• When the parameter No.13220, 13222-13251 is rewritten, the tool
management data number of all magazines is initialized by 0. The
purpose of this is to prevent contradiction being caused in the
correspondence of the tool management data and the magazine
management table.
example)When the tool management data number 60 is set to the pot
number 1 of the first magazine, if the value of parameter 13220 is
changed to the value 30, the tool management data number 60
which stored in the pot doesn’t exist.
• When the data is edited, the tool management data number blinks. This
data is removed from the search object of the next tool. And, in this
time, this data can't be edited through the window of PMC and
FOCAS1. This state continues until the end of tool management data
edit mode.
• When the names of the customizing data and the tool life state data are
set by using G10, please switching to other NC screens once. The
change of the name setting doesn’t become effective until this
operation is done.
