Description
Reads the tool group information. The following information can be acquired.
- Number of tool
- Number of free tool
- Tool life value
- Tool life counter
- Selected tool use-order number
- Optional tool group number
- Rest counter
- Status of rest signal
- 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 15i:7400#3, Series16i/18i/21i, 0i, 30i:6800#2) determines which unit is used. The parameter LTM (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 starting group number.
Pointer to the number of groups to be read. Actual number of groups being read is stored after this function call.
Pointer to the array of the ODBTLGRP structure including the tool group information. The ODBTLGRP structure is as follows.
typedef struct iodbtlgrp {
long ntool; /* number of tool */
long nfree; /* number of free tool */
long life; /* tool life */
long count; /* tool life counter */
long use_tool; /* selected tool use-order number */
long opt_grpno; /* optional tool group number */
long life_rest; /* rest counter */
short rest_sig; /* status of rest signal */
short count_type; /* type of tool life counter */
} ODBTLGRP ;
The following information are stored in "tlgrp" with binary format.
- ntool
- Number of tool
- nfree
- Number of free tool
- life
- Tool life value
- count
- Tool life counter
- use_tool
- Selected tool use-order number
- opt_grpno
- Optional tool group number *Note1)
- life_rest
- Rest counter *Note1)
- rest_sig
- Status of rest signal *Note2)
0 : rest signal OFF 1 : rest signal ON - count_type
- Tool life counter type
0 : count 1 : minute
Note1) It is -1 when Series 15i and without the tool life management B function in Series 16i/18i, 0i-F and 30i. Note2) It is 0 when Series 15i and without the tool life management B function in Series 16i/18i, 0i-F and 30i. |
Note1) It is -1 when without the tool life management B function. Note2) It is 0 when without the tool life management B function. |
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 number of tool groups (*num) is 0 or less. |
(3) |
The specification of tool group number (grp_no) 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 15i, 16/18/21/21i, 0i, 30i The tool life management function.
- Series 16i/18i The tool life management function or the tool life management B function.
And this function is related to the following CNC option.
- Series 15i
This function is influenced by 1024/512 pairs of the tool life management.
- 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
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.
