magazine at this location. The magazine location to be loaded is

moved to the loading point. For example, chain magazines have

loading points.

• Loading station

A loading station is a location outside the magazine onto which the

tool to be loaded is placed. The tool is then transported from that

location to the magazine via a transport mechanism. Loading sta-

tions are generally used for box or chain magazines.

Index

The index counts the locations of a type.

$MN_TOOL_UNLOAD_MASK

Meaning:

When the tool is unloaded, some tool data can be assigned fixed values:

Bit 0 = 0: Tool status "active" remains unchanged

Bit 0 = 1: Tool status "active" is deleted ($TC_TP8, bit 0)

Bit 1 = 0: Tool status "was in use" remains unchanged

Bit 1 = 1: Tool status "was in use" is deleted ($TC_TP8, bit 7)

Bit 2 = 0: Tool parameter $TC_TP10 remains unchanged

Bit 2 = 1: Tool parameter $TC_TP10 is set to value 0. This means the tool replacement strategy

is reset.

Bit 3 = 0: Tool parameter $TC_TP11 remains unchanged

Bit 3 = 1: Tool parameter $TC_TP11 is set to value 0. This means the assignment to the tool

subgroup is canceled.

If a multitool is unloaded, then also the tools contained in it corresponding to MD

$MN_TOOL_UNLOAD_MASK are unloaded from the magazine location and therefore the tools

states are also changed according to the specifications of the MD. When unloading the MT, the

tools remain in the MT.

Data defined in the MD, which is also defined for the MT - that is previously the MT state

$TC_MTP8, bit 7 "was in use" - is also changed for the unloaded MT.

Meaning:

The RESETMON command specifies in the 5th parameter which tool status is to be reset. If the

5th parameter is omitted, it is replaced with the value from this MD. This value is always used

with PI service "_N_TRESMON".

The bits are assigned like the bits in tool status $TC_TP8[x].

Bit 0 = 0: Tool status "active" remains unchanged

Bit 0 = 1: Tool status "active" is deleted

Bit 1 = 0: Tool status "enabled" remains unchanged

Bit 1 = 1: Tool status "enabled" is set

Bit 2 = 0: Tool status "disabled" remains unchanged

Bit 2 = 1: Tool status "disabled" is deleted if permitted by the monitoring data and the 4th

parameter is set accordingly.

Bit 3 = 0: Tool status "measured" remains unchanged

Bit 3 = 1: Tool status "measured" is set.

Bit 4 = 0: Tool status "prewarning limit" remains unchanged

Bit 4 = 1: Tool status "prewarning limit" is deleted if permitted by the monitoring data and the

4th parameter is set.

Bit 5: Not permitted (tool status "tool being changed")

Bit 6: Not permitted (tool status "tool is fixed-location-coded")

Bit 7 = 0: Tool status "was in use" remains unchanged

Bit 7 = 1: Tool status "was in use" is deleted

Bit 8 = 0 not permitted (tool status "being transported back")

Bit 9: Not permitted

Bit 10 = 0: Tool status "to unload" remains unchanged

Bit 10 = 1: Tool status "to unload" is deleted

Bit 11: Not permitted (tool status "to load")

Bit 12 = 0: Not permitted (tool status "master tool")

Bit 13: Not permitted

Bit 14: 1:1 exchange (not permitted)

Bit 15: Manual tool (not permitted)

Bit 16: Tool is at a disabled magazine location (not permitted)

The default setting corresponds to behavior up to now.

The bits that are not permitted are filtered and hidden by the limit screen.

$MN_TOOL_DEFAULT_DATA_MASK

Meaning:

When a tool is redefined, some tool data can be assigned fixed default values. This way simple

applications do not need to process data which does not necessarily need to be assigned indi-

vidual values.

Bit 0 = 0: Default value of tool status ($TC_TP8), Bit1=0="not enabled"

Bit 0 = 1: Default value of tool status ($TC_TP8), Bit1=1="enabled"

Bit 1 = 0: Default value of tool status ($TC_TP8), bit 6=0="not fixed-location-coded"

Bit 1 = 1: Default value of tool status ($TC_TP8), bit 6=1="fixed-location-coded"

Bit 2 = 0: The tool is only included in the tool group with the explicit write command for the tool

name. Only then can it be loaded at change using the appropriate programming.

