12.TOOL FUNCTIONS B-63943EN-1/02
- 1600 -
- G10 format
Addition, modification, and deletion are performed for the tool
management data and cartridge management table from programs.
If a format error is found in the commands from G10 L75/L76/L77 to
G11, or if a value beyond the valid data range is specified, alarm
PS5312 is issued. In such a case, correct the program. Within the
range from G10 to G11, no decimal point can be specified with any
address. If a decimal point is specified, alarm PS0007 results.
- Input to and output from external equipment
Input to and output from external equipment are enabled only on the
ALL IO screen or tool management screen if the I/O unit number is 4,
6, or 7.
Caution
- The total number of pots of all cartridges is normally 64. It can
be expanded to 240 and 1000 optionally.
- When pots are assigned to cartridges, the first cartridge has a top
priority.
Example 1
When the maximum number of pots is 64
Parameter setting Number of available pots
First cartridge 30 30
Second cartridge 20 20
Third cartridge 20 14
Fourth cartridge 20 0
- If the content of one of parameter Nos. 13220, and 13222 to
13251 is rewritten, tool management data numbers of all
cartridges are initialized to 0. This prevents conflict between
tool management data and the cartridge management table.
Example 2
If parameter No. 13220 is set to 30 when tool management data
number 60 is set for pot number 1 of cartridge 1, nonexistent tool data
is regarded as being held in the pot.
- When data is edited, its tool management data number blinks,
and it is excluded from the data to be searched for the next tool.
In this case, you cannot modify the data by using the PMC or
FOCAS1. This condition is maintained until the edit mode
ends.
- When a name is set for customize data or the tool life status by
using G10, a change to the set name is not made until the display
screen is changed to another NC screen.
