1. A food processing machine which is configured as a packaging machine for manufacturing packages from a packaging material, the food processing machine comprising a plurality of tool parts which are exchangeable and which each comprise at least one electronic data storage, in which a tool identification is stored for identifying the respective tool parts, as well as a controlling system which is connected with the data storages for reading the tool identifications stored therein, wherein the controlling system is configured to determine, based on the tool identification read from the at least one electronic data storage of an exchangeable tool part of the plurality of tool parts installed at the food processing machine, processes basically implementable with the exchangeable tool part which are possible for an operation of the exchangeable tool part, and furthermore to determine an intersection of detailed processes by a comparison of the processes basically implementable with the exchangeable tool part with processes basically performable by means of the food processing machine based on machine equipment employed for the exchangeable tool part and firmly installed in the food processing machine, by means of which the exchangeable tool part can be controlled by means of the machine equipment provided for the exchangeable tool part.
