ID devices are equipment that can read identification information from, and write result data to, the work
piece.
If the device is connected to a PowerMACS Station the information read from an ID device may be added
to the tightening data, as the station level result variable "Wp ID", or the Multiple identifier result variables
"ID Res x". See description of Work piece identifier and Multiple identifiers in chapter: Advanced Station
Settings for how to configure this.
The data read from an ID device is also available to the PowerMACS PLC making it possible to process it
as wished.
Note! To create a new ID device or to change the communication settings for a device you must use the
System Map.
Depending on the type of the ID device the frame Type specific parameters displays different controls.
For a detailed description of these see chapter: ID device.
