Turn off the machine and then turn it back on the control.
Manually move the carousel to the home position. You might need to do this by hand or using the control panel.
Access the tool management menu and look for an option to reinitialize or resync the tool data.
Make sure that the tool offsets are correctly set for each tool position in the control.
Run a Test after syncing, run a test to see if calling up T1 picks T1 and so on.
