Add a Multicarrier Configuration Object

NOTE: A PacDrive LMC Pro2 controller must be available in your project to be able to add a Multicarrier Configuration object. Only one Multicarrier Configuration object can be added as sub node of the Application node.

Step	Action	Result / Comment
1	Right-click the Application node in the Devices tree.	–
2	Execute the command Add Object > Multicarrier Configuration... from the contextual menu.	The Add Multicarrier Configuration dialog box is displayed.
3	Confirm with the Add button. The Name cannot be modified.	A Multicarrier Configuration object is added as a sub node of the Application node in the Devices tree. The Multicarrier Configuration editor is displayed.

Alternatively, to create / open a Multicarrier Configuration object, you can add a Lexium MC Track device to the Sercos Master node (or a Lexium MC Carrier Pool device to the controller node) in the Devices tree and double-click the object. As a result, the device editor is displayed that contains a Multicarrier Configuration tab. This tab allows you to open or to create a Multicarrier Configuration object (if not already available).
