Requirements:

• It is assumed that the standard tool management option is installed in the SINUMERIK CNCs. SINUMERIK CNCs without standard tool management or with tool management that is specific to the machine manufacturer must be connected for the specific project.
• In the case of third-party control systems, the manageable tool data is reduced to a simplified tool data structure. The basic requirements are that the control panel must be Windows-based, the CNC must be accessible via Ethernet, and the interface must be OPC-compatible. Third-party controls are connected for the specific project.
• If tools stored in tool cabinets are to be recorded and managed, a user interface for loading and unloading the tools must be assigned to the respective storage location, e.g. a Windows PC integrated in the network.
