Detailed Description
2.1 Tool
Tool Compensation (W1)
2-6 Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0
Effect on the D number
A compensation data set is determined by the D number.
The D address cannot be programmed with an address extension.
The evaluation of the D address always refers to the currently active tool.
If machine data:
MD20096 $MC_T_M_ADDRESS_EXT_IS_SPINO = TRUE,
the programmed D address refers to the active tool in relation to the master spindle (same
as for tool management function).
Effect on the T number
If the "Tool management" function is active, the values programmed with reference to the
master spindle (or master toolholder) are displayed as programmed/active T numbers.
If tool management is not active, all programmed T values are displayed as programmed/
active, regardless of the programmed address extension.
If machine data:
MD20096 $MC_T_M_ADDRESS_EXT_IS_SPINO = TRUE
(spindle number as address extension), only the T value programmed with reference to the
master spindle is displayed as programmed/active.
Example
The example below shows the effect of the machine data.
Two spindles are considered. Spindle 1 is the master spindle.
M6 was defined as the tool change signal.
T1 = 5
M1 = 6
T2 = 50
M2 = 6
D4
• If tool management is active, D4 refers to tool "5".
T2=50 defines the tool for the secondary spindle, whose tool does not influence the path
compensation. The path is determined exclusively by the tool programmed for the master
spindle.
• If tool management is not active and
MD20096 $MC_T_M_ADDRESS_EXT_IS_SPINO = FALSE, D4 refers to tool "50".
The address extensions of neither T nor Mare evaluated in the NCK.
Each tool change command defines a new path compensation.
