MTV: Multitool data, directory

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/MTCatalogue/...

The MTV data module can be used for the following purposes:

1. To display all multitools. The most important multitool information is collected in the MTV module. Existing

multitools are sorted in continuous ascending order of multitool number (= tool number). This means that variables

that are defined in this module as 1-dimensional arrays contain all the multitool information without any gaps. The

row index with which a specific array is addressed has no connection to the multitool number, but is just a serial

number. Inserting or deleting multitools changes the contents of a row dynamically.

2. Targeted access to the multitool data in the MTD, MTP, MTUD, MTAD, MTUP and MTAP modules. Which multitools

are actually defined should be determined from the MTV module before accessing an element in the stated mo-

dules.

MTnumWZV (T, MTV)

TAO: Application-specific tool edge data

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Compensation/...

Data module TAO is organized as a 2-dimensional variable array. This module contains application-specific cutting

edge data for all tools. Every element can be addressed via a column and row index. The column index is the tool

number (T number), i.e. one column contains the application-specific data for all the cutting edges of a tool.

The assignments between tools and T numbers are listed in the Tool Directory (TV) module in the relevant T area.

A request is negatively acknowledged if a non-existent tool number is entered as the column index.

The number of rows is determined by the number of parameters per cutting edge and the number of cutting edges

of a tool:

Max. number of rows = $$numCuttEdgeParams_tao * $$/T/TV/numCuttEdges (T number)

The number of parameters per cutting edge $$numCuttEdgeParams_tao can be found in area N / module Y. The

number of tool-specific cutting edges is specified in area T / module TV.

Several rows can be addressed where necessary which means, for example, that all application-specific edge data

of a tool can be read in one request.

Application-specific edge data are all of the same data type.

Application-specific cutting edge data are reserved for SIEMENS applications.

TAP: Application-specific magazine location data

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Magazine/...

The TAP data block is organized as a 2-dimensional variable array. This block contains application-specific data of

a T area. Each element can be addressed via a column and row index:

The column index is the magazine number, i.e. one column contains the application-specific magazine location

data for all the locations of one magazine. The assignments between magazines and magazine numbers are listed

in the appropriate Magazine Directory (TMV) block in the relevant T area. A request is negatively acknowledged if

a non-existent magazine number is entered as the column index.

The number of rows is determined by the number of parameters per magazine location and the number of maga-

zine locations:

Max. number of rows = $$numMagLocParams_tap * $$magNrPlaces

Application-specific magazine location data are reserved for SIEMENS applications.

The TAP block is not intended for new applications.

TAS: Application-specific monitoring data

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/Supervision/...

Data module TAS is organized as a 2-dimensional variable array. This module contains application-specific moni-

toring data for all tools. Every element can be addressed via a column and row index:

The column index is the tool number (T number), i.e. one column contains the application-specific monitoring data

for all the cutting edges of a tool. The assignments between tools and T numbers are listed in the Tool Directory (TV)

module in the relevant T area. A request is negatively acknowledged if a non-existent tool number is entered as the

column index.

The number of rows is determined by the number of parameters per cutting edge and the number of cutting edges

of a tool:

Max. number of rows = $$numCuttEdgeParams_tas * $$/T/TV/numCuttEdges (T number)

The number of parameters per cutting edge $$numCuttEdgeParams_tas can be found in area N / module Y. The

number of tool-specific cutting edges ($$/T/TV/numCuttEdges) is specified in area T / module TV.

Several rows can be addressed where necessary which means, for example, that all application-specific monitoring

data of a tool can be read in one request.

Application-specific monitoring data are all of the same data type.

Application-specific monitoring data are reserved for SIEMENS applications.

If multiple parameters (i.e. search criteria) have been selected (#0), they are logically combined with AND.

Return value

o Value 0 : Corresponding operand is not

evaluated / Variable is not a criterion for comparison

o Value 1 : == (equal)

o Value 2 : < (less than)

o Value 3 : > (greater than)

o Value 4 : <= (less or equal)

o Value 5 : >= (greater or equal)

o Value 6 : && (bitwise AND, value only allowed for operands of the types WORD and DOUBLE-

WORD)

o For string operands "==" is the only operator allowed

resultCuttingEdgeNrUsed (T, TF)

$A_USEDD

D numbers of cutting edges since last count

D numbers of the cutting edges used since the last workpiece count, that have been used on the tool holder previously defined

by $$resultNrOfCutEdgesUsed. Various D offsets for a tool mean that there are multiple entries of the tool. Consequently, a T

number can be present more than once.

The variables "resultToolNrUsed" and "resultCuttingEdgeNrUsed" form a pair with the same line index consisting of the internal

tool number and the cutting edge number for a tool used since the last cutting edge count.

Return value

o >0: D number (can also be contained multiple times if D offsets of various tools were in use).

o 0: No more cutting edges have been used since the last workpiece count.

o -1: Magazine management (TMMO) is not active. If tool monitoring (TMMO) is not active, an

error code for a missing variable is returned.

resultNrOfCutEdgesUsed (T, TF)

$A_USEDND

Number of cutting edges since last workpiece count

Number of different cutting edges used on the tool holder since the last count, including the cutting edge currently in use. Each

tool used is included at least once.

o Line 1: Number of possible tool holders

o Line 2: Number of possible cutting edges.

o Line i+2: Number of the i-th tool holder

o i+3: Number of cutting edges used on i-th tool holder since the last count. This corresponds to $A_USEDND.

The various lines are used to filter the cutting edges displayed.

Return value

o > 0: Number of cutting edges used

o 0: No more cutting edges have been used since the last count.

resultToolNrUsed (T, TF)

$A_USEDT

Tool numbers T since the last count

The variables "resultToolNrUsed" and "resultCuttingEdgeNrUsed" form with the same line index a pair consisting of internal tool

number and the cutting edge number for a cutting edge used since the last count.

If a tool is used with different cutting edges, the tool is listed more than once.

The two variables are linked to each other. $$resultNrOfCutEdgesUsed has to be read first, and then the individual T numbers

with $$resultToolNrUsed.

Return value

o >0: Tool number T

o 0: No more cutting edges have been used since the last count.

o -1: Tool monitoring (TMMO) is not active. If tool monitoring (TMMO) is not active, an error code

is returned for a missing variable.

o -2: "toolHolder" has the value of an undefined tool holder.

TG: Tool data, grinding-specific data

OEM-MMC: LinkItem /Tool/GrindingData/...

Special tool data are required for grinding tools. These data are contained in the module TG. They can be addressed

via several multiple-row variables. The row index corresponds to the T number. If a non-existent T-number is

addressed negative acknowledgment is returned. The module tool directory (TV) in the associated area T shows

which T-numbers are valid.
