Subroutine associated with the tool change (function M6).

To properly configure the magazines and the tool change, the routine associated with the
tool and the function M06 must be programmed. The M06 function executes the tool change.
It is recommended to set this function in the "M" function table so it executes the subroutine
for the tool changer installed on the machine. The M06 function must also be programmed
within the subroutine so the CNC prompts the tool manager to start making the tool change.
• When there is no tool magazine, the function M6 behaves like a normal function, as it
does not execute anything related to the tool change, therefore, it is not necessary to
assign this subroutine.
• For a turret magazine, it is recommended that the routine associated with T include the
M06 function. When the CNC selects a tool, the routine associated with T executes the
function M06 (tool change). If the subroutine associated with T does not include the
function M06, when the CNC selects a tool, it internally executes a T# M6 block to make
the change.
• For other magazines, it is recommended that this function in the "M" function table be
customized, so it executes the subroutine for the tool changer installed on the machine.
The M06 function must also be programmed within the subroutine so the CNC prompts
the tool manager to start making the tool change.
Considerations and recommendations.
The management of the tool change should be included in the subroutine associated with
the M06 and leave the control of the external devices up to the PLC. Use the auxiliary
functions to govern the various devices (magazine rotation, magazine movement, tool
changer arm, etc) from the M06 subroutine.
Configure the subroutines.
This subroutine must be defined in the "M" function table and saved in the folder ..\Mtb\Sub.
