Figure 93: Assignments View
The Assignments View is used to tie a source to a destination. Destinations are functions that need to be triggered, such as Index Initiates,
Program Initiates, Jog Initiates and so on.
Sources are located on the left side of the Assignment View and reflect events that occur in the drive. These events are based on drive activity.
By expanding individual groups, you will see more detailed parameters. For example, in an Epsilon EP-P drive configuration if you expand the
Inputs source group, you will see DriveInput.1 through DriveInput.15, as shown in Figure 93. You can use these events to trigger certain
actions (or destinations) on the right side of the view.
To make an assignment, a source must be tied to a destination. Any source can be tied to any destination to create the desired system
operation.
3.27.1 Creating An Assignment
Various methods can be used to tie a source (such as DriveInput.1) to a destination, (such as Index.0.Initiate).
Drag and Drop Method
First, position the mouse pointer over the source on the left to assign to the destination on the right. Press the left mouse button while over the
source, and hold the button down. While holding the left button down, drag the source until the pointer is positioned over the desired
destination and release the left mouse button.
Destinations can also be dragged over to sources, see Figure 94.
Assign Button Method
Click on both the source and destination you wish to assign to each other. Once both are selected, the Assign button in the lower left corner of
the view will become enabled. Click the Assign button to complete the assignment. Figure 93 shows the source and destination highlighted,
and the Assign button available to click on.
Once an assignment has been made, you will see the “Assigned to..” and the “Set From” columns filled in for the specific sources and
destinations. This indicates what destination(s) an individual source has been assigned to, and what source(s) an individual destination is
assigned to.
Any source can be assigned to up to ten different destinations maximum. Any destination can have as many sources as desired assigned to it.
3.27.2 Deleting An Assignment
Delete Button Method
Click on the source or destination you wish to delete. Once selected, the Delete button will become available. Click the Delete button to
remove the assignment.
Right Click Method
Position the pointer over the specific assignment to delete then right click. A selection box will appear. From this selection box, choose Delete.
After either of these procedures, the assignment will disappear.
