2.10 Working with tool environments
2.10.1 General
Functions
The current states of tool data can be processed using the functions below, which are
generally available:
• Save
• Deletion
• Read
• Modify
A further function can be used to determine information about the assignment of the tool
lengths of the active tool to the abscissa, ordinate and applicate.
2.10.2 Saving with TOOLENV
Scope of a tool environment
The TOOLENV memory function is used to save any current states needed for the evaluation
of tool data stored in the memory.
The individual data are as follows:
• The active G code of group 6 (G17,G18,G19)
• The active G code of group 56 (TOWSTD, TOWMCS, TOWWCS, TOWBCS, TOWTCS, TOWKCS)
• The active transverse axis
• Machine data:
MD18112 $MN_MM_KIND_OF_SUMCORR (Properties of sum offsets in the TO area)
• Machine data:
MD20360 $MC_TOOL_PARAMETER_DEF_MASK (definition of tool parameters).
• Setting data:
SD42900 $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_LENGTH (Sign change tool length when mirroring)
• Setting data:
SD42910 $SC_MIRROR_TOOL_WEAR (Sign change tool wear when mirroring)
• Setting data:
SD42920 $SC_WEAR_SIGN_CUTPOS (Sign of wear for tools with cutting edge systems)
• Setting data:
SD42930 $SC_WEAR_SIGN (sign of wear)
