Gear ratio of a tool (P-TOOL-00016 / P-TOOL-00017)
If the tool has a gear, the ratio can be set in the parameters gear_ratio_num and gear_ratio_denom. As soon as the tool is changed, in position controller a gear switch is executed. Thus the gear ratio has not to take into consideration on programming of the tool speed. A change of a tool with a gear is only allowed if the spindle is stopped (P-TOOL-00012). If the numerator or the denominator is 0, no gear switching is executed.
P-TOOL-00016:

P-TOOL-00017:
Variable name | Type | Permissible range | Dimension |
gear_ratio_denom | SGN32 | 0 <= gear_ratio_denom <= MAX(SGN32) | ---- |
