Transmitting tool life data to external tool management (P-CHAN-00076)
For controllers running under TwinCAT usually only the tool data is requested from the external tool management if parameter P-CHAN-00016 is set. To transmit the tool life data from the CNC to the external tool management the parameter "tool_life_to_wzv" must be set additionally.
Variable name | Type | Permitted range | Dimension |
