===== Creating New Motors =====

  - In the Motor Master form, create a new form using the **>*** button in the record navigator
  - New entry starts with the **{{wvds:i18n>pims_inventory_nr}}** (uniqueness check is performed automatically)
  - Select the motor type via the **"{{wvds:i18n>pims_motor_group}}"** dropdown
  - Use the **Tab key** to jump to the next field

<note>
Depending on the motor type, motor-specific fields appear in the detail section.
</note>

<note important>
For new entries, the motor is placed at the **{{wvds:i18n>pims_warehouse}}** location by default. The extended equipment number for the warehouse location is **950000** by default.
</note>

After entering the new motor, it is necessary to link the motor from the warehouse location to the equipment. The **{{wvds:i18n>pims_coupling}} function (A→B)** is used for this purpose.

===== Deleting Motors =====

<note warning>
Motor deletion can **only** be performed in status **V** (extended equipment number 990000)!
</note>

  * Motors with status "V" can be permanently removed from the database using the delete button in the form header
  * Recovery from the current data server state is no longer possible
  * Only {{wvds:i18n>pims_emr}} users have deletion rights

===== Motor Position Changes =====

Changes to motor positions are made via the **"{{wvds:i18n>pims_motor_mounting}}" (A→B)** function.

==== Single Motor Recoupling ====

  - Select the record
  - Click the **"{{wvds:i18n>pims_decouple}} Motor"** button
  - Switch to the new equipment
  - Click the **"{{wvds:i18n>pims_couple}} Motor"** button

<note tip>
For transferring motors from one {{wvds:i18n>pims_site}} to another, it is necessary to set the motor to **"{{wvds:i18n>pims_status_unknown}}"** status (equipment number 980000). This makes the motor available for general access.
</note>

==== Recoupling Multiple Motors ====

  - Select the entire record or multiple records (entire row highlighted in black)
  - For multiple motors: **"Right-click → Copy"** (not Cut!)
  - Move the cursor to the equipment where the motor should be attached → select the entire row
  - Click the **"Insert Motors"** button

<note>
When decoupling, a prompt appears asking whether the {{wvds:i18n>pims_kv}} circuit data should be deleted. If confirmed with **No**, the {{wvds:i18n>pims_kv}} allocation data is retained.
</note>

<note important>
Multiple motors can be attached to one piece of equipment. The {{wvds:i18n>pims_kv}} number is the number of the electrical connection at the equipment (e.g., 1st motor, 2nd motor, 3rd light for workstation at the motor).