Bit 2 = 1 The tool is automatically included in the tool group when redefined. (Now the tool

change can be performed with the default name ("t"=t no.))

The "tool name" ($TC_TP2) can be hidden to the user. (This only makes sense if replacement

tools are not being used for machining or if the tool name is not explicitly written. Then, data

inconsistency problems could occur.)

Bit 3 = 0: Only with TMMG: Default value of location type ($TC_TP7)=9999=not defined

Bit 3 = 1: Significance, only with TMMG: Default value of location type ($TC_TP7)=1 and asso-

ciated default values of magazine location type (TC_MPP2)=1. All magazine locations can now

accept all tools.

Bit 4 = 0: Only significant with TMMG + active adjacent location consideration: When setting/

resetting the magazine location status "disabled", the magazine location status "overlapping

permitted" remains unchanged.

Bit 4 = 1: Only significant with TMMG + active adjacent location consideration: When setting/

resetting the magazine location status "disabled", the magazine location status "overlapping

permitted" is also automatically set/reset.

If a multitool is generated, then the data defined by MD $MN_TOOL_DEFAULT_DATA_MASK and

for the MT are set to the required values.

$MN_TOOL_DATA_CHANGE_COUNTER

Meaning:

HMI display support. This data allows explicit inclusion/exclusion of individual data in the OPI

variables (block C/S) toolCounter, toolCounterC, toolCounterM to be taken into account.

Bit 0 = 0: Value changes to tool status ($TC_TP8) are not taken into account in toolCounterC.

Bit 0 = 1: Value changes to the tool status ($TC_TP8) are taken into account in toolCounterC.

Bit 1 = 0: Value changes to remaining tool count ($TC_MOP4) are not taken into account in

toolCounterC.

Bit 1 = 1: Value changes to the remaining tool count ($TC_MOP4) are taken into account in

toolCounterC.

Bit 2 = 0: Value changes to the tool data is not taken into account in the tool data update service.

Bit 2 = 1: Value changes to the tool data is taken into account in the tool data update service.

Bit 3 = 0: Value changes to the magazine data is not taken into account in the tool data update

service.

Bit 3 = 1: Value changes to the magazine data is taken into account in the tool data update

service.

Bit 4 = 0: Value changes to the ISO tool offset data are not taken into account in the tool data

update service.

Bit 4 = 1: H10' Value changes to the ISO tool offset data are taken into account in the tool data

update service.

"Value changes to tool status" and "Value changes to remaining tool count" are relative to the

value changes which are caused by internal processes in the NC, as well as to value changes

caused by writing the respective system variables.

Meaning:

Definition of tool types (see $TC_DP1) permitted in the NC for tool offset selection. This means

tools of any tool type can be loaded to the NC, however, only the tool types specified here can be

defined in the tool determining the offset. A bit value = 1 means that the specified tool type

range is permitted for the offset selection. A bit value = 0 means that the specified tool type

range is not permitted for the offset selection. When an attempt is made to select an offset for

a cutting edge of this type, the selection is rejected and an offset-capable alarm is issued. Value

= 0, 9999 for the tool type means "not defined". In general, it is not possible to select tool

offsets with this value for the tool type.

Bit 0 = 0x1: Tool types 1 to 99 permitted

Bit 1 = 0x2: Tool types 100 to 199 permitted (milling tools)

Max. number of tool holders per TOA

Default setting: 16

Min. input limit: 1

Max. input limit: 128

Change becomes effective after: POWER ON

Protection level: 2/7

Unit: -

Data type: DWORD

Meaning:

Maximum number of definable tool holders per TO area.

The maximum value is 20. The number 20 is derived from the maximum number of axes per

channel in the 840D sl.

The address extension e of the commands Te=T, Me=6 (*) is the number of the tool holder.

t=T number / tool name - depending on the function, which is activated in the NC.

(*) if the following applies: $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_MODE=1 and

$MC_TOOL_CHANGE_M_CODE=6

In milling machines, the tool holder is generally not a spindle, see also $MC_SPIND_DEF_MAS-

TER_SPIND.

In turning machines, the tool holder is generally not a spindle axis, see also $MC_TOOL_MAN-

AGEMENT_TOOLHOLDER.

Then the following should apply $MN_MM_NUM_TOOLHOLDERS greater or equal to

$MC_SPIND_DEF_MASTER_SPIND/$MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_TOOLHOLDER.

