Unloading a tool
"Unload tool / delete on code carrier" function
The "Unload tool / delete on code carrier" function is executed on SINUMERIK Operate in the
"Parameter" area. As a consequence, the "Read" function is executed in the PLC interface, and
then the "Write" function is executed.
This sequence ensures that the content on the code carrier, which is not written to with the
current tool data as result of the conversion rule, is retained.
Please refer to the following sections for the sequence of the "Read" function.
The sequence of the "Write" function corresponds to the "Read" sequence, with the difference
that the "DB19.DBX259.1" signal is used.

• SINUMERIK Operate does not use the following transfer parameters:
- PMagazine
- PPlace
- PTnumber
• Several units can be configured in the "tdiidentcfg.xml" file. However, in the data block only
the "Unit = 1" is used.

Error messages
Error messages that are transferred in the PLC are displayed on the user interface in the form of
an error code, for example, Error_Code (DB19.DBW260)
Further, the following error codes can occur:

PLC word, whose first byte contains the high byte and the

Example: PLC word 140 comprises the two PLC bytes 140 and
141 together and should be allocated the value 120.
Byte 140: 0 byte 141: 120
String
xx character
Strings occupy xx+2 bytes in the PLC as the first two bytes
contain the maximum length and the actual length of the
string. The actual string therefore does not start until the 3rd
byte. The individual characters are saved in the corresponding
bytes as ASCII code.
PLC strings do not have to end with a zero because the actual
length is always specified in the 2nd byte of the string.
Example:
"Hello" should be saved in a string, which starts at PLC byte
144 and may only have a maximum length of 32 characters.
This results in the following assignment of the bytes:
Byte 144 = 32 max. length of the string
Byte 145 = 5 actual length of the string
Byte 146 = 72 H
Byte 147 = 97 a
Byte 148 = 108 l
Byte 149 = 108 l

Reads tool data from the code carrier; whose unit is specified with "Unit". The tool is then created
if it is not already available in the NC. It is also loaded if "LoadTool" has been set. The number of
the loading location (place) in the loading magazine from "LoadingPlace" is used during this
process, if "LoadingPlace" is > 0. However, if "LoadingPlace" is set to 0, the value from
"LoadPlaceNo" node is used in the configuration file as loading location (place) number.
The channel number (channel) and the number of the read head (unit) must be specified.
If the parameter "Magazine" is assigned with ">0" and "MagazinePlace" with "0", then an attempt
is made to load the tool into an appropriate empty location in the specified magazine.
If the values for "Magazine" and "MagazinePlace" are > 0, then an attempt is made to load the tool
to this magazine location.
In all other cases, the tool is loaded into the magazine in which an empty location is found.

Empty location search (K code = 9)
For the tool specified with "TNumber" or with "Ident" and "Duplo", an empty location search or
target location check is performed. For "TNumber" = 0 an empty location is searched for the tool
specified using "Ident" and "Duplo"; for "TNumber" > 0 using the T number.
A valid value must be set for the "Channel" parameter in order to execute the function. Using the
specified loading point, an attempt is made to find an empty location in the magazines with
which the loading point is connected. To do this, the number of the loading point in the loading
magazine from "LoadingPlace" is used. However, if "LoadingPlace" is set to 0, the value from
"LoadPlaceNo" node is used in the configuration file as loading location (place) number.
If "Magazine" =0, a search is made for an empty location in any magazine; if a magazine number
is specified, then a search is made in the corresponding magazine. If, in addition, a magazine
location >0 is specified, then the function performs a target location check. This is required for
tools that are coded for specific locations.

10.5.1
Loading the code carrier via PLC interface
In this case, the data of the imaginary tool "WZ_Test13" is read from a code carrier, the tool is
then created in the NC and loaded. The tool should be loaded into Magazine "1" of the standard
NCU in channel "1". The operation should be administered via loading location "1" of the loading
magazine.
The parameters required for this service are listed in the following table.
Before executing the service, the PLC writes a "0" into the command code byte (K_code) of the
PLC interface in data block DB19. This service is then started by setting the "Request" bit. If the
"Active" bit is reset and the "Done" bit was set, then the PLC can evaluate the "Error" byte. The
"Request" bit must then be reset again.

Unloading to the code carrier via PLC interface
The tool loaded in the previous example should be unloaded and the actual data written to the
code carrier. After unloading, the tool is deleted in NC. The procedure should be managed via
unload location "2" of the loading magazine.
The transfer parameters required for this are listed in the following table. The service does not
return any parameters, and as a result, there are no new values in the return parameters of the
PLC interface.
Before executing the service, command code "1" must be written to the corresponding PLC byte
(K code). The start of the service and the further procedure are equivalent to the procedure in
Loading the code carrier via PLC interface (Page 700).

