For the format of a standard cycle, refer to the example shown below:
Calling cycles using the "T" function
Configure the parameters shown in below table to activate a T code for calling a standard cycle:
Activating tool parameters with an M code
Calling the standard cycle with M06
The format of the standard cycle is the same with that of M codes. The tool number for programming will be saved into
system variable $C_T.
Descriptions of frequently used system variables
Program testing status; boolean variable
Program searching status; boolean variable
Program searching status; real numbers: 1-, 2-, 3-
Tool number in the spindle turret
$C_T Programming tool number.
$P_TOOLP is inactive when the program code T calls a tool changing cycle that is
defined with MD10717. The tool number is then represented with "$C_T".
Tool's geometrical parameter: tool length 1
Tool's geometrical parameter: tool radius
$TC_DP12[Tool number, 1] Tool wear: the direction of length 1
Tool wear: the direction of radius
$TC_DP24[Tool number, 1] Tool's dimension:
0: normal
Number of the tool turret
