The tool catalog contains only "ideal" tools.
"Ideal" tools are characterized by the relevant tool "master data" (i.e.,
with ideal tool dimensions, no wear, etc.). An "ideal" tool is uniquely
defined by its "tool name".
The tool cabinet contains "real" tools only.
"Real" tools (i.e., real tool dimensions, with wear, etc.) are
characterized by the relevant tool "offset data". A "real" tool is uniquely
defined by its "tool name" and the associated "Duplo number". It is the
"Duplo number" that assigns actual data to a "real" tool.
If a connection to a host computer exists, a message is automatically
output to this host computer when a tool is loaded (but not relocated),
unloaded or deleted, and the corresponding data block is transferred.
The data are then still available on the host computer even after the
tool has been deleted.

The tool management system offers various tool types for selection.
You can assign geometric and technological data to the tool types in
order to set up your master tool data. Several versions of each tool
can exist. You can assign the current data of the tool used (particular
tool data) to these versions.
You start the tool management function from the "Parameters"
operating area by pressing the relevant softkey.
The machine manufacturer configures which list is to be displayed
when the tool management system is called up. In the example
shown, the current "Magazine list" is displayed.
