Hardware List
The hardware list shows the devices in which EDS files have been installed.
To simplify searching, it is divided into Vendor and Device Type groups.
The same devices are found in each of these groups, and can be selected
from whichever one is easiest to search.
Devices can be added to the network by selecting them from the hardware list
and dragging them into the Network Configuration Window.
Vendor Group
When the Configurator is first installed, the Vendor group contains only
OMRON hardware. If products (containing EDS files) from other manufactur-
ers are installed, their list will automatically be built.
Device Type Group
The Device Type group consists of the following types of devices.
Devices will not be displayed in the hardware list unless they have had an
EDS file installed.
Note
The hardware list can be moved left/right and up/down, removed for use as a
separate window, or closed.
• To move or remove for use as a separate window

arate window, drag it to the center of, or outside, the Network Configura-
tion Window.
