A maximum of 64 tools can be stored in the control system.
1.6.3 Tool offset number D (turning)
Functionality
It is possible to assign 1 to 9 data fields with different tool offset blocks (for multiple cutting
edges) to a specific tool. If a special cutting edge is required, then it can be programmed
using D and the appropriate number.
If a D word is not written, D1 is automatically effective.
If D0 is programmed, the offsets for the tool are ineffective.
Programming
D... ; Tool offset number: 1 ... 9, D0: No offsets active!
A maximum of 64 data fields (D numbers) for tool offset blocks can be stored simultaneously
in the control system:

Information
Tool length compensations become effective immediately when the tool is active; when no D
number was programmed with the values of D1.
