You now have the additional option of employing a new strategy, "Unit selection according to
conditions". Specific equipment properties are demanded in the conditions, for example, the
size of the unit (capacity of a silo) or the material composition of the silo shell.
Equipment properties are assigned to units in the ES configuration and requested as conditions
when creating recipes. When the equipment property matches the defined condition in the
recipe, the unit is offered for allocation.

7.1.7.2 Creating equipment properties
Requirement
The "Shared declarations" folder with the subfolder "Equipment properties" already exists in
the project in the SIMATIC Manager.
Procedure
1. Select the "Shared declarations" folder. In the shortcut menu, select Insert new object >
Equipment property.
2. Name the equipment property (name and display name).
3. From the drop-down list, select the desired data type and assign it an enumeration or unit
of measure. For the "Location" data type, assign the additional types "Source", "Destination"
and "Via". You will find more detailed information about these types in the documentation
for Route Control.
4. Complete your specifications in this dialog and confirm your entries with "OK".
Result
You can now assign this equipment property to your units. If you are working in a multiproject,
you can adjust your created equipment properties in the MP with the command Shared
Declarations > Update in Multiproject.
