CAUTION
When this parameter setting is changed, the tool life management
data file is cleared at power-on. Subsequently, register tool life
management data for each path.
1.1.1 Tool Life Management Data
Tool life management data consists of tool group numbers, tool numbers, codes specifying a
tool offset value, tool life values, arbitrary group numbers, and remaining life settings.
Whether to use arbitrary group numbers and remaining life settings can be specified by
setting bit 5 (TGN) and bit 3 (GRP) of parameter No. 6802.
Explanation
- Tool group number
Up to 256 tool life management groups can be used in the entire CNC system.
In parameter No. 6813, set a maximum number of groups used. With the set maximum
number of groups, up to four tools can be registered per group. The combination of the
maximum number of registerable groups and the maximum number of tools can be changed
by setting bit 0 (GS1) and bit 1 (GS2) of parameter No. 6800 as follows.
Multipath system (when tool life management is performed for three paths)
Suppose that, of the total groups in the system (256 groups), 128 groups
are allocated to path 1, 65 groups to path 2, and 64 groups to path 3.
Then, set parameter No. 6813 as follows:
Tool life management data file
(256 groups in total in system)
Path 1
128 groups max.
Path 2
64 groups max.
Path 3
64 groups max.
Parameter No. 6813
Path 1
Set 128 in parameter
Path 2
Set 64 in parameter
Path 3
Set 64 in parameter
