D Tool life notice signal
When the rest of the tool life (remainder value) until a new tool is
selected is set as a value common to all groups, a signal is output to
the PMC when the value obtained by the subtraction (the life value
(LIFE) minus the counter value (COUNT)) has reached the set
remainder value.
With tool life management B, the features of the conventional tool life
management function have been expanded as follows:
D Expanded life value
In the conventional tool life management function, the maximum life
count and time were 65535 times and 4300 minutes, respectively.
When the tool life management B option is used, the maximum life
count and time can be extended to 999999 and 100000 minutes,
respectively.
D Support of setting of arbitrary tool group numbers
In the conventional tool life management function, the T code to
specify a target group for tool life management was the tool life
management ignore number plus group number. In tool life
management B, use of the function for setting arbitrary tool group
numbers (bit 5 of parameter No. 6802) allows an arbitrary T code to
be used to specify a group.
D Tool life notice signal expansion
In the conventional tool life management function, the tool life notice
signal was able to be used to set the rest of the tool life until the
selection of a new tool only as a value common to all groups. With
tool life management B, this value can be set for each group.