If bit 0 = 1 in $MN_MM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK and $MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK is

set (= magazine management (TMMG)) is only applicable for sensible values

$MN_MM_NUM_TOOLHOLDERS less than or equal to $MN_MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE.

Then, a maximum of $MN_MM_NUM_TOOLHOLDERS buffer locations, type spindle

($TC_MPP1[9998,x]=2) can be defined.

Example: TMMG not active

Assuming $MC_SPIND_DEF_MASTER_SPIND=3, $MN_MM_NUM_TOOLHOLDERS = 3.

Then T1=t, T2=t, T3=t, T=t can be programmed.

Example: TMMG active, milling machine with Me=6 as tool change command

Assuming $MN_MM_NUM_TOOLHOLDERS=14, $MN_MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE=20,

10 channels are active, all channels have TMMG active and have the same tool and machine data

(=one TO area for all channels). $MC_SPIND_DEF_MASTER_SPIND=1,

,10 for the channels.

Then, in the magazine buffer, up to 14 locations, type "tool holder"/"spindle" can be defined.

In addition, 6 other grippers or similar can be defined.

These locations (a maximum of 20) can be linked to magazines.

T1=t,

T14=t and Tt or M1=6,

M14=6 and M06 can be programmed in the channels

The PLC version used can limit the maximum number of tool holders.

$MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE

Meaning:

The machine data makes sense if the magazine management function TMMG is active - see

$MN_MM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK, $MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK; in each case bit 0

= 1.

Maximum number of magazine locations (spindles, loading locations, etc.) per TOA, that can

have a distance connection to a magazine defined using $TC_MDPx[n,m].

Example: TMMG is active: $MN_MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE is = 5 and

$MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC = 2.

Two TOA units are defined each with three tool holders / spindles, two loading points.

Further, there are two grippers defined in each TO unit.

This means that in total there are 14 locations defined in the buffer magazine / loading magazine

for which distances and assignments should be defined. TO unit 1 has 4 magazines defined, TO

unit 2 has 6 magazines defined.

With the set value of $MN_MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE = 5, each tool holder and each

loading point can be linked; (see $TC_MDP1 and $TC_MDP2) and up to two grippers can be

additionally assigned to each tool holder ($MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC = 2); (see

$TC_MLSR).

As a consequence, a tool holder / a spindle location can have two tables - a distance table to

magazines and an assignment table to grippers and similar locations.

Two quantities are defined with the data:

1.) Max. number of magazines in the distance table of a magazine location (spindle, loading

location, etc.)

2.) Maximum number of locations (gripper, ...) in the connection table of a spindle / tool holder.

Example: $MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC = 3.

Two TOA units are defined each with two tool holders / spindles and one loading point each.

Further, four grippers are defined in each TO unit.

TO unit 1 has 4 magazines defined, TO unit 2 has 6 magazines defined.

Then, each tool holder can define up to three distances to the magazines (see $TC_MDP2) and

in addition, can define up to three relationships to grippers ($TC_MLSR).

The monitoring of the D number assignment associated with this value is only effective for new

definitions of D numbers. This means the existing data records are not checked later - if the MD

is changed.

Advisable setting:

$MN_MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO equal to $MN_MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_PER_TOOL. If

$MN_MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO > $MN_MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_PER_TOOL is set, you

should familiarize yourself with the difference between offset number D and the tool edge

number CE.

See also language commands CHKDNO, CHKDM, GETDNO, SETDNO, DZERO.

The MD can change the memory requirements:

A change from "less than equal to" to "greater than" - or vice versa - in the values of both the

above mentioned MDs can influence the demand for non-buffered memory.

Data type: DWORD

Meaning:

Maximum number of cutting edges (D offset) per tool (per T number)

This allows greater security with the data definition. A value of 1 can be set if only tools with one

cutting edge are to be used. This will avoid the problem of assigning more than one cutting edge

to the tool when data is defined.

Logically the same value is set for MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO as for MM_MAX_CUT-

TING_EDGE_PER_TOOL. If MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO is set greater than MM_MAX_CUT-

TING_EDGE_PER_TOOL, you should familiarize yourself with the difference between offset

number D and the tool edge number CE.

A value > 0 and < "Number of cutting edges * number of additive offsets per cutting edge"

means that per cutting edge, a maximum "Number of additive offsets per cutting edge" additive

offsets can - but does not need to - be defined, i.e. this provides an option of using the buffered

memory sparingly. Only the cutting edges defined for the explicit data have a additive offset

data record.

transformed.

