Manual tools are tools which are required during machining, but are only avail-
able in the tool list but not in the tool–holding magazine. These tools must be
attached/detached manually to/from the spindle.
Via MD 22562 $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE,
Bit 1=1, tools without magazine location assignment can additionally be se-
lected on a tool change.
An alarm is output every time the manual tool is loaded, unloaded or replaced.
(e.g.: "Channel 1, manual tool cutter20, duplo no. 1 load to tool holder 1." I.e.
that manual tool cutter20 should be loaded into the spindle.)
Manual tools are identified by magazine location 1 in magazine 9999 in the in-
terface to the PLC. Bit 5 in DB72 DBB (n+0) is set to load the tool and bit 6 to
unload it.
