Getting iocontrol.0.tool-prep-pocket to work was created by tsaG
Hi,
I am currently implementing a rack tool changer. My problem is that the Hal Pin "iocontrol.0.tool-prep-pocket" is always Zero. Do I need to activate it in my HAL File? Its currently initialized as following:
My Tool Table looks as follows:
However, even when inserting Tool1 prep-pocket is always 0. Is there something I am missing?

You can use tool numbers instead, pocket numbers have to be the same as tool numbers for non random toolchangers

Hm, the issue is that I only have a 12 slot tool rack. I machine wood and metal and have my tool library imported into fusion as well. This means I will be switching tools in and out the tool rack as I need, so it would be great to use the assigned pocket numbers.
Nevertheless for someone not needing to change the tools frequently (or is more flexible in tool numbering) that is a good idea!

Sorry for the double post. I already found several examples of carousel and tool changers that circumvent this HAL (Probe Basic also seems to use its own implementation in the var file). Is it save to assume that this function just doesnt work?
If so, I will just follow the PB implementation and add/modify the pockets in my var file and (try) to use these.
