Up to nine edge data sets can be assigned to each tool, even though the
tool may not possess this many edges. In order to not waste memory, the
maximum number of edges can be reduced to one edge per tool by set-
ting the appropriate parameter in the system parameters.
The number of edges specified in the setup list must be met by the given
tool in the tool storage system before it can be used for the intended ma-
chining operation.
The tool status bits provide information on the status of the tool location
and the status of the tool if one is present in the tool location. The follow-
ing table shows the tool status bits used in the tool list.

The operator can lock or unlock tools using the tool locked status bit in
the tool list. In addition, up to eight application-specific status bits can be
assigned to the basic tool data of each tool. Preset them in the tool list.
The remaining tool-specific status bits such as:
•
tool done (worn out) (d)
•
warning limit reached (w)
•
tool used as primary tool (p) and
•
spare tool (s)
cannot be changed in the tool list. The only status bits which can be reset
via a reset function are „tool done“ and „warning limit reached" (see de-
scription of user interface "Tool Data Management").
