Editing tool tables
The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is
designated TOOL.T. It can only be edited in the Programming and
Editing mode. Other tool tables that are used for archiving or test runs
are given different file names with the extension .T .
To open any other tool table:
8 Select the Programming and Editing mode of operation.
8 Call the program directory.
8 Choose the desired TOOL table, and confirm your
choice with the ENT key or with the SELECT soft key.
When you have opened the tool table, you can edit the tool data by
moving the cursor to the desired position in the table with the arrow
keys or the soft keys. You can overwrite the stored values, or enter
new values at any position. The available editing functions are
illustrated in the table below.
With MP7261 you can limit the number of pockets in the
tool magazine. There is no limiting if MP7261=0.
Setting MP7265=1 prevents multiple assignment of a
pocket number.
