Abstract
In order to provide an operating method for a machine tool and to propose a system which enables the monitoring of the installation, position and the like of tools in a respective machine without the need for major construction work, the disclosure proposes a system for assigning tools mounted on rams to an installation position on a machine, which consists of a writable RFID chip with a transponder, memory and passive digital inputs positioned on the ram, and an electrically switchable contact panel positioned at a connection position of the machine, whereby the contacts of the contact panel can make contact with the digital inputs and the RFID chip transmits at least one identifier and the assignment of the digital inputs during a query process.

A system for assigning tools mounted on rams to an installation position in a machine, comprising:
- a RFID chip,
- which is arranged on a ram,
- which is writeable,
- which has a transponder,
- which has a memory,
- which has passive digital inputs,
- and
- an electrically switchable contact panel,
- with contacts,
- which is arranged on a tool holder of the machine,
- wherein the contacts of the contact panel can be contacted to the digital inputs of the RFID chip, and
- the RFID chip transmits at least one identifier and the assignment of the digital inputs during a query process.