Channel %1 tool change not possible: No free location for tool %2 in magazine %4.
Explanation
%1 = channel ID, %2 = magazine number
The tool cannot be moved into the selected tool magazine. There is no appropriate location available for this
tool. A suitable location is largely determined by the status. This must state that the location is free, not
disabled, not reserved, not occupied by an oversize tool. It is also important that the type of tool is com-
patible with the type of possibly free magazine locations (e.g. if all magazine locations are type 'B' and if
these are all free, and if the tool is type 'A', then this tool cannot be set in this magazine).

Channel %1 command %2 has an invalid PLC acknowledgement parameter %3 identification %4
Explanation
%1 = channel ID, %2 = command no. %3 = PLC acknowledgement parameter, %4 = error identification
The specified command has been answered by the PLC with an invalid acknowledgement in the actual
combination. The following assignments are defined for command number:
1 Move tool, load or unload magazine
2 Prepare tool change
3 Execute tool change
4 Prepare tool change and execute with T command
5 Prepare tool change and execute with M command
7 Terminate interrupted tool command
8 Check tool motion with reservation
9 Check tool motion
0 Transport acknowledgement
Parameters 2 and 3 specify the PLC command and the status number of the acknowledgement.
Example:
Parameter 4 of the alarm message is =10. It is not defined for asynchronous tool motion, to reserve a buffer
location. In the example, the NC ignores the parameter. Additional possible reasons for the alarm: The tool
change defined by the command cannot be executed. The magazine location specified in the invalid pa-
rameter does not exist in the magazine.
The error code (%4) defines the alarm in more detail:
0 Not defined
1 Status now not permitted, or non-defined status received from PLC
2 Source and/or target magazine no. / location no. not known
3 Not defined
4 Target magazine no. and/or target location no. for tool move command not final destination
5 Not defined
6 Source and/or target magazine no. / location no. not known for tool change
7 PLC command with inconsistent data: Either magazine addresses inconsistent in VDI or NC command not
the same as the PLC acknowledgement, or both
8 PLC command with inconsistent data: When lifting a tool, asynchronous tool to be rejected was unloaded.
NC cannot execute a new selection.
9 PLC command with inconsistent data: The command acknowledgements want to move a tool to a location
where another tool is already located.
10 The asynchronous tool motion with reservation is only defined for movement from a magazine to a buffer.

TO unit %1 tool %2 with duplo no. %3 has reached tool prewarning limit with D=%4
Explanation
%1 = TO unit, %2 = tool identifier (name), %3 = duplo number, %4 = D number
Indicates that the specified D offset of the time, workpiece quantity or wear-monitored tool has reached its
prewarning limit. If possible, specify the D number - if not, then the 4th parameter is assigned the value 0.
If the "additive offset" function is being used, then instead of the wear monitoring, an additive offset mon-
itoring can also be active. The specific type of tool monitoring is a property of the tool (see $TC_TP9). The
duplo no. specification
has no further significance if replacement tools are not being used. The alarm is triggered via the OPI

Workpiece counter: Overflow in table of monitored cutting edges
Explanation
No more cutting edges can be entered in the workpiece counter table. As many cutting edges can be noted
for the workpiece counter as a whole as the total number of cutting edges that are possible in the NC.
This means that if every cutting edge of each tool is precisely used for one workpiece, then the limit is
reached.
If several workpieces are machined simultaneously at several tool holders / spindles, then across all work-
pieces, 18100 MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA cutting edges can be noted for the workpiece counter.
If the alarm is present, then this means that the cutting edges that will now be used are no longer monitored
from a workpiece number perspective; and more precisely, until the table is emptied again, e.g. using the
NC command SETPIECE or the corresponding task from the HMI, PLC (PI service).

It is probable that the PLC logic is incorrect. Tool change with reject tool is configured. Preparation command

command with "repeat tool selection" (e.g. status=7). NC does not find the tool in the magazine location
specified in the PLC command.
Or: Illegal operator intervention in a tool selection that is presently being executed (unloading the tool to be

