Motor Catalog

How to get into Motor Catalog?

Access to the Motor Catalog is possible from the supervisor. Two types of access are possible: partial access and full access.

1. Partial access to Motor Catalog:

   One can edit an existing motor via Motor Catalog from the supervisor.

   Table 1. FluxMotor – Supervisor – Edit a motor from catalogs

   1	Select the button “Edit an existing motor via Motor Catalog”.
   2	Selection of the catalog type: Reference or User catalog in which are available catalogs of motors.
   3	List of motors stored in the selected catalog.
   4	Picture of the selected motor.
   5	Button to visualize the attached documents (if there are any). Note: Documents can be attached only from the Motor Catalog application and for the user catalogs.
   6	Button to display thumbnails as a slide show, as a list or as a matrix view of pictures.
   7	Once selected the motor can be opened in Motor Factory either by double clicking on the corresponding line or by clicking on the button “Open in Motor Factory”.

   A selection tree allows visualizing the machines and selecting them in a more user-friendly way.

   Hence, once the type of catalog is selected, either Reference or User, the user can display all the available catalogs in the whole area for more visibility, as illustrated below.

   Note: It is not possible to manage either the motors, the catalogs or projects via partial access. Only the visualization and the selection of catalogs and then the edition of motors is possible.

   Table 2. FluxMotor – Supervisor – Edit a motor from catalogs - Selection tree dedicated to either Reference or User catalogs

   1	“Edit”: To select and edit a project from the catalogs, standard and user catalogs, like what can be done when using Motor Catalog.
   1.1	The reference catalogs have been selected and are deployed, and others (User) are folded.
   1.2	The user catalogs have been selected and are deployed, and others (Reference) are folded.

2. Full access to Motor Catalog:

   One can get into the Motor catalog environment to manage either the motors, the catalogs or projects.

   Table 3. FluxMotor – Supervisor – Edit a motor from catalogs