Bit 3=1: "Additive offsets fine"/setup offsets are not transformed.

Bit 4=0: No setting up offset data records.

Changing the states of bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 does not alter the memory configuration. Changing the

status of bit 4 causes the buffered memory to be reconfigured with the next POWER ON.

Meaning:

This MD is only of significance when tool management is active.

Tool management must know on which tool holder the tool is to be loaded. The data is only

evaluated if the value is greater than zero.

Then, $TC_MPP5 numbers are no longer seen as "spindle numbers", but as tool holder number.

The automatic address extension of T and of M06 is then the value for this MD and no longer the

value of $MC_SPIND_DEF_MASTER_SPIND. The MD is used to define the master tool holder

number to which a tool preparation or a tool change refers.

When determining the tool on the tool holder for the setting "keep old offset" of MD $MC_RE-

SET_MODE_MASK, then reference is also made to this value.

If a machine has several tool holders, but no specific master spindle, then the MD serves as a

default value to determine the tool holder to which the tool should be loaded at a tool change

(reset, start, T="identifier", M06). When defining the magazine locations of internal magazines,

locations, type "spindle" - $TC_MPP1=2=spindle-location - are assigned a "location type index"

($TC_MPP5). This allocates a specific tool holder to the location.

The tool holder with number n can be declared the master tool holder using the language

command SETMTH(n). This means that the offsets of a tool that is loaded to a buffer location,

type "SPINDLE" and with the value $TC_MPP5=n, correct the tool path.

Tool management change to "SPINDLE" locations with $TC_MPP5 not equal to the number of the

master tool holder have no effect on the path.

The command SETMTH is used to declare the tool holder defined in the MD as the master tool

holder again.

It determines whether, after a block search with calculation of the tool change command, tool

preparation commands (general tool change commands) are output to the PLC or not.

1: Tool change commands and tool preparation commands are collected and output to the PLC

when the program starts after the search target has been reached

0: All tool/magazine-specific commands, which were collected in the block search, are not

output to the PLC with the subsequent program start! This means that also programmed POSM,

TCI, TCA commands are also not output.

Comment 1:

Without active magazine management the tool change M code is not collected if it is not

assigned to any auxiliary function group. With active magazine management, the machine data

value corresponds to =0

Comment 2:

The value =0 is, e.g. practical, if, after reaching the search target, the collected tool change

commands are output to the PLC in an ASUP program using the commands GETSELT, GETEXTET.

$MC_GCODE_RESET_MODE[n]

Meaning:

This MD is only evaluated if bit 0 is set in $MC_RESET_MODE_MASK.

This MD is used to define for each entry in MD $MN_GCODE_RESET_VALUES (i.e. for each G

group), whether a setting according to the $MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES is undertaken again for

a reset/part program end (MD=0) or whether the current setting is retained (MD=1).

Example:

The normal position of the 6th G group (current level) is read from the machine data

$MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES for each reset / part program end here:

$MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES[5]=1; reset value of 6th G group is M17

$MC_GCODE_RESET_MODE[5]=0; initial state for the 6th G group after

;reset/part program end according to

;$MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES[5]

However, if the current setting of the 6th G group (current level) is to be retained beyond reset /

part program end, the following setting is required:

$MC_GCODE_RESET_VALUES[5]=1; reset value of 6th G group is M17

$MC_GCODE_RESET_MODE[5]=1; current setting for the 6th G group

; is also kept after reset/part program end

5.2 Channel-specific machine data

20310

$MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK

Bits 5 to 8

Bit 5 and bit 7 refer to the main spindle

Bit 6 and bit 8 refer to the secondary spindles

Bit 5 = 1: The command output is considered completed if the internal transport acknowledge-

ment + the transport acknowledgement are present, i.e. if the command was received by the

basic PLC program.

Bit 19=1 additionally allows the block change to be prevented (main run) until the required

acknowledgements are received.

Bit 7 = 1: The command output is not considered completed until the end acknowledgement

from the PLC is received, i.e. the command was acknowledged by the PLC user program with

status "1".

Bit 19=1 additionally allows the block change to be prevented (main run) until the required

acknowledgements are received.

