Thanks for pointing to the Manual, I was not aware that this document changed. :)

I got it working now. One thing I added was the Airblast when picking up / putting away the tool by rewriting M24 and M25.

However, there is also the Airblast Button in the GUI. Is it actually connected to something?

Another point is that the ATC seems to forget the traverse Feedrate every time I start linuxcnc. When picking up a tool I get the error "Cannot do g1 with zero Feed rate" and have to go into the Rack Setup and click "Update rack parameters" (although the Feedrate is stated correctly here).

I now know that clicking "Ref Rack data"  loads the Tools that are stored in the Rack. Unfortunately, It doesn't use the Tool Table "Rack" coloumn as I understood. 
I assume this would require a Python script to read the tool table and make it usable via Gcode?

Thank you for your patience by the way, really appreciated!

You need to update the var file parameters, also in the docs.

I'm not sure what you mean about the tool table and the rack the rack stores tools the tool data is stored in the tool table. The rack holds whatever tools you put in it they don't have to be in order it tracks them persistently as long as you have the var file set up. When a tool is loaded from the rack and you use the offset for stored in the tool table everything works as expected it works perfectly fine with cheat code. You call the tool not the rack number.
