You can edit the following data in the input screen :

• Monitoring type
• Status (enabled, disabled, measured, etc.)
• Tool user data (Omit; x = 1...10)
• D numbers
• Tool name
• Duplo number
• Tool type, only in magazine list and tool list
The tool data name, duplo number and type can only be changed if
the option has been enabled by the machine manufacturer. If the
option is not activated you cannot make any changes. These data are
permanently defined when a new tool is created.
New cutting edges are created for the displayed tool. A cutting edge
number to which no D number has yet been assigned is automatically
selected in the table.
When you have allocated a D number, the value is displayed in red
(the cutting edge has not yet been created). Select "Cutting edge
data" in the vertical softkey bar. The selected cutting edge is created.
Default values are assigned to the cutting edge data and the
corresponding table is displayed. Enter any necessary changes.
You can use the "Cutting edge +" and "Cutting edge -" softkeys to
display and, if necessary, edit the data of the other cutting edges.
The data are updated immediately.
Press the "<<" softkey to return to the Tool details input screen. The
new cutting edge is defined. The display color changes.
Additional information
If twelve cutting edges have already been defined for the tool, you
must delete one of the cutting edges (via softkey) before you can
create a new one.
The machine manufacturer can limit the maximum permissible number
of cutting edges for each tool to a smaller number. The default setting
is nine cutting edges.
