Tool skip signal TLSKP<G009#7>
[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Directs the control unit to skip a tool whose service life has not been
reached and selects the next tool. The following two methods can be
used, one of which can be selected by specifying bit 2 (SIG) of
parameter No. 7400:
- Not specifying a group number with the tool group signal (SIG =
0)
When the status of tool skip signal TLSKP changes from 0 to 1,
the group of the currently selected tool is assumed to have been
specified.
When this group is specified again by a Txxxxxxxx command, the
next tool within the group is newly selected.
- Specifying a group number with the tool group signal (SIG = 1)
The group number of a group to which a tool to be skipped
belongs is specified with the tool group signal (TL1 to TL512),
then the tool skip signal TLSKP is set to 1. When this group is
specified again with a Txxxxxxxx command, the next tool within
the group is selected.
[Operation] When the status of this signal changes from 0 to 1, the control unit
operates as follows:
- Among the tools in a skip operation target group, which have not
yet reached the end of their service lives, a tool having the lowest
tool number in the tool life management table is indicated by #.
When this group is specified again by a Txxxxxxxx command, it
is posted that the marked tool is skipped and the next tool is
selected. If, in the skip operation target group, the tool whose life
has not expired is the last tool in the tool life management table,
tool change signal TLCHA is set to 1 immediately.
CAUTION
Set tool skip signal TLSKP to 1 when the control unit
is in the reset state or automatic operation stop
state. In other words, change the tool skip signal
status from 0 to 1 when automatic operation start
signal STL and automatic operation hold signal SPL
are both 0.
