Life counting is performed for a tool in the specified tool

alarm PS0155 is
raised. (When bit

Normally, when a tool group number
command is specified alone, type B is
used. However, even when a tool
group number command is specified
alone with type C, no alarm is raised.
(This means that there is no difference
in operation between types B and C.)
When M06 is
specified alone,
alarm PS0153 is
raised.
NOTE
When a tool group number is specified and a new tool is selected, the
new tool selection signal is output.
- Tool length compensation in tool axis direction
- Tool center point control
For these functions, a compensation value selected in tool life management is used for
compensation.
