Modifying Coolant setting

[Hertz]

Hey guys, I just had a quick question to mod a coolant setting. On the machine I have, M140 turns on an air blast and M141 turns it off. I am not on maintenance so I would like to try to get this to work without calling the dealer. I don't really need anything fancy. I just want to edit the M07 mist coolant to be M140 air blow instead in my coolant properties. Is this a simple process and if so, could someone lend me a hand to do it?

Hertz, very simple to do if using the X style coolant.

Change the section below the M88, M89 or just change them. Will need to go into the Control Definition through the Machine Manager to have them come up with what you have changed.

 

If you are using the V9 style not an easy task so need to know what you are using to help you proceed forward.

Using X6 MU3. That worked great. Thank you very much.

Only thing though is it did not output the off switch.

Need to see if that section of the post is commented out. If so need to allow it back in to shut off the coolant.

I took a screenshot of my coolant settings in the post. Note where the M140 and M141 are, were M07 and M09 before. I tried both ways and it does not turn it off. Turns on no problem though. Where else would I check to fix that?
