TS27 tool breakage alarm text message

[Scanfab]

I am integrating a renishaw TS27 tool length measuring probe into a 4th axis machine of mine and want to set lengths of tools with it, but also after a tool is finished machining, will use the probe for tool breakage detection. Im sure I can program the machine to stop if tool is broken, but to my question: What kind of alarm does the control give when the tool breakage detection has been activated, I need an output to send a ping to a GSM module to send me a text message(sms) so I can come to work and tend to problem. Run time on machine is 8 hours, would hate to come back after 8 hours and find a tool broke after 6 mins of running... Where can I fing this output?

Here is one sample of broken tool detection. With the macro language you can be creative:

Trying to soak up the macro program, not my everyday code I spit out.. I get the jist, have read the manuals probe section a few times.

N15#INPUT V99 what is the input v99 in this?

Thanks for your help, I'll keep everyone in the loop on how tool breakage text messages from multiple FADALS are sent!! Also msgs for low air/oil...

The #INPUT V99 halts the execution of the program and the screen display so that the operator can read it. It waits for the operator to hit the enter key or input a zero value to continue. This could also be used to input any data that you would require if the programming structure is configured taht way.
