TOOLTYPE (P167)
It defines the behavior of the tool or of the tool offset.
This parameter has 16 bits counted from right to left.
Each bit has a function or work mode associated with it. By default, all the bits will be assigned the
value of ·0·. Assigning the value of ·1· activates the corresponding function.
Bit 13. The stop signal is taken into account after the "T" function is completed.
This function is applied when the tool change subroutine has been defined so it is executed as a
single block and the stop signal has been disabled.
If the stop signal ([CYCLE STOP] key or PLC signal) is received while executing a subroutine, the
CNC memorizes it until enabling the stop signal. In this situation, it does not finish the subroutine
and it does not consider the T as done, which could cause irregularities at the tool magazine. To
avoid this situation, it is possible to consider the stop signal after executing the "T" function.
This bit determines whether the stop signal is considered after completing the "T" function (bit=1)
or not (bit=0). If the bit is set to ·0·, the stop signal is considered in the following cases.
• If the stop signal has been disabled, when it is re-enabled.
• If the stop signal has not been disabled, when pressing the [CYCLE STOP] key.
It should be borne in mind that the DSTOP instruction disables both the [CYCLE STOP] key and
the signal coming from the PLC. Both may be re-enabled with the ESTOP instruction.
Bit 14. Type of corner when changing tool offsets.
When changing a tool offset, the change takes place at the end of the path. The corner where the
tool offset is changed may be machined either with rounding or without it.
This bit indicates whether that point is machined as a round corner (bit=1) or as a square corner
(bit=0).
This bit is only taken into account when round corner machining is active; when working in square
corner, the corner where the change takes place is always machined as a square corner.
Bit 15. Stop block preparation when executing the "T" function.
If while executing the "T" function, the block preparation detects a programming error, this function
might not be executed completely This means that the tool change may have concluded correctly
but the requested tool has not been assumed by the CNC. To avoid this situation, it is possible to
stop block preparation during the execution of the "T" function.
This bit determines whether block preparation is interrupted (bit=1) or not (bit=0) while executing
a "T" function.
Remember that when having a subroutine associated with the "T" function, the tool change is carried
out as follows:
1. It executes the associated subroutine.
2. The "T" function is executed without using the M06 function.
3. The CNC assumes the change.