Channel %1 block %2 no more memory for tool / magazine data
Explanation
%1 = channel number, %2= block number, label
The number of following tool/magazine data variables in the NC is specified by machine data:
- number of tools + number of grinding data blocks: MD18082 $MN_MM_NUM_TOOL
- number of cutting edges: MD18100 $MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA
Tools, grinding data blocks, cutting edges can be used independently of the tool management.
The memory for the following data is only available if the corresponding bit has been set in MD18080
$MN_MM_TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK.
- Number of monitoring data blocks: MD18100 $MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA
- Number of magazines: MD18084 $MN_MM_NUM_MAGAZINE
- Number of magazine locations: MD18086 $MN_MM_NUM_MAGAZINE_LOCATION
The following variable is determined by the software configuration: Number of magazine distance data
blocks: P2 permits 32 such distance data blocks.
Definition:
- "Grinding data blocks": Grinding data can be defined for a tool of type 400 to 499. A data block of this type
occupies as much additional memory as that provided for a cutting edge.
- "Monitoring data blocks": Each cutting edge of a tool can be supplemented with monitoring data.
If the alarm occurs when writing from one of the parameters $TC_MDP1/$TC_MDP2/$TC_MLSR, check
whether the machine data MD18077 $MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC / MD18076
$MN_MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE has been set correctly.
MD18077 $MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC defines the number of different Index1 statements that
may be made for an Index2 value.
MD18076 $MN_MM_NUM_LOCS_WITH_DISTANCE defines the number of different buffer locations that
may be named in Index2.
If a multitool is to be created - or its locations - then the alarm indicates that either more multitools are to be
created than is permitted in MD18083 $MN_MM_NUM_MULTITOOL - or if the alarm is generated when
creating the multitool locations, then the alarm indicates that more multitool locations are to be created
than permitted via MD18085 $MN_MM_NUM_MULTITOOL_LOCATIONS.

Channel %1 block %2 illegal array index 1
Explanation
%1 = channel number, %2= block number
General:
A read or write access was programmed to a field variable with invalid 1st field index. The valid field indices
must be within the defined field size and the absolute limits (0 - 32 766).
[DPA]: PROFIBUS I/O:
[DPA]: When reading/writing data, an invalid slot / I/O range index was used.
[DPA]: Cause:
[DPA]: 1.: Slot / I/O range index >= max. available number of slots / I/O ranges.
[DPA]: 2.: Slot / I/O range index references a slot / I/O range that is not configured.
[DPA]: 3.: Slot / I/O range index references a slot / I/O range that is not released for system variables.
[DPA]: The following specifically applies: If the alarm occurs when writing from one of the parameters
$TC_MDP1/$TC_MDP2/$TC_MLSR,
[DPA]: then it must be checked as to whether MD18077 $MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC has been
set correctly
[DPA]: MD18077 $MN_MM_NUM_DIST_REL_PER_MAGLOC defines the number of different Index1 state-
ments that may be made for an Index2 value
If an MT number is programmed, then the value can collide with an already defined T number or an already

Explanation
%1 = channel number, %2= block number
A value has been programmed that exceeds the value range or a limit value of a variable or a machine data
item.
For example
- In a string variable (e.g. GUD or LUD), a string needs to be written that exceeds the agreed string length in
the variable definition.
- If an illegal value is to be written to a tool or magazine management variable (e.g. illegal cutting edge
number in $TC_DPCE[x,y] or illegal magazine location number in $TC_MDP2[x,y]).
- An illegal value is to be written to $P_USEKT or $A_DPB_OUT[x,y].
- An illegal value is to be written to a machine data (e.g. MD10010 $MN_AS-
SIGN_CHAN_TO_MODE_GROUP[0] = 0).
- When accessing an individual frame element, a frame component other than TRANS, ROT, SCALE or
MIRROR was addressed or the CSCALE function was assigned a negative scale factor.

If the program pointer is at an NC block that contains the specified T identifier:
If the program is incorrect, resolve the error with a correction block and continue the program.
If the data record is missing, then create a data record. I.e. load the data record of the tool with all defined
D numbers to the NC (via HMI, with overstore), then continue the program.
If the program pointer is at an NC block that does not contain the specified T identifier:
The error already occurred earlier in the program when programming T, the alarm is however is only output
with the change command.
If the program is incorrect, e.g. T5 is programmed instead of T55, then the actual block can be corrected with
a correction block; i.e. if only M06 is there, then the block can be corrected to become T55 M06. The incorrect
T5 line remains in the program until it is terminated by a RESET or end of program.
In complex program structures with indirect programming, it may not be possible to correct the program.
Then, it is only possible to provide help locally using an overstore block - in the example with T55.

Channel %1 tool management: PLC can only terminate incorrectly canceled commands
Explanation
%1 = channel number
Indication that the PLC wanted to cancel an active command from the tool management (tool change); or
that there is no command active to be canceled. NC rejects because the channel status is either "active"
(cancel is then not allowed), or "reset" (then there is nothing to cancel).
