RT_SET_TOOL_NUM (tool_number, pocket_number)
Use this command to assign a tool number to a pocket in the random
tool tables. This command tells the control the location of a tool
number in the tool changer. Refer to your operation and
programming manual for details on using the random tool feature.
To assign custom tool use the RT_CUSTOM_TOOL command. To
register a tool currently in the tool holder use the
ACTIVATE_RANDOM_TOOL command.
There are two arguments for this command. They are:
tool_number – the tool number you are defining for the tool changer
pocket_number – the number of the pocket currently holding the
tool.
Both of these arguments are integers. For example:
[RT_SET_TOOL_NUM(3, 1)]
would identify in the random tool table that tool number 3 is in tool
changer pocket 1.
TM_DELETE_ALL (no argument)
Use this command to delete all the tool management groups.
For example:
[TM_DELETE_ALL]
deletes all data in the tool management tables.
TM_DELETE_GROUP (tool_group_num)
Use this command to delete all tools from a specified tool group.
The argument tool_group_num is the tool group number to delete.
For example:
[TM_DELETE_GROUP(2)]
deletes all the tools in tool management tool group 2.
