I've seen some that have each tool holder coded and read the holders in the chain or carousel as it moves. The system has no idea where any of the tools are but it does know the difference between an empty spot and one with a tool. So when a tool is requested it just runs the carousel or chain

M61 Qxx is there to allow you specify the currently loaded tool. If you shutdown emc2, and restart it will not remember the tool number it last had loaded, so one can use the M61 to specify the current number. This only works in MDI though, I don't think it's usefull to specify it from a

Re: [Emc-users] Tool changer

My guess is that you need to make sure that your PLC sets tool-prepared true when the tool is ready to be changed. The T word invokes the prepare - prepared thread, the M invokes the change - changed thread. You should be able to check the prepare and prepared signal status with HALmeter.

In that case, don't use prepare-prepared. Just link the two signals so that as soon as the prepare is set true, prepared becomes true. Most example configurations have this because they don't usually have changers. This will put all of the control burden on the M6. Do you have a tool
