Explanation
AXNAME: Get axis identifier
Converts the input string to an axis identifier. An
alarm is generated if the input string does not
contain a valid axis identifier.
SPI: Convert spindle to axis
Converts a spindle number to an axis identifier. An
alarm is generated if the passed parameter does
not contain a valid spindle number.
Check whether the geometry axis 1 to 3 specified
as parameter exists in accordance with
$MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB.
Convert axis identifier into string.
Explanation
Create new tool (prepare tool data). The duplo
number can be omitted.
Get T number for tool identifier
Get active tool from a group of tools with the same
name
Save a tool environment in SRAM with the
specified name
Delete a tool environment in SRAM with the
specified name. All tool environments if no name
specified.
Reading:
T number,
D number,
DL number
from a tool environment with the specified name
