[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Clears all executable data, including the life count of the group, *, and @.
To clear the data, specify a group number by tool group number selection
signal after replacing the worn–out tools that are displayed on the CRT.
The data can also be cleared from the MDI.
[Operation] When the signal is set to 1, the control unit operates as follows:
· Clears all executable data, including the life count of the group.
If the same group is specified after machining is resumed, the first tool in
the group is selected.
NOTE
Tool change reset signal TLRST is valid only when the
automatic operating signal OP is “0”.
[Classification] Output signal
[Function] Reports the end of the life of the current tool. The following processing
can be programmed: A running program is interrupted by a tool-change
program when the signal turns to “1”. Execution of the interrupted
program is resumed when the tool is changed.
[Output condition] The signal is set to “1 ”when:
· The end of the life of the current tool is detected.
The signal is set to “0” when:
· Individual tool-change reset is executed.
[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Sets the individual tool change signal TLCHI to “0”.
[Operation] When the signal is set to “1”, the control unit operates as follows:
· Sets the individual tool change signal to “0”.
NOTE
1 These signals are valid only when tool life management is
performed on the basis of the tool life calculated in terms of
time or cutting length.
2 Individual tool change signal TLCHI is not cleared by reset.
