Data storage and management is carried out in the NCK. All data can be read
and written by manual entry, via the initialization program, or by data transfer.
Operation is performed via system screens.
When using tool management a tool can be called using another name, e.g.
"Roughing tool_80".
The tool can still also be called using a T no. (tool number). The T no. is then
the name of the tool.
Separate PLC blocks are available for tool management to handle communica-
tion between NCK and PLC.
With ShopTurn on NCU (HMI embedded) a maximum of 250 tools can be set
up; on the PCU 50.3 the maximum number of tools is limited by MD 18082
