Hello Guys
In random tool change In centroid during running is there any parameter on screen that shows the Next tool NX.T ?
Like fanuc there is two variable
1) HD.T (Tool in spindle)
2) NX.T (Next tool is tool on the BIn)

Attached is the pic of fanuc show the two variable
Thanks

I don't believe so.

For testing and troubleshooting, you can use the Alt-i display to look at whatever variable the PLC program uses to store the most recent M107 tool number. For example, in my oak-unified.src programs, this is W27. You could move definitions around to put it on one of W1-W10 so that it is on the first page of the Alt-i display.

Tool in spindle and the current offset are on the main screen already. Does your process sheet not tell what the next tool is?
