Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access tool management via HMI: Press 'Offset' then 'Tool List' to display all existing tools.

  2. 2

    Search for the tool number that triggered the alarm. Verify if it already exists in the tool table or is assigned to a magazine location.

  3. 3

    Either delete the existing duplicate tool entry (if obsolete) or use a different tool number for the new tool creation.

    Deleting active tools may affect running programs. Verify tool is not referenced in active NC programs before deletion.
