Use the context menus offered when you are editing the
project window if you are using a mouse or similar pointing
device.
You can carry out many actions more simply and more
quickly by selecting the appropriate command.
2.2.1 Editing hardware
You can simulate and configure the components of your posi
tioning system in the hardware area. Do this by inserting the
existing components of the positioning system into the pro
ject window.
All connected hardware is tested and detected when you
switch on the SPC200.
The hardware configuration of an existing system can be
uploaded from the SPC200 in Online mode (Project upload,
Hardware upload).
Individual components are always inserted in the appropriate
point in the tree structure of the project window. The SPC200
is directly under the hardware. Positioning axes and I/O mod
ules should be assigned to an axis interface string or step
ping motor interface.
