Tool pocket preset
by the PLC
With the machine parameter MP_setToolPlace under CfgPlcSymName, a
symbolic variable name can be defined under which the PLC can preset a tool
pocket. The user interface evaluates the request, inserts the tool in the tool
pocket and displays the T number. As an acknowledgment, the defined tool is
overwritten by the NC in the variable with (0). Then, as with a normal tool
change, the tool call strobe is set and the requested T number is transferred.
If the tool change cannot be performed, a (–1) is entered. At present the tool
preset by the PLC is permitted only in machine mode.
