Configuring the Tool Location System Tag (TLS)
A StepSync controller does not support this accessory.
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.
