6.7 Start-up of code carrier
6.7.1 Description of the code carrier data
Overview
To the code carrier system: see the functional descriptions for the individual tool
identification systems.
A code carrier system is connected via the RS-232 interface, for example. If the machine has
its own code carrier system (tool identification system), then this system must also be started
up separately.
Note
From SW 6.3 code carrier systems can only be operated via SinTDC and no longer directly.
WToolIdSys = SinTDC
See also: /FBTC/ SINUMERIK Tool Data Communication SinTDC.
In order for the code carrier system to be activated from the tool management, it must be
entered in the file ...\user\mmc.ini.
Settings for inch/metric units of measurement and validation of tool status bits are made in
the file ...\user\paramtm.ini.
Note
None of the INI files in the "mmc2" directory may be modified.
An INI file is associated with every manufacturer-specific server ("exe file") Manufacturer-
specific settings are made in this INI file via the code carrier system. The parameters it
contains are described in the documentation from the code carrier manufacturer or the
relevant Description of Functions for the tool identification system.
Activating the code carrier system
The connected code carrier system (e.g. WToolIdSys=Ballu) is activated in the file
...\user\mmc.ini.
