Hi,
I’m trying to find the variable that holds the number for the current tool that’s called up for a Macro. It’s on a Doosan Puma with 31i control.
I have seen similar posts on here suggesting #4120 but that just contains 0.

Upload your macro or entire backup here

Hi,

Check your Tool Change Macro.
Probably stored in #100, in my macro it is; #100 = #4120, Toolnumber is shown in #100.

Regards.

If #4120=0 then
#100=#4120=0

#100 - local temporary variable
#4120 - global system variable

Mr guhl,

Were did I say #4120 = 0 and #100 = 0 ???
When I do a toolchange like T9 M6 varaible #100 shows 9 after toolchange, depending on the toolnumber !!!!
My ( HWacheon Vesta 1000 ) macro says: #100 = #4120 and stores the 9 in #100, simple as that.

You wrote
#100=#4120
Hence, if #4120=0 (like author claimed), then we can say that #100 will be equal 0 as well
#4120=0 and #100=4120 -> #100=0
Author will see in #100 the same like in #4120

jedd,

#4120 is a system variable that you can not see. If, like Heavy_Metal said, you go into your tool change program and right after the M6 add #100=#4120.
Then when you look in your macro variables page you will see your tool number in 100.
Just a note, you can use any common variable you choose (#100 to #199) it does not have to be just #100

Thanks for the replies. I was looking through SYSTEM>PARAMETERS thinking it was reading from there.
Is there no way of browsing through the system variables or can I find a list anywhere of other system variables?
Thanks

Hi,

There are plenty of variable lists, just Google for it.

On a Doosan Puma with a 31i control, the variable that holds the current tool number for a macro is typically #5000
