Tool compensation values can be entered into CNC memory from the
CRT/MDI panel (see section III–9.1) or from a program. A tool
compensation value is selected from the CNC memory when the
corresponding code is specified after address H or D in a program.
The value is used for tool length compensation, cutter compensation, or
the tool offset.
Table 14.7(a) shows the valid input range of tool compensation values.
Table14.7 (a) The valid input range of tool compensation value
Increment system Metric input inch input
IS–B 0 to "999.999mm 0 to "99.9999inch
IS–C 0 to "999.9999mm 0 to "99.99999inch
The memory can hold 32,64,99, or 200 tool compensation values
(option).
Address D or H is used in the program. The address used depends on
which of the following functions is used: tool length compensation (see
section 14.1), tool offset (see section 14.3), cutter compensation B (see
section 14.4), or cutter compensation C (see sections 14.5 and 14.6).
The range of the number that comes after the address (D or H) depens on
the number of tool compensation values : 0 to 32, 0 to 64, 0 to 99, or 0
to 200.