Bit 5 and bit 7 (alternatively bit 6 and bit 8) are mutually exclusive!

Only the following combinations are permitted:

Bit 5: …0…1…0

Bit 7: …0…0…1

With the default setting, i.e. bit 5 to 8 = 0, synchronization is performed in the block in which

a cutting edge was first selected.

Setting these bits delays block processing.

Meaning:

Bit 9: Reserved for test purposes

(no command output to the PLC)

can also be used by the machine manufacturer in the test phase, as long as the PLC program

does not yet change tools

Meaning:

Bit 10=1: M06 is delayed until the preparation is taken over by the PLC user program.

The change command is only output when the preparation acknowledgement is received. This

can be, for example status "1" or "105".

Bit 10=0: The change command is output without delay, immediately after the preparation

command.

Meaning:

Bit 11=1: The tool preparation command (PLC command numbers = 2, 4, 5) is carried out even

if the same tool preparation command has taken place! (Commands 4, 5 contain the tool

preparation)

Example: (tool change takes place with M06 (PLC command number=3):

T="Tool1"; Tool preparation

M06; tool change

T="Tool2"; 1st tool preparation after M6 (for the same toolholder)

; is always output to PLC

T="TOOL2"; 2nd tool preparation, is only output as command to PLC if bit 11 = 1

; This tool preparation counts as the first one if the status of the tool has changed since the

previous tool preparation such that it can no longer be used.

A possible reason for this would be, e.g. asynchronous unloading of a tool. This tool preparation

then attempts to select a replacement tool.

Bit 11=0: The preparation command can be output only once for each tool.

$MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK

Meaning:

Bit 12=1: The tool preparation command (PLC command numbers = 2, 4, 5) is carried out even

if the tool is already positioned in the spindle /tool holder.

T="Tool1"; Tool preparation

M06; tool change

T="Tool1"; Tool is already placed on the tool holder

; 1st Tool preparation after M06 (for the same toolholder)

; is only output to PLC if bit 12 = 1

; A tool that cannot be used (e.g. disabled due to tool monitoring) on the tool holder does not

count as if placed on the tool holder. This tool preparation then attempts to select a replacement

tool.

T="TOOL2"; 2nd tool preparation - the following rules applies for bit 11 for output

Bit 12=0: The preparation command is not executed if the tool is already positioned in the

spindle.

Bit 13=1: Trace

For reset, the command output of the NC and the acknowledgements of the PLC are saved in a

trace file (TCTRAxx.mpf, xx=channel no.).

Corresponds with $MN_MM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_TRACE_SZ..

Bit 14=1: Reset mode

Tool and offset selection according to the settings in MD $MC_RESET_MODE_MASK and

$MC_START_MODE_MASK.

Bit 14=0: No reset mode

Meaning:

Bit 15=1: The tool is not returned if several preparation commands have been issued (Tx->Tx).

Bit 15=0: Tool is returned from possibly defined buffers.

Bit 16=0: T = "Tool name" (identifier only)

Bit 16=1: T = Location number (identifier or location number)

Bit 17=1: Tool life monitoring is controlled by the PLC (DB21.DBX1.3).

Bit 18=1: Activation of monitoring "last tool of tool group"

Bit 18 extends the search for a suitable tool, especially if there are many disabled replacement

tools.

Bit 18=0: No monitoring for "Last tool in tool group"

Bit 19=1: The synchronizations defined by bits 5...8 are relative to the main run block, i.e. there

is no block change until the required acknowledgements are received

Bit 19 in conjunction with bits 5, 6, 7, 8 set delays the block processing.

Bit 19=0: The synchronizations defined by bits 5...8 are relative to the tool management com-

mand output, i.e. there is no block change delay

Meaning:

Bit 20=0: The commands generated on PLC signal "program testing active" are not output to the

PLC. NC acknowledges the commands automatically. Magazine and tool data is not changed.

Bit 20=1: The commands generated for PLC signal "program testing active" are output to the

PLC. Depending on the type of acknowledgement, tool/magazine data can be changed in the

NC. If the acknowledgement parameters for the "target magazine" are set to the same values as

the "source magazine", the tool is not transported and thus no data modified in the NC.

Bit 21=0: Default setting: Ignore the tool status "W" at tool selection

Bit 21=1: Tools with status "W" cannot be selected by another tool change, tool preparation

command, or tool transport (e.g. MVTOOL).

