Tool Configuration
With the Tool Configuration it is possible to activate and configure various functions related to the tool. Each tool configuration can be mapped to a tool in Hardware Layout Configuration.
To view or edit a tool configuration menu:
Select a controller in the Plant structure workspace
. Click Configurations
in the Menu bar.The workspace area displays the current accessory configurations.
Add a new configuration or double click on an existing configuration with the type being a tool configuration.
Make necessary configurations. The parameters are described in each section.
The tool configuration is divided into the following menus:
Menu | Description |
|---|---|
Properties | Configuration name and description and a tool type filter. |
General | General parameters for the tool. |

Properties
The Tool configuration should be given a unique name. An optional description field is also available.
The accessory configuration list displays all configurations in an alphabetical order
To view or edit a tool configuration menu:
Select a controller in the Plant structure workspace
.Select the Configuration icon
