Tool management
12.2 Configuring the user interface
As a consequence of this configuration, the tool icons are output with reference to their
position depending on the channel. Every channel can be assigned a position using the
channel machine data MD52000 MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM. If a tool is at a
magazine location which is assigned a channel via this configuration, then the tool icon is
output depending on this position that has been set.
This setting option is only available for turning. This can be especially helpful if, on a multi-
channel machine, a magazine is used before the turning center and another magazine after
the turning center. This means that the tools can be entered into the tool list in a position
visible for the operator.
