Access Preset Table Manager

Press POS key (or PRESET TABLE softkey), then press 'Display all presets' to view the complete preset table and check the total number of entries. Note the REF system being used.

The control typically names split tables with numeric suffixes like PRESET.PNT, PRESET_1.PNT, PRESET_2.PNT in the TNC:\table directory.

Export and Archive Old Presets

Navigate to PGM MGT, select the preset table (PRESET.PNT), press BACKUP softkey, and save to external storage. Then delete obsolete or redundant preset entries using the DELETE PRESET function.

Always backup preset data before deletion - datum references cannot be recovered once deleted.

Consolidate Preset Tables

If multiple split tables exist, manually merge essential presets into a single table using the EDIT function in preset table mode. Keep total entries below 1800 to maintain operational margin.

Use systematic numbering (e.g., presets 1-999 for machine 1, 1000-1999 for machine 2) to avoid future consolidation issues.

Verify Table Accessibility

Return to operating mode (Manual or Program Run) and test access to specific presets using G54-G57 or extended presets. Confirm all required datums are accessible without errors.

Open Tool Table Editor

Press TOOL TABLE key (or access via PGM MGT > TNC:\table\TOOL.T), then press EDIT softkey. Check the highest tool number and count of active tools using the search function.

Use MOD > Machine Parameters > ToolTable to view configuration limits specific to your control generation.

Identify Split Tool Files

In file manager, navigate to TNC:\table\ directory and look for TOOL.T, TOOL_1.T, or similar numbered files. Check file sizes and timestamps to identify division event.

Do not manually delete or rename tool table files while the control is in automatic mode - this can cause tool management errors.

Consolidate Tool Data

Remove obsolete or duplicate tool entries. For numbered tools no longer in use, delete the entire row using DELETE function in tool table. Archive historical tool data to external storage.

Consider using tool name search (T="MILL_10") instead of high tool numbers to keep the table compact and maintainable.

Reorganize Tool Numbering

If using pocket table (TOOL_P.TCH), verify that pocket assignments are sequential and logical. Use TOOL MANAGEMENT > REORGANIZE function if available on your control generation to optimize table structure.

Access MOD Function

Press MOD key, navigate to System > Configuration Files, and identify which CFG file was divided. Look for the specific file name mentioned in alarm parameter '%2'.

Modifying configuration files requires appropriate access level - ensure you have machine parameter password (typically OEM level).

Review Configuration File

Open the divided configuration file using the integrated text editor (EDIT softkey in file manager). Look for duplicate sections, repeated parameter definitions, or unusually large data blocks.

CFG files should follow strict syntax - each section [SECTION] should be properly closed. The control divides files when parsing encounters structural errors or excessive section counts.

Validate Configuration Syntax

Use MOD > System Information > Log Files to check systemprotocol.txt for configuration parsing errors. Look for timestamps matching the alarm occurrence.

Search the log file for keywords like 'CONFIG', 'PARSE', or 'OVERFLOW' to quickly locate relevant entries.
