Tool protection area

Parameterize model use in the "Tool protection area" window.
You define from where the control retrieves data to generate the machine model.
Further, you define the parameters to monitor and display the element.
For a protection area, the protection area element is automatically taken from the tool
management data. For instance, if you define a tool protection area for a tool in the spindle,
then for a tool change (M6), a new tool protection area element is created with the data of
the new tool.
Note
Attaching a tool protection area
"Frame" type tool protection area elements may be attached to tool protection areas.
