The device (701) has a programmable logic controller (PLC) control device (723) producing control output data. A PLC flow simulation device (725) produces PLC simulation and control input data based on the output data and machine tool data. An overall simulation device (731) produces overall simulation data relating to a flow for machining a workpiece in a machine tool based on computerized numerical control, PLC simulation, machine tool, workpiece and equipment data. A visualizing device (735) visualizing the overall data has a display device (736) for representing the machining flow. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for simulating a flow for machining a workpiece in a machine tool (2) a computer program product including a computer program that is stored in a computer-readable medium to implement a method for simulating a flow for machining a workpiece in a machine tool (3) a method for providing programmable logic controller (PLC) machine tool flow data. |
