Hello
I wanted to readout the tool identifier of the current spindle tool and to continue processing in a MSG.

So I wrote

DEF REAL _TNR
DEF STRING[15] WZINFO

_TNR=$TC_MPP6[9998,1]
WZINFO=$TC_TP2[_TNR,1]

MSG ("T"<<WZINFO<<"........")

But the controller just brings the alarm 12620: character access to this variable is impossible.

Why? Does anyone have a solution?

The problem is in the following line:
WZINFO=$TC_TP2[_TNR,1]

There’s only one parameter allowed in clamp. The T-number is clear and it’s enough.
What are you going to use the second one, I mean“1”, for?
It has to look like this:
WZINFO=$TC_TP2[_TNR]

Thanks. I’ll try that tomorrow during my late shift. I believe you’re right.

[Michi1965]

It worked as I supposed!

However I’d like to know your train of thought about “1” in
WZINFO=$TC_TP2[_TNR,1]
What did you want to reach with it? And where do you have it from?

I often deal with tool data. Some our tools are so short that one should first request the length for reasons of safety. Or in other case the remaining lifetime is requested before a tool is used. And ......[_TNR,1] is always there. So I just chose the $TC_TP2 and everything else was almost a habit
