Procedure When Using Toolholders With Orientation Capability - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

Language command PAROT is not rejected if no orientable toolholder is active. This causes no
changes in the programmed frame.
Note
For additional explanations regarding the functions TCARR and TOROT, as well as PAROT, with
regard to channel-specific system frames, see Function Manual "Basic Functions", Section
"Axes, coordinate systems, frames".

Procedure when using toolholders with orientation capability

Creating a tool carrier
Setting the number of available tool carrier data sets
The number of available tool carrier data sets in the control system is defined with machine data:
MD18088 $MN_MM_NUM_TOOL_CARRIER (maximum number of definable tool carriers)
The number must be set according to the following rule:
MD18088 $MN_NUM_TOOL_CARRIER =
The number of tool carriers parameterized in the machine data is then distributed equally
across the parameterized channels and TO units.
<available number of tool carriers per channel or TO unit> =
Note
For further explanations on definition and assignment of a TO unit to a channel with machine
data MD28085 by machine data $MC_MM_LINK_TOA_UNIT, see:

Zero setting of tool carrier data:
You can use the command $TC_CARR1[0] = 0 to zero all values of all data sets.
Individual tool carrier data sets can be deleted selectively with the NC command DELTC or the
PI service _N_DELTCAR.
