teach-in cuts
(LTIME), all control cuts (CTIME) and
the total time difference
(TDIFF), and enters it after
the keyword
TOTAL in the last line of the log file.
The TNC can only calculate the time difference
(
TDIFF) if you have completed the teach-in step.

Tool breakage/tool wear monitoring
This feature must be enabled and adapted by the
machine tool builder.
Refer to your machine manual.
With the breakage/wear monitor, a cut-based tool breakage
detection during active AFC can be realized.
Through the functions that can be defined by the machine tool
builder you can define a percentage value for wear or breakage
detection with respect to the rated power.
When the defined limit spindle power range is not maintained, the
TNC conducts an NC stop.
