Auto-Generation Menu

Commands of the Auto-Generation Menu

The Auto-Generation menu allows you to read the configuration of a multi carrier, a robot or a servo belt and to create the corresponding assemblies after having established a connection to the controller. As a prerequisite, the IP address and the connection parameters must be configured correctly and an OPC UA connection must be established. For further information on the prerequisites, refer to:

The Procedure for Starting the Emulation in the How to Emulate User Guide of the EcoStruxure Machine Expert online help.
The description of Creating Emulation Data in the Lexium™ MC multi carrier Configuration Guide of the EcoStruxure Machine Expert online help.

The menu is grouped in different sections:
