To execute the pallet table: Press the NC Start button. The TNC 
executes the pallets as set in MP7683.
In mid-program startup, only one tool-oriented machining 
operation is possible. Subsequent pieces are machined 
according to the method entered.
The value entered in the CTID field is stored for a 
maximum of 2 weeks. Within this time the machining 
process can be continued at the stored location. After this 
time the value is deleted, in order to prevent large 
amounts of unnecessary data on the hard disk.
The operating mode can be changed after executing a 
group of entries with TO or CTO.
The following functions are not permitted:
Switching the traverse range
PLC datum shift
M118
In MP7683, set whether the pallet table is to be executed 
blockwise or continuously (see “General User 
Parameters” on page 576).
Provided that Machine Parameter 7246 is set so that the 
tool usage test is active, you can monitor the tool service 
life for all tools used in a pallet (see “Tool usage test” on 
page 561).
