Detailed Description   
2.1 Tool 
  Tool Compensation (W1) 
2-4  Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0 
Tools 
The TO memory consists of tools numbered T1 to T32000. 
Each tool can be set up via TOA files or individually, using the "New tool" soft key. 
Compensation values not required must be assigned the value zero.  
This is the default setting when the compensation memory is created. The individual values 
in the compensation memory (tool parameters) can be read and written from the program 
using system variables. 
 
 
Note 
The tools (T1 to T32000) do not have to be stored in ascending order or contiguously in the 
tool compensation memory, and the first tool does not have to be assigned number T1. 
 
Tool cutting edges 
Each tool can have up to 9 cutting edges (D1 to D9). The first cutting edge (D1) is set up 
automatically when a new tool is loaded in the tool compensation memory. Other cutting 
edges (up to 8) are set up consecutively and contiguously using the "New cutting edge" soft 
key. A different number of tool cutting edges can assigned to each tool in this way.
