvements to NC programmer productivity and manufacturing process efficiency.

Seamlessly Integrated with CAM-POST

ICAM CE is fully integrated with CAM-POST, ICAM’s leading edge NC post-processor developer; therefore, users may employ advanced features inherent to CAM-POST such as Macro Tracing, Call Stack Status, Input and Output Stepping and NC Variable Watching and Modification.

Efficient Post-Processor and Controller Emulator Development

CE may be created from existing post-processors generated by NC manufacturing experts utilizing CAM-POST. In this case, CE is generated at the "Start-Up" or at "Run-Time"; subsequently, all post-processor data modifications are reflected automatically in the CE.

Shortened Learning Curve for CAM-POST Users

CE utilizes the same macro language as CAM-POST for advanced customization features. All defined CODE and DATA registers are shown in two intuitive tables; hence, configuration changes are easily executed to fit specific requirements.

Supports Advanced Controller Specific Syntax

When dealing with advanced controller programming such as variable definition, expression evaluation, branching and looping, the CE interacts with two plugin libraries that recognize special SIEMENS 840D and FANUC Macro B controller features. Users also have the option to develop custom plugin DLL modules to drive the CE to meet specific functions.

Run-Time Flexibility

Any NC command blocks can be manually typed or imported as a text file at “Run-Time” using the CE manual data entry (MDI) input console. This feature enables users to test multiple solutions without the need to change the input MCD file and restart the entire process.
