10. TOOL FUNCTIONS
407
Selection of tools can be done by commanding tool numbers with up to
an 8-digit numeral after address T.
When a T code is specified, the code signal and strobe signal correspond-
ing to the specified tool number are issued. The machine selects a tool
according to the issued signals. The code signal is held until another T
code is specified.
In a block, no more than one T code can be specified. The maximum
number of digits that can follow T can be specified in parameter 3032.
If this number is exceeded, an alarm occurs.
See Section 8.1.
3032 Allowable number of digits for the T code
[Data type] Byte
[Valid data range] 1 to 8
Set the allowable numbers of digits for the T code.
NOTE
When a move command and a tool function are specified in
the same block, the commands are executed in one of the
following two ways:
(i) Simultaneous execution of the move command and tool
function commands.
(ii) Executing tool function commands upon completion of
move command execution.
The selection of either (i) or (ii) depends on the sequence
program of PMC.
