# Introduction to the node editor

The node editor allows you to define the structure of the palletizing cell, setting the position of the various elements, as well as defining their operating parameters.

# Preliminary considerations

For the correct use of this module, it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the different types of palletizing lines, as well as the relevant parameters for their configuration.

# User interface

The node editor displays a work area on which to add/modify the nodes that represent the different elements that make up the cell you wish to program.

# Nodes

For the configuration of a palletizing cell, in the Wepall software, it is necessary to design a node scheme. Each node will represent its equivalent physical element forming the installation.

And the connection between them, the interrelationship between the different elements.

Each combination of elements linked by an arrow represents a recipe that can be associated with a mosaic.

# Elements of a node

# Equivalence of each palletizing element and its node

# Add nodes

To add a node in the work area, click on the '+' button at the top left of the screen, a drop-down menu will open where you can select the type of node you want to add.

# Connecting nodes

Once you have added the desired nodes, just click and drag from the right side of the node, represented by the arrowhead, and then drag to the node you want to link.

# Node configuration

1. Click on the pencil icon✏️. A menu of options will be displayed on the right side.
2. Edit the block properties following the instructions in the Wepall manual.
3. Do this for all the nodes in your schematic to get your palletizing line set up correctly.
