When touch-screen operator interface is connected to multiple devices, how can you reduce work of creating a screen?
Using the Indirect Device feature allows you to make communication with multiple connected devices with a screen or parts of GP-Pro EX.
It’s not necessary to create a screen or parts for each connected device and it’s possible to reduce man hours of creating a screen and volume of screen data.
