4.1.5 MP2300 Self-configuration

SERVOPACK is ON.
2.
Turn OFF the 24-VDC power supply to the MP2300.
3.
Turn ON the INIT and CNFG switches on the DIP switch (SW1) on the MP2300 Basic Module.
4.
Turn ON the 24-VDC power supply to the MP2300.
Check that the LED indicators on the MP2300 Basic Module change as the following illustration.
5.
Turn OFF the INIT and CNFG switches on the DIP switch (SW1) on the MP2300 Basic Module.
This completes the self-configuration, and the information of Optiotional Modules and MECHATROLINK slave
devices are read in the definition information file.
Power Restart and RAM data Clear
If the INIT switch on the DIP switch on the Basic Module is ON and the power is turned ON, RAM data will be cleared.
Also, flash memory data will be read and RAM data will be overwritten when the INIT switch is OFF and the power is turned
ON. In either case, the RAM data will be cleared by turning the power ON. Therefore, always save data to the MP2300 flash
memory before turning OFF the power when writing or editing programs.
For information on how to save data to flash memory, refer to
4.2.3 ( 1 ) Saving to Flash Memory
on page 4-21 (MPE720 Ver
6.
) or
4.3.2 ( 6 ) Saving to Flash Memory
on page 4-40 (MPE720 Ver 5.
).
Turning OFF Power after Executing Self-configuration
Do not turn OFF the 24-VDC power supply to the MP2300 after executing self-configuration until the definitions data has been
saved to flash memory in the MP2300. If the power is turned OFF somehow before the data is saved to flash memory, execute
self-configuration again.
