Description
Reads the tool group information. The following information can be acquired.
- Number of tool
- Tool life value
- Tool life counter
- Type of tool life counter(0 : count, 1 : minute)
The unit of the tool life value is either [minute] or [count]. The parameter LTM(Series 15/15i:7400#3, Series 16/18/21, 16i/18i/21i, 0i, 30i:6800#2) determines which unit is used.
For M Series, it is possible to specify the tool life counter type (time or count) by G10 command to every tool group.

Declaration
Arguments
Specify the library handle. See "Library handle" for details.
Specify the start tool group number.
Specify the end tool group number.
Specify the length of the data block(size of IODBTGI structure)
IODBTGI
N is number of the tool group to be read.
Pointer to the IODBTGI structure including the tool group information. The IODBTGI structure is as follows.
typedef struct iodbtgi {
short s_grp; /* Start tool group number. */
short dummy; /* Not used. */
short e_grp; /* End tool group number. */
struct {
long n_tool; /* Number of tool. */
long count_value; /* Tool life value. */
long counter; /* Tool life counter. */
long count_type; /* Tool life counter type. */
} data[N];
} IODBTGI ; /* N is number of tool group to be read. */
The following information are stored in "grpinfo" with binary format.
- grpinfo.s_grp
- Start tool group number
- grpinfo.e_grp
- End tool group number
- grpinfo.data[i].n_tool
- Number of tool
- grpinfo.data[i].count_value
- Tool life value
- grpinfo.data[i].counter
- Tool life counter
- grpinfo.data[i].count_type
- Tool life counter type
0 : count 1 : minute
Return
EW_OK is returned on successful completion, otherwise any value except EW_OK is returned.
The major error codes are as follows.
Return code | Meaning/Error handling |
---|---|
(2) |
Size of IODBTGI structure(length) is wrong. |
(3) |
The specification of tool group number (s_grp,e_grp) is wrong. |
(6) |
The tool life management function and the extended driver/library function are necessary. |
As for the other return codes or the details, see "Return status of Data window function"
CNC option
This function need the following CNC option.
And this function is related to the following CNC option.
- Series 15/15i
This function is influenced by 1024/512 pairs of the tool life management.
- Series 16/18/21, 16i/18i/21i
This function is influenced by 512(M Series)/128(T Series) pairs of the tool life management.
- Series 0i-F, 30i
This function is influenced by additional pairs number of the tool life management.
the tool life management : 256 pairs of the tool life management on whole system, both of M and T Series additional pairs number of the tool life management : 1024 pairs of the tool life management on whole system, both of M and T Series
For HSSB connection,
The extended driver/library function are necessary.
For Ethernet connection,
The Ethernet function and the extended driver/library function are necessary. However, in case of Series 16i/18i/21i-B, 0i-B/C/D/F and 30i the required CNC option is as follows. When Embedded Ethernet is used,above two optional functions are not required.
When Ethernet board is used,
- only Ethernet function is required.
