I've been trying to understand the system variables #5021~#5035. In the Fanuc oi MC manual, it says:
#5021~#5035 are the current axis position, in Machine coordinate system and tool offset value included.
What does "tool offset value included" mean?
This confuses me. Because in my opinion, I believe the values of these variables are equals to the values showed on the "Machine" position display on the screen. At the meantime, the machine position display always shows the position of the spindle gauge line. Thus when G43 is used, unlike WCS values, they keep the same value. How would the "tool offset value" be included then?