Bit 22=1: "Tool subgroups" function

$TC_TP11[x] is the grouping or selection parameter

5.2 Channel-specific machine data

20310

$MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK

Bit 23=0: Default setting

The tool management optimally and reliably selects the tool in the main run, i.e. the Interpreter

may have to wait for the end of the tool selection for offset selection.

Bit 23=1: For basic applications

The Interpreter selects the tool itself, i.e. no synchronization is required with the main run for

offset selection. (If the tool becomes no longer useable after selection, but before loading, an

uncorrectable alarm may result.)

Note: If this bit is set, the PLC may not reject tools!

Bit 24=0: Default setting

If the PLC commands 8 and 9 (asynchronous transfer) want to move a tool to a location that is

reserved for another tool, this is rejected and an alarm is issued.

Bit 24=1: If the PLC commands 8 and 9 are to move a tool to a location that is reserved for

another tool with "Reserved for tool from buffer" (bit values="H4"), this is possible. This location

reservation is then removed before the movement is executed ("Reserved for new tool to be

loaded" (bit value="H8") remains effective).

Data type: BYTE

Meaning:

A tool is selected in the program with the T function. The setting in this machine data deter-

mines whether the new tool is loaded immediately on execution of the T function:

MD: TOOL_CHANGE_MODE = 0

The new tool data becomes effective directly when T or D is programmed.

This setting is used mainly for turning machines with tool turret.

If there is no D programmed in the block with T, the tool offset which is defined in $MC_CUT-

TING_EDGE_DEFAULT becomes effective.

MD: TOOL_CHANGE_MODE = 1

The new tool is prepared for changing with the T function. This setting is used mainly on milling

machines with a tool magazine, in order to bring the new tool into the tool change position

without interrupting the machining process. With the M function set in MD 22560:

TOOL_CHANGE_MODE, the old tool is removed from the spindle and the new tool is loaded into

the spindle. According to DIN 66025, this tool change must be programmed with the M function

M06.

Meaning:

If the T function is used only to prepare a new tool for a tool change (this setting is used mainly

position without interrupting the machining process), the tool change must be initiated with an

additional M function. The M function entered in TOOL_CHANGE_M_CODE initiates the tool

change (remove old tool from the spindle and load the new tool in the spindle).

This tool change is required to be programmed with M function M06, in accordance with

DIN66025.

$MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE

Meaning:

Behavior in the case that faults/problems occur for a programmed tool change.

Bit 0=0: Standard behavior: Stop on faulty NC block

Bit 0=1: If the error occurs in the block containing the tool change preparation command, the

alarm activated by the preparation command (T) is delayed until the program run reaches the

point at which the associated tool change command (M06) is interpreted. Only then is the alarm

output that is triggered by the preparation command. The operator can make corrections in this

block. When execution of the program is continued, the faulty NC block is interpreted again and

the preparatory command is internally executed again automatically.

The value = 1 is only of significance if the setting MD22550 TOOL_CHANGE_MODE = 1 is used.

Bit 1 is only meaningful if magazine management is active.

Bit 1=0: Standard behavior: During the tool-change preparation only those tools are recognized

whose data is assigned to a magazine.

Bit 1=1: Manual tools can be loaded at change.

A tool will also be loaded at change if its data is registered in the NC, but not assigned to a

magazine. In this case, the tool data is automatically assigned to the programmed tool holder.

The user is prompted to place tools into the tool holder or remove tools from it.

Bit 2 Qualifying the offset programming

Bit 2=0: Active D no. > 0 and active D no.=0 results in offset 0

Active D no. > 0 and active D no.=0 result in additive offset 0

Bit 2=1: Active D no. > 0 and active D no.=0 generates an alarm message

Active D no. > 0 and active D no.=0 generates an alarm message

Bits 3 and 4 are only meaningful if tool management is active.

Function:

Control of the behavior of the Init block generation at program start if disabled tool is positioned

on the spindle and needs to be activated.

For further details, see: MD 20112: START_MODE_MASK, MD 20110: RESET_MODE_MASK

At RESET the behavior of "keep disabled tool on spindle active" is not affected by this.

Bit 3=0: Default: If the tool on the spindle is disabled: Generate a tool-change command that

requests a replacement tool. If there is no replacement, then an alarm is produced.

Bit 3=1: The status of the disabled spindle tool is ignored (exception: tools that are not released).

