● Permanent functions have already been assigned to some of the M functions by the control manufacturer (see the
SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED Programming and Operating Manual). The functions not yet assigned
fixed functions are reserved for free use of the machine manufacturer.
The T function can be used to make the tool required for a machining operation available through the PLC. Whether a tool
change is to be performed directly with the T command or with a subsequent M6 command can be set in
MD22550 TOOL_CHANGE_MODE.
The programmed T function can be interpreted as tool number or as location number.
One T function per part program block is possible.
T0 is reserved for the following function: remove the current tool from the tool holder without loading a new tool.
The D function is used to select the tool offset for the active tool. Tool offsets are described in detail under:
SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED Programming and Operating Manual
The H functions can be used to transfer different values from the part program to the PLC. The meaning can be chosen by
the user.
● Three H functions per part program block are possible.
● Value range of the H functions: Floating data (as calculating parameter R)
● Address extension 0 to 99 (H0=... to H99=...) possible
The S function is used to determine the speed for the spindle with M3 or M4. For turning machines with G96 (constant
cutting speed) the cutting value is specified.
