PCI-DMC-A01 / PCI-DMC-B01
3.2 EzDMC Connection Procedure
When you have set up the PCI-DMC-A01 card and connection modules (e.g. drives and
motors), if you wish to use EzDMC to test the serial link, you must carry out the following
testing and operating procedure in order.
Step 1: Open EzDMC.
Step 2: Find master PCI-DMC-A01 card. (see section 3.3)
Step 3: Find connected expansion modules. (see section 3.4)
Step 4: Connect to the expansion module's serial 1-axis and multi-axis motion control
functions. (see section 3.6 and 3.7)
Step 5: End expansion module control.
Step 6: Reset PCI-DMC-A01 card. (see section 3.8)
Step 7: Close EzDMC.
3.3 Finding the PCI-DMC-A01
The first menu function (marked with a bracket) is the "Search Card" function for finding the
PCI-DMC-A01 card. All the PCI cards and their setup in the system can be found using this
function as shown below in Fig. 3.2. When Search Card is completed, the device list shows
the status of all found cards as well as the number and setup of master cards.
Figure 3.2
If the first menu function (Search Card) does not find any PCI-DMC-A01 cards, the "No
PCI_DMC_A01 Card Found!" error will pop up as shown in Fig. 3.3. Please check that your
PCI-DMC-A01 card is properly installed in the system. Or turn off the power and remove the
card. Follow the "2.2.3 Physically Installing the Card" process to reinstall the PCI-DMC-A01
card on a free PCI slot on the system before trying to find the PCI-DMC-A01 card again.
