20310 TOOL_MANAGEMENT_MASK
MD number Channel-specific activation of tool management
Meaning: Bit20=0: The generated commands are not output to the PLC in response to PLC signal
“Program testing active”. The NCK acknowledges the commands itself.
Magazine and tool data are not changed. Exception: The tool status of
the tool activated in the test area can change to “active”.
Bit20=1: The generated commands are output to the PLC in response to PLC signal
“Program testing active”. Depending on the type of PLC acknowledgement,
tool/magazine data in the NCK can be altered at the same time. If the
acknowledgement parameters for the target magazine are set to the same
values as the source magazine, the tool is not transported and thus no data
modified in the NCK. Exception: The tool status of the tool activated in the test
area can change to “active”.
Bit21=0: Ignore tool status “W” when selecting a tool.
Bit21=1: Tools with “W” status cannot be selected by another tool change, tool
preparatory command.

TOOL_TIME_MONITOR_MASK
MD number
Activation of life time monitoring for the spindle specified here
Default setting: 1/2 Min. input limit: 1 Max. input limit: 4
Changes valid from: POWER ON Protection level: 2/4 Unit: - -
Data type: DWORD Valid as of software version: 2
Meaning: Value = 1: Monitoring is carried out for spindle 1.
Value = 2: Monitoring is carried out for spindle 1 and spindle 2.

TOOL_CHANGE_MODE
MD number
New tool offset for M function
Default setting: 0 Min. input limit: 0 Max. input limit: 1
Changes valid from: POWER ON Protection level: 2/4 Unit: - -
Data type: BYTE Valid as of software version: 1.1
Meaning: A tool is selected in the program with the T function. Whether the new tool is changed
immediately with the T function depends on the setting in this MD:
MD = 0
The new tool is changed immediately with the T function. This setting is used mainly for
turning machines with tool revolver.
MD = 1
The new tool is prepared for changing with the T function. This setting is mainly used on
milling machines with tool magazine to move the new tool to the tool change position in
parallel with machining (i.e. machining operation is not interrupted).
The old tool is removed from the spindle and the new tool loaded to it by means of the M
function entered in the MD. According to DIN 66025, this tool change must be
programmed with the M function M06.
