Inputting tool management data 

 
Tool management data is loaded into the memory of the CNC from an 
external device. The input format is the same as the output format.  
When tool management data with a data number corresponding to 
existing tool management data registered in the memory is loaded, the 
loaded tool management data replaces the existing tool management 
data.

NOTE 

 

When using oversize tool support of the tool management 
function, keep the following in mind. 

-  If a target tool is registered in a cartridge and interferes 

with other tools in registration or modification of tool 
geometry data of the tool management data, PS alarm 
5360 is issued.    (The data is not input.) 

-  When restoring backup data in the state where all data 

related to the tool management function in the NC is 
cleared, restore tool geometry data, tool management 
data, and cartridge management table data in this order.
