3.2 Function Modules
Self Configuration
3-40
5.
Turn OFF the INIT and CNFG pins on the SW1 DIP switch on the CPU Unit.
After Adding SERVOPACKs, Optional Modules, and Other Devices
The following procedure will create the definitions for devices and Function Modules that are newly
detected by MECHATROLINK communications. This procedure will not update any of the definitions
that were made for existing devices and Function Modules. The definitions before self configuration will
be retained.
1.
Turn OFF the power supply to the CPU Unit.
2.
Turn ON only the CNFG pin on the SW1 DIP switch on the CPU Unit.
3.
Turn ON the power supply to the CPU Unit.
Self configuration will be executed.
1. INIT Pin on the DIP Switch and RAM Data
If the power supply is turned OFF and ON again when the INIT pin on the Machine Controller SW1
DIP switch is turned ON, the data in RAM will be cleared.
If the power supply is turned OFF and ON again when the INIT pin is turned OFF, the data from the
flash memory will be loaded and will overwrite the RAM data. Therefore, if the power supply must
be turned OFF while writing or editing a program, make sure you save the data to the Machine Con-
troller’s flash memory to protect the RAM data.
2. Power Interruptions after Self Configuration
After performing self configuration, turn OFF the power supply to the Machine Controller only after
the definition data is saved to the flash memory of the Machine Controller.
If by chance, the power supply is turned OFF before the data is saved, perform self configuration
again.
Refer to the following manual for details on saving data to the flash memory.

(Manual No.: SIEP C880725 00)
Before performing this procedure, turn ON the power supply to the SERVOPACKs and other devices.
