TLS Tag

The Tool Location System (TLS) tag, is a tool accessory. The TLS tag is installed on the tool and connected to the tool accessory bus. The TLS tag is part of the Ubisense positioning system and is handled independently from the controller. In addition to the positioning, the TLS tag can be used to provide information to the operator. Selected output signals can generate different LED light combinations.

Up to 10 different output signals can be mapped to a light priority.
