8 Tool Management
8.4 Startup in the PLC
Execution
8-88
So that the tool management always knows where the current tool is located,
each location change must be notified to the tool management via FC8 (transfer
block). The FC 8 (transfer block) is called by the user program.
FB110 is provided as an example.
The data blocks DB71/72 and 74 are set up automatically. The lengths of the
data blocks are determined by the parameters for tool management in DB4.
DB4 is written to by the PLC user program.
FC100 is provided as an example.
Implement call FC 8 and create PLC data (DB4).
For this purpose, either adjust the blocks FC 100 and FB110 in the directory
\ShopMill_Turn or use your own blocks.
