The tool life count can be overridden provided that the life counter is
indicated in units of minutes and LFV (bit 2 of parameter 6801) is 1.
Override values can be specified using the override switch on the
operator’s panel within the range from 0 to 99.9. If 0 is specified, tool life
is not counted. If the count of actual cutting time is less than 4 seconds,
the override value is invalid.
Example
When cutting is performed for 10 minutes with an override of 0.1, the tool
life counter counts one minute.
The symbol * for indicating that the life of a tool has expired can be
displayed either when the machine starts using the next tool or when the
life of the tool actually expires. Either of these methods can be selected
using EMD (bit 3 of parameter 6801).
S Modification of the life expectancy or life counter does not affect the
tool states or tool change signal.
S When the type of the life counter is changed, be sure to change the life
expectancy and life count as well.
