Description
Reads the tool group information 4. The following information can be acquired.
- Numbers of tool
- Tool life value
- Tool life counter
- Tool life counter type
- Optional group number
- Rest counter
| 0 | : | count |
| 1 | : | minute |
The unit of the tool life value is either [minute] or [count]. The parameter LTM(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.
In case of M system, if tool life management B option(In case of 0i-F, 30i/31i/32i:Parameter No.6805#4) is used, the optional group number and the rest counter is also acquired. When the tool life management B is not used or the system is T, the 0 is set for the optional group number and the rest counter.

Declaration
Arguments
Specify the library handle. See "Library handle" for details.
Specify the read start tool group number. When the value of outside of the range to the tool group number is specified, EW_NUMBER error occurs. In case of range of the tool group number, the read is started from a group which is the nearest from the specified group number.
Specify the search direction. The direction of the search specifies whether to read in the ascending order or the descending order based on the number specified by grp_no.
| 0 | : | Ascending order (direction where tool group number increases) |
| 1 | : | Descending order (direction where tool group number decreases) |
Specify the number which wants to read. When the value of 0 or less was specified, EW_LENGTH error occurs.
Specify the pointer to the variable to store the number actually read. If the group which registered is not found when the tool group was searched according to the specified direction, the 0 is set as the result.
the pointer to the array of IODBTGI4 structure which returns the tool group information. The IODBTGI4 structure is as follows.
typedef struct iodbtgi4 {
short grp_no;
long n_tool;
long count_value;
long counter;
long count_type;
long opt_grpno;
long life_rest;
} IODBTGI4;
- grp_no
- Tool group number
- n_tool
- Numbers of tool
- count_value
- Tool life value
- counter
- Tool life counter
- count_type
- Tool life counter type
- opt_grpno
- Optional group number
- life_rest
- Rest counter
<Note>
Prepare the arrays of the number or more specified by num_to_read.
When the array number is less than the specified number,
the operation of this function is not guaranteed.
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) |
The value of 0 or less was specified for read number(num_to_read). |
(3) |
Tool group number(grp_no) is wrong. |
(4) |
Search direction(direction) 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.
- Series 16i/18i/21i
The tool life management function or the tool life management B function.
- Series 30i/31i/32i
The tool life management function.
And this function is related to the following CNC option.
- Series 16i/18i/21i
This function is influenced by 512(M Series)/128(T Series) pairs of the tool life management.
- Series 0i-F, 30i/31i/32i
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 is 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-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.
