Function call in combination with orientable tool carriers
Assigned value
Data type: INT
Value: 0 The function is deactivated.
The values supplied from system variables $P_AD... are the same
as the corresponding tool parameters.
> 0 The function is activated if an orientable tool carrier with the speci‐
fied number is active, i.e. the activation is linked to a specific ori‐
entable tool carrier.
The values supplied from system variables $P_AD... may be modi‐
fied with respect to the corresponding tool parameters depending
on the active rotation.
The deactivation of the designated orientable tool carrier tempo‐
rarily deactivates the function; the activation of another orientable
tool carrier permanently deactivates it. This is the reason why in
the first case, the function is re-activated when again selecting the
same orientable tool carrier; in the second case, a new selection is
required - even if at a subsequent time, the orientable tool carrier
is re-activated with the specified number.
The function is not influenced by a reset.
-1 The function is always activated if an orientable tool carrier is ac‐
tive.
When changing the tool carrier or when de-selecting it and a sub‐
sequent new selection, CUTMOD does not have to be set again.
-2 The function is always activated if an orientable tool carrier is ac‐
tive whose number is the same as the currently active orientable
tool carrier.
If an orientable tool carrier is not active, then this has the same
significance as CUTMOD=0.
If an orientable tool carrier is active, then this has the same signif‐
icance as when directly specifying the actual tool carrier number.
< -2 Values less than 2 are ignored, i.e. this case is treated as if CUT‐
MOD was not programmed.
Note:
This value range should not be used as it is reserved for possible
subsequent expansions.
