N80 M06;
(1) In response to the M06 command, M code binary value 0006 is
output to PMC F addresses <F010 to F013> and the MF signal is
output to <F007#0>.
(2) The machine performs a tool change operation, and moves the
tool from the standby position to spindle position.
(3) With the PMC window (function code 329), the tools at the
standby position and spindle position in the cartridge
management table are changed.
(4) The CNC regards the tool moved to the spindle position
(cartridge number 11) by the PMC window (function code 329)
as a new tool targeted for tool life management.
(5) The miscellaneous function completion signal is sent from the
PMC to CNC.

N10 T11111111 ;
(1) From the tools with tool type number 11111111, a tool with the
shortest life is searched for.
(2) Since the tool with the shortest life is the tool at the spindle
position (tool management data number 1), binary value 0011 is
output to PMC addresses <F0026 to F0027>. At the addresses
indicating the pot number <F0028 to F0029>, binary value 0000
is output.
(3) Tool function strobe signal TF is output to the PMC.
