Loading and unloading tools

You can load and unload tools to and from a magazine via the tool list. When a tool is
loaded, it is taken to a magazine location. When it is unloaded, it is removed from the
magazine and stored in the tool list.
When you are loading a tool, the application automatically suggests an empty location. You
may also directly specify an empty magazine location.
You can unload tools from the magazine that you are not using at present. HMI sl then
automatically saves the tool data in the tool list in the NC memory outside the magazine.
Should you want to use the tool again later, simply load the tool with the tool data into the
corresponding magazine location again. Then the same tool data does not have to be
entered more than once.
