Materials List
Overview When you have finished configuring the I/O area of your system, you may want to
know what materials are required to create the hardware system as configured. The
material list function creates a list of all required materials (as configured) and their
associated part numbers.
When the materials list is first launched it will generate a list of materials required by
the selected project. The materials list will be created from the project if offline or
from the controller if online. On a second launch of the materials list the data will be
read from the project rather than generated. You can add prices and comments to
existing materials as well as add new materials to the list. The materials list can then
be printed or saved to HTML, MS Excel or MS Word.
