Touch probe not active

NC FAQ1088

Question:

The touch probe is not active after it has been inserted. Why not?

Answer:

If the basic PLC program from HEIDENHAIN is used on your machine, then it suffices if in the PLC column of the TOOL.T tool table you set bit 0 (at far right) to 1.

If a different PLC program is used, then an M function might be necessary in order to activate the touch probe. Refer to your machine manual, or contact your machine manufacturer.
