Navigate to tool management: Press OFFSET key, select 'Tool List' or 'Tool Data' menu.

Locate the affected tool number and review monitoring parameters. Check for non-zero values in both life monitoring fields (e.g., time limit, wear limit) and quantity monitoring fields.

Decide which monitoring method is required: tool life (based on time/parts/length) OR quantity monitoring (sister tool management). Set unused method parameters to zero.

Changing monitoring type may affect automatic tool change behavior and part quality tracking

Save changes and reset the alarm. Test tool change sequence in single block mode to verify correct monitoring behavior.

Review the active NC program around the line where the alarm occurred. Look for tool management commands like SETPIECE, NEWT, or $TC_DP parameters being written.

Check for simultaneous setting of life monitoring variables ($TC_DP3, $TC_DP4, $TC_DP5) and quantity monitoring ($TC_DP24, $TC_DP25) in the same tool definition block.

Modify the program or macro to set only one monitoring type. Comment out or remove conflicting parameter assignments.

Ensure program logic accounts for the single monitoring method before running production

Reload the corrected program, reset the machine, and dry-run the tool change sequence to verify proper operation.

Access tool management via HMI: Commissioning → Tool Management → Tool Data. Identify recently imported or duplicated tools showing the alarm.

Export current tool data to backup before making changes. Compare with source data to identify which monitoring fields were incorrectly populated.

Always maintain backup of working tool data before bulk modifications

Correct the source template or import file to include only one monitoring type per tool. Clear conflicting fields by setting them to zero.

Re-import corrected tool data or manually correct affected tools. Verify each tool has only life OR quantity monitoring active using the tool list display.