The tool is active. The following part program should be formulated such that no parts are

machined with the disabled tool.

Bit 4=0: Default: An attempt is made to activate the spindle tool or the replacement tool

Bit 4=1: If the tool on the spindle is disabled, T0 is programmed in the start init block.

The following statements are made for the combination of bit 3 and bit 4:

0 / 0: Behavior as before, automatic change at NC start if a disabled tool is in the spindle.

1 / 0: This is not always changed automatically

0 / 1: A T0 is automatically generated for a disabled tool in the spindle at NC Start

a) T0; to deselect tool

b) D0; for offset deselection

generates an alarm, if

a) At least one of MD $MC_CUTTING_EDGE_DEFAULT, $MC_SUMCORR_DEFAULT is not equal to

zero (T0 D0 DL=0 is the correct programming).

b) The MD $MC_SUMCORR_DEFAULT is not equal to zero (D0 DL=0 is the correct programming).

Bit 6=1: Controls the NC behavior with programming of (x, y, z all greater than zero), if at least

one of MD $MC_CUTTING_EDGE_DEFAULT, $MC_SUMCORR_DEFAULT is not equal to zero.

a) Tx Dy -> T0

with T0 - D0 or D0 DL=0 is automatically programmed in the NC; i.e. values not equal to zero for

MD $MC_CUTTING_EDGE_DEFAULT, $MC_SUMCORR_DEFAULT are processed as if the value

were equal to zero.

b) Tx Dy >T0 Dy, or T0 DL =z, or T0 Dy DL=z, or T0 D0 DL=z explicitly programmed values of D,

DL are not influenced.

c) Dy DL=z -> D0

with D0 - DL=0 is automatically programmed in the NC; i.e. values not equal to zero for MD

$MC_SUMCORR_DEFAULT are processed as if the value were equal to zero.

d) Dy DL=z -> D0 DL=z

explicitly programmed values of DL are not influenced.

If in addition bit 2 is also set:

only T0/D0 have to be programmed for tool/offset deselection and therefore no alarm is output.

The statements regarding $MC_SUMCORR_DEFAULT or DL are only valid if the additive offset

function is active (see $MN_MM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK, bit 8).

$MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE

Bit 7=0: Programming Tx checks whether a tool with the T number x is known in the TO unit of

the channel. If it is not, processing stops in this block and alarm 17190 is issued.

Bit 7=1: Only if tool basic functionality is active ($MC_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK, bit 0.1=0)

and ($MN_MM_TYPE_OF_CUTTING_EDGE=0):

If Tx is programmed, any unknown Tx is first ignored and the alarm for the preparation com-

mand (Tx) is ignored until D selection is interpreted in the program execution. Only then is alarm

17191 output that was triggered by the preparation command. This means that in this block,

the operator could use the D selection to make corrections. When execution of the program is

continued, the faulty NC block is interpreted again and the preparatory command is internally

executed again automatically.

(It is interesting for cutting edge default=0 or =-2 or D0 programming, otherwise when chang-

ing the tool, the D from cutting edge default is deselected.)

This variant can be required if you want to program "Tool number=Location" (turret as tool

holder) without tool management. The turret can only be positioned at a location for which

there is no tool defined (yet).

If bit 0=1 is set, this bit is irrelevant.

Bit 8=0: A tool that is on a disabled magazine location is not taken into account for the tool

selection, i.e. it cannot be selected (default setting).

Bit 8=1: Also a tool that is on a disabled magazine location is taken into account for the tool

selection (corresponds to the earlier behavior).

Bit 9=0: The tool status "to be unloaded" ($TC_TP8[T_No] Bit10=1) is not relevant. (default

setting)

Bit 9=1: A tool that has the status "to be unloaded" ($TC_TP8[T_No] Bit10=1) is not selected

within the scope of T programming.

Bit 9=1: If a multitool or one of the tools on the multitool has the status "to be unloaded"

($TC_MTP8[MT_No] or $TC_TP8[T_No] Bit10=1), the tools on the multitool are not selected

within the scope of T programming.

$MC_MM_LINK_TOA_UNIT

Meaning:

The area T0 includes all tool, magazine, ... data blocks, which the NC knows. The maximum

number of units in the TO area match the maximum number of channels.

If MM_LINK_TOA_UNIT = default, then each channel is individually assigned a TO unit.

