15.2.1 Output of tool number (Fixed pocket coding)
Evaluating the tool number is adequate for fixed tool pocket coding. MP7480 is used to select
whether the tool number should be transferred to the PLC with every TOOL CALL (TOOL DEF)
block or only when the tool number changes (input values for MP7480 = 2 or 1). With this setting
the tool number is transferred to the Word W262 when a TOOL CALL or TOOL DEF block is
executed. W264 is not used.
Unlike variable pocket coding, the pocket numbers are displayed in the tool table but are not
changed by the NC.
15.2.2 Output of pocket number (Variable pocket coding)
With variable pocket coding, the NC must transfer the pocket number of the called tool to the PLC
(MP7480 = 3). In this setting, the pocket number is filed in Word W262. In addition to the pocket
number, the NC also transfers the current tool number in W264. Variable pocket management (the
assignment of tool number to pocket number in the tool table) is handled by the NC.
If marker M2612 (suppress pocket exchange in the tool table ) is set before a T strobe is output
(M2046), the pocket numbers are not exchanged. The PLC only acknowledges the T strobe without
having made an exchange in the tool magazine and resets the PLC marker M2612. The new tool
number is displayed highlighted (inversely) in the status and the associated tool data ( length, radius)
are activated. The inverse display of the tool number in the status display remains until a tool has
