4.DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS B-63950EN/02
- 240 -
5024 Number of tool compensation values
NOTE
When this parameter is set, the power must be
turned off before operation is continued.
[Input type] Parameter input
[Data type] Word path
[Valid data range] 0 to 999
Set the maximum allowable number of tool compensation values used
for each path.
Ensure that the total number of values set in parameter No. 5024 for
the individual paths is within the number of compensation values
usable in the entire system. The number of compensation values
usable in the entire system depends on the option configuration.
If the total number of values set in parameter No. 5024 for the
individual paths exceeds the number of compensation values usable in
the entire system, or 0 is set in parameter No. 5024 for all paths, the
number of compensation values usable for each path is a value
obtained by dividing the number of compensation values usable in the
entire system by the number of paths.
Tool compensation values as many as the number of compensation
values used for each path are displayed on the screen. If tool
compensation numbers more than the number of compensation values
usable for each path are specified, an alarm is issued.
For example, 64 tool compensation sets are used, 20 sets may be
allocated to path 1, 30 sets to path 2, and 14 sets to path 3. All of 64
sets need not be used.
Number of digits of an offset number used with a T code command
5028
[Input type] Parameter input
[Data type] Byte path
[Valid data range] 0 to 3
Specify the number of digits of a T code portion that is used for a tool
offset number (wear offset number when the tool geometry/wear
compensation function is used).
When 0 is set, the number of digits is determined by the number of
tool compensation values.
When the number of tool compensation values is 1 to 9: Lower 1 digit
When the number of tool compensation values is 10 to 99: Lower 2
digits
When the number of tool compensation values is 100 to 999: Lower 3
digits
Example :
When an offset number is specified using the lower 2 digits of a
T code, set 2 in parameter No. 5028.
