Siemens sinumerik controller (not sure of the specific version)
Machine has attempted to pick up tool 3 into the spindle from the magazine but the tool was not correctly located into the tool pocket by the operator so instead of the spindle picking the tool up it just pushed it straight down breaking the pocket and dropping the tool onto the machine bed.
Problem now is that the controller information is saying that tool 3 is in the spindle which is fine as we can manually put tool 3 into the spindle but we can’t the put tool 3 back into the magazine with the atc as the tool pocket 3 is broken so need to leave the spindle empty and edit our programme to use a different pocket for the desired tool which we can do. What we need advice on is how do we change the tool status of the machine to think it has T zero in the spindle please and T3 to show in mag position 3 in the tool page.
