Siemens TopCNC Suite – PAL-based CNC programming and simulation at the highest level.
The professional CNC simulation software TopCNC Suite, consisting of Topmill (milling) and Topturn (turning), is the perfect solution for practical training and further education in the CNC field. Developed for vocational schools, training centres and industrial companies, it imparts CNC knowledge reliably, efficiently and realistically.
Highlights of the TopTrain add-on module:
- E-learning module for CNC fundamentals (turning and milling) according to PAL guidelines with PAL CNC exam controllers.
- Learning content is supplemented with interactive programming tasks using the cloze test method.
- Entries are immediately evaluated during learning progress checks and can then be corrected.
- TopTrain covers all CNC training content for PAL controls in turning and milling for training in the metalworking professions.
Important features at a glance:
- CNC fundamentals: milling and turning
- Programming, command overview, exercises
- Parameter programming
- Milling with multi-sided machining
- Turning with driven tools and counter spindle
- In-process measurement
- Compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- Bilingual user interface.
The use of the TopTrain e-learning software has two fundamental objectives:
-
To support teachers in providing detailed explanations of all G-codes and machining cycles of the PAL control system.
-
To support trainees in independently completing learning tasks and monitoring their learning progress through exercises.
The chapters in TopTrain are divided into three sections:
- Programming
- Command overview (divided into G codes and machining cycles)
- Overview of exercises
Siemens TopCNC Suite is ideal for:
- Vocational schools and training centres
- In-company CNC training and further education
- Technical colleges, universities, technical schools
- In-house training in metalworking companies
To purchase the software, you must also sign up for 12 months of software maintenance (item no. 105979). After this period expires, you will receive an optional offer to extend the software maintenance.
The delivery does not include software on data carriers; instead, customers receive a download link with a reference to the GTAC download server as part of the delivery.
The range of functions is activated with the corresponding licence key, depending on the order. TopCNC Suite uses the Automation Licence Manager (ALM) to protect against unauthorised copying.
The USB stick and the licence number encryption also indicate whether it is a single licence or a multi-user licence (with the number of PC workstations).
