Example 20.2
Using T-word Format #3
T2013;
This examplefirst calls for toolnumber 2to berotated intoposition, then datais accessedfrom
the offset tables (chapter3) for valuesunder tool geometryoffset number 13, andtool wear
offset number13.
From these simple examples translation to the other formats should be
relatively easy. The tool number is always the digits closest to the T-word.
The maximum value that a tool number can have is determined by the
system installer in AMP.
To cancel the tool length offset, program a T-word with a geometry and
wear offset number of 0. The control does not cancel the active tool
number since a tool number of 0 is invalid. If the wear or geometry offset
number is the same as the tool number, a T-word of 0 cancels the offsets
but not the tool number.
Example 20.3
Canceling Tool Offsets (Any T-word Format)
Assume that tool number 1 is the activetool number.

Refer toyour system installers documentationfor details.
Important: Your system installer determines in AMP whether or not all
tool length offsets are canceled when the control is reset or an M02 or M30
end of program block is read.
Important: A T-word also calls up geometry and wear radius data for use
in TTRC. See chapter 21.
