Simulation DLL for CNC kernel

The ISG CNC kernel is integrated into a real-time environment for a standard CNC to arrive at real time-enable, deterministic behaviour.

However, the real-time environment is not required for many applications in the environment of a CNC controller such as:

• production time calculation,
• advance collision checking or
• a visualisation.

The kernelv CNC simulation DLL provides users with an opportunity to use a virtual CNC within their own non-real time application.

With regard to existing functionality, the simulation DLL largely offers the same possibilities as the real-time kernel.

Known restrictions:

• No access to hardware.
• The CNC treats axes as simulation axes.
• A PLC cannot be used and the API interfaces use the HLI to command the CNC kernel.
• No real time necessary or possible.
