Important: G10 blocks may not be programmed when TTRC is active.
CAUTION: Any time that a G10L3; block is executed the
control automatically clears all information that is in the
management tables for all tools and tool groups.
Any time after the G10L3 command, parameters may be programmed to
enter what tool group is being entered, the type of tool life measurement
that is being used, and the tool life threshold percentage. The format for
this block is:
P__I__Q__;
Where : Is :
P__ The valueentered withthe P-wordis usedto program what toolgroup number is
being edited. The followingblocks assign tools to that tool group.

measurement that is tobe usedfor all thetools inthat group. I0 sets a typeof
time, I1 sets a typeof number of uses, andI2 setsa typeof distance. See
section 20.5.1 for details. If more thanone I-wordis programmedfor a toolgroup
the control uses thelast programmed I-wordfor that group. If no I-word is
programmed for a groupthe controluses I1as a default value.
Q__ The valueentered withthe Q-wordis usedto program thethreshold percentage
for that tool group. Enter the percentageof the totalexpected toollife that
causes thetools inthe groupto beclassified asold. See section 20.5.1 for
details onthreshold percentage. If the Q-word is not programmedin a block the
control usesa default valueof 80%. If more than one Q-word isprogrammed for
