Tool Configuration - Vibrator

Tools equipped with a vibrator can be configured to emit vibrations for different signals.

The vibrator is configured by assigning a vibration pattern to a signal selected from a list. A vibration signal can have a priority between 1 and 10, where 1 is the highest priority and 10 the lowest. By default a signal and vibration have the priority 5.

A vibration signal runs until termination unless it is interrupted by a signal with higher priority.

Select a controller in the Plant structure workspace .
Select the Configurations icon in the top-side menu bar in the workspace area.

The workspace area displays a list of configurations.
Double-click on a configuration row that has Tool configuration in the Type column.

Alternatively, select Add to create a new tool configuration.
Double-click on a configuration to open the selected configuration menu.