The channel is assigned to the TO unit i with MM_LINK_TOA_UNIT = i. It is thus possible to assign

one TO unit to several channels.

Notice

The upper limit value does not imply that the value is always meaningful or without conflict. If

one channel (the first) is active and the other not on a system with a total of 2 channels, the MD

on channel 1 can be formally set to a value of 2. However, the NC cannot work with this setting.

This setting would mean that channel 1 possesses no data blocks for tool offsets since a channel

with Id=2 does not exist.

The NC detects this conflict during power-on or a warm restart and reacts by independently

changing the (incorrect) setting to the default setting for the MD.

call may be programmed in the block with the M function replacement.

A subprogram return jump or end of part program is also not permitted. Alarm 14016 is gen-

erated in the case of a conflict.

Constraints:

M functions with a fixed meaning and configurable M functions are checked for competing

settings. A conflict is signaled with an alarm. The following M functions are checked:

- M0 to M5,

- M17, M30,

- M40 to M45,

Commissioning the PLC Program

The basic program supplies the tool management interfaces (data blocks DB71-DB73) with

information for the new and old tool. The user must process this data from the active interface

in the user program and ensure that the tools (old and new) are placed on the respectively

associated positions (magazine, location). In order for the tool management to always know

where a tool is located, each time a tool changes location the new location must be transferred

to the tool management via the FC7 or FC8/FC6 acknowledgement status.

Interfaces

Overview

The interfaces in the PLC consist of data blocks that are updated by the basic program. Tasks such

as "Load tool" or "Prepare tool change" are stored for each tool in data blocks along with the

source and target. For the interfaces for a spindle or turret, in addition to the tool numbers

(internal number, which is assigned by the NC when creating a tool), tool size and tool status are

transferred.

If the position of the tool changes (e.g. from magazine to gripper...), the new positions must be

transferred to the tool management on the NC. Three function blocks FC6 (TM_TRANS2), FC7

(TM_REV) and FC8 (TM_TRANS) are provided for this purpose. The PLC programmer can call

these blocks and supply them with the required parameters.

FC18 is available if positioning is performed using an auxiliary axis of the controller.

Commissioning tool management

The precondition for commissioning the PLC is that the NC commissioning has been completed.

The machine data must be correctly and completely set and the magazine configuration loaded.

The basic program sets up the user interface (DB 71 ... DB 73, DB1071 ... DB1073) when it boots.

The information about this - i.e. which magazine, number of loading points - is automatically

entered by the NC. The automatically determined configuration is optionally used or the

configuration runs via data block DB4.

Note

If data blocks DB71...DB73 are already available, the basic program first automatically deletes

them, and then the new data blocks are set up.

Data blocks DB1071 - DB1073 are automatically set up by the basic program for the multitool.

This means that the blocks are also set up if the "Multitool" function has not been set using the

appropriate machine data.

DB71 (Page 125) assumes the functions of loading and unloading, positioning and relocating.

The relocating and positioning functions (no matter from which NC channel) are generally

DB72 (Page 130) is the interface for changing tools into the spindle. This change procedure also

includes preparation of the tool. (Setting: $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_MODE=1)

PLC programming

6.2 PLC description

For all the interfaces listed here, source and target positions are available for the tools associated

with the machining operation.

FB15 is called in the basic program for communication between the NC and the PLC when tool

management is active. This block informs the user interfaces (DB71 to DB73 and DB1071 to

DB1073) if a tool management function is activated via the part program or operator input.

Interfaces within DB71 to DB73

A bit field for the active/passive status of each interface is contained in bytes 0 and 1 of the

respective data block (DB71 to DB73). DBX 0.0 represents the first interface, DBX 0.1 the second,

etc. A total of 16 interfaces can be addressed. If one of these bits is set to the value = 1 by the tool

management, the associated interface is activated. If set to 0, the interface may not be

processed by the user.

If the value = 1, the user must evaluate the commands at this interface and initiate the necessary

actions (e.g. position magazines, change tools, etc.). After activation, user programmers can

also write access this interface (e.g. in order to delete the "prepare change" bit). Communication

with the tool management is realized exclusively via FC8 or FC7 or FC6, not via DB 71, 72, 73, ...

(the only exception is the fast acknowledgement). For each change to tool positions and/or

status information of an interface request, FC8/FC6 should be called with these modified values.
