Tool Type Check Function
The AFC1500 tools have an EEPROM in the preamplifier that contains tool data specific for
each tool. The Tool type check function reads the information of the tool EEPROM and compares it
to the information of the Axis (SAN) unit; any mismatch is reported as a Tool Type Error Abnormal.
The tool type check is performed during the following times:
1) When the equipment is powered on.
2) When preset data is downloaded from a user console to the Axis unit.
3) When a tool is changed
