The following comparison of the setup list and the tool list illustrates how
they are used.

Purpose
Brings together the specification data
of all tools required for the machining
work.
Prepares and stores the actual data of
all tools present in the physical tool
storage.

Identification
The individual tools are identified based
on the tool number and the tool ID.
The individual tools are identified
based on the location and the tool ID.
Modification(possible
from the PC; SOT, SPS
program or NC-program)
The setup lists cannot be changed
within the controller.
The active tool list data can be modi-
fied in the controller, even when the
program is executing.
Modification by the
controller
The controller does not perform modi-
fication.
Within the controller, the remaining
tool life and the wear condition are up-
dated at specified times.
General organization
Setup lists are always included in an
NC-program package.
Each tool list is handled separate from
other tool lists or data.
Organization on the user
interface
Station-specific setup lists:
A setup list can be established for
each process (station) within an NC-
program package.
NC-program specific setup lists:
A setup list can be established for
each program within an NC-program
package.
Up to 99 different tool lists can be ma-
naged for each process on the PC,
one in the control as the Active Tool
List.
Loading into the controller
The setup lists which are present in an
NC-program package are all loaded
together into the NC-programs.
Each tool list is loaded independently
of other tool lists or data.
Activation
Setup lists are loaded with the NC-
program package into memory A or B,
and they are selected for use from this
memory.
A prepared tool list is loaded in the
controller for each process which uses
a tool management.
Archiving
Backup is performed automatically
with the NC-program package.
Tool lists are archived individually.
