Magazine-less system.

When there is no tool magazine, changing the tool only requires programming the T function
without the need for M6. In this circumstances, a programmed M6 function is not interpreted
as a tool change, but as just another M function without any special meaning. This does not
prevent it from having an associated subroutine like any other M function.
It will be synchronized with the tool manager after the tool change (MZWAIT) after managing
the T block in execution.
Execution of the T function.
1 When the CNC executes the T function, it lets the tool manager know about it.
2 The tool manager sends a command to the PLC to make the change.
3 The CNC waits for the tool manager to complete the operation before continuing with
the execution of the program.
Behavior of function M06.
When there is no tool magazine, the M6 function behaves as follows.
• The M6 function will not activate PLC marks (e.g. DM06) nor will it execute anything
related to the tool change (like the tool change subroutine, etc.).
• The M6 function will not be displayed in the M function history.
• The subroutine associated with the M6 function (if it has one) will execute modal canned
cycles or modal subroutines with motion.
• The subroutine associated with M6 will have no special treatment when called upon from
hidden files, canned cycles, etc.
