WS 720 A (BN - COM 720 description)

2 Function overview

Area of application Ease of programmimg is very important with today’s machines

and COM 720 provides you with an NC editor. Sets of data can

be conveneintly generated, duplicated and modified.

The COM 720 software offers:

−menu driven Windows operation

−ability to add comments to programs,

−Help screen in case of operator errors,

−info system to offer concise programming tips,

−print out facility for the WS data,

−comments window,

−central data storage,

−ON or OFF line operation,

−SYSDOK 720 (WS720 documentation integrated into

software).

Structure All the data of the WS cards used in a particular SIMATIC S5

system can be grouped together in a machine specific file with

the COM 720 software.

The data structure makes it possible to organise the machine

data, part programs and control configuration. The WS data for

the WS721/WS720 can be stored either on the hard disc of the

PG/PC or on floppy.

COM 720 is also very useful during commissioning, where it can

be used to view status of signals and axis positions.

With the COM 720 software it is possible to see which data files

are present.

Operation The COM 720 software uses the window structure. The user is

guided by messages into the desired window.

Programming An NC editor can be used to enter the part programs.

The editor is not only a means of entering the part programs, but

it also carries out a check to see that the entered values are

within tolerance.

Comments can also be inserted with the part program, as an aid

to understanding the program. Each program block can have a

comment line upto 65 characters in length.

Using COM 720 it is also possible to issue the data for MDI

mode. Teach-in is also possible with the COM 720.

WS 720 A (BN - COM 720 description)

Help system The help system is based on the SYSDOK 720, which is an

integral part of the software. SYSDOK 720 is the Application

Manual of the WS720 not in a book form, but in the software. It

can be called up the screen just like the paper manual can be

opened up.

With few keystrokes you can obtain information relevant to a

given problem, which makes the software very attractive for

newcomers to the WS system. On the one hand there are the

familiar index and contents table of the paper documentation, on

the other there are the electronic search methods for cross

referencing related subjects and other explanations.

There is a key word index to help you in your search. When a

key word is selected, SYSDOK 720 brings up a list of all the

masks which deal with that subject. The selected mask can be

displayed. The work is further facilitated by means of the

electronic book mark and note pad.

SYSDOK 720 is also available as a separate product.
