Did you have a specific reason for converting this to PNG?

The .svg looked good in Chrome, Edge and Explorer but then I used Firefox and it was not showing the greyed out sections correctly.

I know we already do in some places, but it might be good to repeat the "don't use 6.07 with this library"-warning here.

I will add the warning

| ### [Optional] StateMachine Add-In | ||
|
|
||
| The purpose of the RobotWare Add-In is to *ease the setup* of ABB robot controllers. It is made for both *real physical controllers* and *virtual controllers* simulated in RobotStudio. If the Add-In is selected during a RobotWare system installation, then the Add-In will load several RAPID modules and system configurations based on the system specifications (e.g. number of robots and present options). |

And then what? What does it actually make easier? From this description it sounds like it "just" installs some files.
I seem to remember it actually also configures things for you. Perhaps clarify this a bit by adding a sentence that better describes what sort of work the add-in does which the user doesn't need to do any more.

Ah, yes, I will clarify that it makes up a ready-to-run RAPID program, which is also customizable. The intention is to use the Add-In together with external system that want to interact with the robot in some way. For example, the external system could contain all the decision making and it wants to use the robot as a “worker resource”.
It takes about 10-20 minutes to install a new robot system, and if the Add-In is included, then it should just be to connect the external system to the robot.
