Setting range 0 to 99999 Unit /min
Element 10 Feed rate (F)
Setting range 0 to 99999999 Unit mm/min inch/min deg/min mm/rev inch/rev
Element 11 Magazine number This data is read-only; it cannot be used for writing data.
Element 12 Pot number This data is read-only; it cannot be used for writing data.
Element 13 Tool geometric compensation number (G) This data is Turning system only.
Element 14 Tool wear compensation number (W) This data is Turning system only.
Note: If the first element of the array point, element 0, has a value of 0, this indicates that this tool does not exist. If this is the case, then you should not try to set the other elements of this array point.
