9.3. Switching Tool Data
Beforehand the tool data setting as MEXTL1 – MEXTL*(It is different depending on the specification of the
robot controller connected) can be selected.
If tool data not change, this operation is not necessary.
Tool data can be selected also from combo box. (<a>)
The tool which can be selected is different depending on the software version of the robot controller
connected.

:
TOOL16=MEXTL16
When the robot moves with changing tool data, the tool data needs to be changed by setting tool number
into the M_TOOL. To move the robot to the position where teaching was performed while switching tool
data (MEXTL* parameters) during the automatic operation of the program, substitute the M_TOOL
variable by a tool number when needed, and operate the robot by switching tool data. Exercise caution
as the robot moves to an unexpected direction if the tool data during teaching does not match the tool
number during operation.
CAUTION
To move the robot while switching tool data during the step operation of the program, exercise caution as
the robot moves to an unexpected direction if the tool data at the time of teaching does not match the tool
number during step operation.
CAUTION
