Hardware List

Vendor Group
Device Type Group
The hardware list shows the devices in which EDS files have been installed.
To simplify searching, it is divided into Vendor and Device Type groups.
The same devices are found in each of these groups, and can be selected
from whichever one is easiest to search.
Devices can be added to the network by selecting them from the hardware list
and dragging them into the Network Configuration Window.
When the Configurator is first installed, the Vendor group contains only
OMRON hardware. If products (containing EDS files) from other manufactur-
ers are installed, their list will automatically be built.
The Device Type group consists of the following types of devices.
Device type
General Purpose
Discrete I/O
Communications
Adapter
Human-Machine
Interface
AC Drives
Position Controller

Devices will not be displayed in the hardware list unless they have had an
EDS file installed.

separate window, or closed.

tion Window.
