8.4 Tool T
Functionality
The tool selection takes place when the T word is programmed. Whether this is a tool
change or only a preselection, is defined in the machine data:
S The tool change (tool call) is performed either directly using the T word or
S the change takes place after the preselection with the T word by an additional instruction
M6 (see also Section 8.5 “Miscellaneous functions M”).
Please note:
If a certain tool has been activated, it also remains stored as the active tool even after the
end of the program and after turning off/turning on the control system.
If you change a tool manually, enter the change also in the control system to make sure that
the control system knows the relevant tool. For example, you can start a block with the new
T word in the MDA mode.
