hi

i am just implementing the tool changer and i would like to know when 
setting the current tool with
M61 Q02
this should set current tool in spindle to T02
will this also set the iocontrol.0.tool-number = 2
as when issuing the above the tool-number value did not change from 0 to 
2 as exspected

does M06 (iocontrol.0.tool-change) go high as soon as M06 is issued
or does it wait for the tool prepared function to come back true?

as when issuing a T03 M06 i found the iocontrol.0.tool-change did not 
change state only the iocontrol.0.tool-prepare and tool-prep-number 
states changed

here is snipit of my links into the PLC

#(bit, out) TRUE when a tool change is requested
net tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-change  => classicladder.0.in-06

#(bit, in) Should be driven TRUE when a tool change is completed
net tool-changed iocontrol.0.tool-changed <= classicladder.0.out-06

#(s32, out) The current tool number
net tool-current-tool iocontrol.0.tool-number => classicladder.0.s32in-00

#(s32, out) The number of the next tool, from the RS274NGC T-word
net tool-prep-num iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number => classicladder.0.s32in-01

#(bit, out) TRUE when a tool prepare is requested
net tool-toolprep iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => classicladder.0.in-07

#(bit, in) Should be driven TRUE when a tool prepare is completed
net tool-preped iocontrol.0.tool-prepared <= classicladder.0.out-07
