TOOL AND MAGAZINE TABLE

Presentation of the tool tables and magazine tables.
16.1.3 Save and load the tables
From the vertical softkey menu, it is possible to make a backup copy of the table data
(recommended). With these files, it is possible to recover the table data when needed.
These tables are saved in the an ASCII file. These files may be saved at the CNC, in a floppy
disk or at another device (CNC, PC, etc.) connected through Ethernet. By default, they are
saved in the folder "C:\CNC8070\ MTB\ DATA" or in the last folder selected by the user.
These tables are saved in the following files. The table monitoring the change processes is
informative only; it is not copied anywhere.
Considerations for saving and loading tables.
Although each table may be saved separately, it is recommended to always have a copy of
all the tables. Also, the following must be borne in mind when loading the tables:
• Loading the tool table initializes the magazine tables and the active-tools table. When
changing the list of available tools, it may not be coherent with the tool distribution in the
magazine or in the spindles. This is why after loading this table it is necessary to define
(or load) the magazine tables and the active-tools table, if any, in that order.
• Loading the magazine table initializes the active-tools table. This is because when
loading the magazine tables, the new tool arrangement may not be coherent with the
active tools. This is why after loading this table, it is necessary to load the active-tools
table.
Save the tables
The tables may be saved one by one or all of them simultaneously. In either case, the action
is carried out from the vertical softkey menu using one of the following icons.
After pressing the icon, the CNC will ask where to save the data files. Select the desired folder
and press [ENTER]. The selection process may be canceled by pressing the [ESC] key.
Recall the tables
It may be used to restore the data, in ASCII format, of the tables from the files. The tables
may be loaded one by one or all of them simultaneously. In either case, the action is carried
out from the vertical softkey menu using one of the following icons.
After pressing the icon, the CNC will ask the location of the data files. Select the desired folder
and press [ENTER]. The selection process may be canceled by pressing the [ESC] key.
