Also forgot to ask... Was trying to make use of #5600 and #5601.. but to no avail.. On a error.. I'm currently just doing a (abort, Message) Anyone know anything about #5600 and #5601 ? other than this?
5600 toolchanger fault indicator. Used with the iocontrol-v2 component. 1: toolchanger faulted, 0: normal. Volatile. 5601 toolchanger fault code. Used with the iocontrol-v2 component. Reflects the value of the toolchanger-reason HAL pin if a fault occured. Volatile. Is there a list of reasons ?
