Global PERS Tool Data
Hi,
we have a S4C+ controller with an IR6400 robot, we actually use around 20 different programs modules with different routines but they all contain the same PERS tool data. My understanding is that at the moment the tool data for the tool we use is loaded when the program is loaded.
The problem with this setup is that if we change the tool, I need to change all the 20 program files by updating the tool data with the new parameters.
Is there a way I can save the tool data in a global file and delete it from the program file?
maybe in a system file like the tool0 ?
Thanks

Try storing your tooldata in a system module instead, like this:
MODULE mymodule (SYSMODULE)
TASK PERS tooldata myTool:=[TRUE,[[100,200,300],[0,0,0,1]],[100,[200,300,400],[1,0,0,0],10,20,30]];
ENDMODULE2 -
Ok, thanks.
I had a look at the backup and it seems there is already a system module under:
BAKxxx>RAPID>TASKxx>SYSMOD> "user"
you think is is just a case of adding the tool data on it?

Yes, use the USER system module2

And make sure that you save it into the HOME directory after adding your tooldata to it.Lee Justice1
