Inserting formulas into the parameters of installed components

Formulas must also be inserted for the parameters of the installed components:

  1. Open the Axis Functionunit.
  2. Select the installed Cylinder component.
  3. Enter the following formula for the Symbol parameter:
=mc.$Symbol_Cylinder
  1. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the following data:
Installed component Parameter Value
Position_1 Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_1
Position_2 Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_2
Position_3 Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_3
Position_4 Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_4
  1. Repeat steps 1 and 3 for the following Function units:
Functionunit Installed component Parameter Value
Gripper Valve Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Valve
Pressuresensor Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Pressuresensor
Orientationinspector Positionssensor_optical Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_1
Separator Cylinder Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Cylinder
Position_1 Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_1
Position_2 Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_2
Stack Positionssensor_optical Symbol =mc.$Symbol_Position_1
