Mold-Masters TempMaster M2 Plus Series - Dynamic Remote Tool Load

13.7.2 Dynamic Remote Tool Load
This sequence allows a degree of control and feedback.
The dynamic method sends a change tool command by connecting the “load”
and “tool ID” pins to ground.
It then watches for a successful tool load before it ends the tool load process.
The process can be repeated to load another tool, if required.
Table 13-5 shows an example of this process.
