display. When Project display is selected, the device configuration registered to the project is displayed, and when Unit display is selected, information is displayed according to each device type. Switching between Project display and Unit display is performed by the [Project] and [Unit] tabs, respectively. Project display 2 Navigator AutoID OF
OUTLINE Display by project configuration Click the tabs to switch between display modes. Unit display Display by device type Display Tab Features The device configuration registered to the project is displayed. Project Parameters can be set up and managed by each currently registered device. When no devices are registered to the project, only the
project name is displayed. Devices that can be registered by AutoID Navigator are displayed by device type. Unit This feature is useful to batch-set parameters for a particular device type. However, the settings cannot be sent to or received from the devices connected via the NX-50 Series or the N-410 Series. 2 Navigator AutoID OF OUTLINE 2-2
Names and Functions of Screen Parts ■ System configuration and File constitution ["System configuration" and "File constitution" are indicated on the [Project] tab. "System configuration" hierarchically displays the devices registered to the project, and "File constitution" displays device setup files divided into type groups. System configuration Click to
select the configuration to be displayed from the list. Devices displayed hierarchically by component device File constitution Setup files displayed hierarchically by type group Display Configuration Features The system configuration for the project is displayed hierarchically by individual System configuration network. This allows you to set devices while
visually grasping the structure of the project. The configuration of the project is displayed hierarchically by file type. Files can be managed displayed by type (setup parameters, memory map and macros). File constitution The file name is indicated inside the brackets [ ], and files that are not yet saved during editing or after a change are suffixed with
"*". Setup files whose checkbox is marked in the file constitution display can be printed by the "Print" button at the bottom of the screen. Memory maps can be output as a CSV format file by the "Save Tag Map" button.

. . . . . . . .3-11 A "project file" is a file that integrates and manages all of the devices required for production processes. Devices to be connected to production processes can be managed efficiently by individual field network or master units. What Is a "Project"? On AutoID Navigator, the parameters of devices to be connected and memory mapor
macrorelated setups are managed as "projects." Projects are managed in individual folder, and each folder is called a "project folder." On AutoID Navigator, the following files are created in project folders. File names can be entered by the user. File File Type Description Project management system component information (device Project file (project
name).ain information, tag information) that indicates an individual production process (line) is saved to this file. These files save currently registered devices and network configurations. Parameter setup Setup parameters and other information of each device are saved config (number).aic to this file.
Files are saved for individual devices. Files can be file renamed. Memory map tagmap (number).ait The memory map information (memo) of IC tags is saved to this file file. Files are saved for individual IC tags.
Files can be renamed. Macro setup file macro (number).aim The macro operations of heads are saved to this file. Files are saved for individual macros. Files can be renamed. TerminalLogFile.log A log of communications performed by the terminal function is Log file saved to this file.
TestLogFile.csv The communication log of the test mode is saved to this file. ■ Project save destination Any folder for saving project data can be created when saving projects. Folders can freely managed, for example, by saving data in separate folders by individual project. The following describes how to create projects. Procedure for Creating a Project
The following shows the basic flow of operations for creating a project. 1 Registering devices and saving projects Register the devices that configure the system to the project, and save these devices as a project. "Registering Devices and Saving Projects" (page 3-4) 2 Setting parameters Set the parameters of the devices registered to the project. "How
to Set Parameters" (page 3-13) 3 Sending set parameters Send the parameters you have set up to the devices.
