Tool Changer Logic

After all machine axes are homed according to the homing sequence, the tool changer reads the encoder data from the turret to determine the current tool position.

If a valid tool number is received, the current tool number is updated on the controller. If the signal is invalid, an error message is displayed indicating that the turret signals are incorrect.

Syntax

The following syntax is used for Tool Changer inputs and outputs:

• “Tool Changer - Output 1” means Tool Changer - 1 and it is an output
