How to edit a motor?

1. Motor from the reference catalogs

   Edit a motor allows modifying its general data and properties by using Motor Factory.

   As all the motors from reference catalogs are in read only mode, before editing such a motor, user must copy it in a user’s catalog.

   A dedicated dialog box allows doing that quickly, as it is shown below.

   Table 1. Edit a motor from reference catalogs

   1	Selection of the motors area of the Motor Catalog application.
   2	Selection of a reference catalog.
   3	Selection of one motor in the selected catalog. This motor is displayed in the central area.
   4	Click on the icon “Edit”.
   5	As a motor from reference catalog is considered, a dialog box allows copying the selected motor in a user’s catalog. Note: When one selects a motor from a user’s catalog, this dialog box is not displayed. Motor Factory is then opened without any additional question.
   5a	Give a name to the motor.
   5b	Choose a user’s catalog in which the copied motor will be stored.

2. Motor from User’s catalogs

   In this case, as the motor is not in a “Read only” mode, it allows opening the motor directly with the Motor Factory application, which can be used to read or/and modify its characteristics.
