Associating a Site with a Workcell
If you associate a site with a workcell, all NC sequences created in this workcell will inherit the parameters of this site. You can then modify individual NC sequence parameters on a case-by-case basis. If you modify a site associated with a workcell, or replace it with another site, all the NC sequence parameters inherited from this site (that is, those that have not been modified) will update automatically.
You can associate more than one site with a workcell, because different types of NC sequences created on a workcell may require different parameter settings. However, only one site of a particular type can be associated with the workcell. The table below lists the site types that may be associated with the each workcell type.

If both a sequence-specific and a generic site are associated with a workcell, the system will use the sequence-specific site for parameter inheritance.
