Machine Controller Setup
6.
Turn OFF the INIT and CNFG pins on the DIP switch (SW1) on the MP3000-series Con-
troller.

The following procedure performs a new self configuration of the CPU Module, and creates
new definition files.
1.
Turn OFF the power supply to the Base Unit.
2.
Turn ON only the INIT and CNFG pins on the DIP switches (mode switches) on the CPU
Module.
3.
Turn ON the power supply to the Base Unit.
Self configuration will be executed.
4.
Confirm that the status indicators on the CPU Module change in the following way:
•
RDY: Goes out, and then lights.
•
RUN: Goes out, flashes, and then lights.
1. INIT Pin on the DIP Switch and RAM Data
If the power supply is turned ON while the INIT pin on the Machine Controller DIP switch is
turned ON, the data stored in the RAM will be deleted. If the power supply is turned ON while
the INIT pin is OFF, the data from the flash memory will be loaded and it 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 flash memory of the Machine Controller in order to maintain
the RAM data.
2. Power Interruptions after Self Configuration
After performing the self configuration, do not turn OFF the power supply to the Machine Con-
troller until the definition data is saved in the flash memory of the Machine Controller. If by
chance, the power supply is turned OFF, perform the self configuration again. Refer to the fol-
lowing section for information on saving data to the flash memory.
Saving to Flash Memory (page 4-69)
1. Before performing this procedure, turn ON the power supply to the SERVOPACKs and other
devices.
2. This procedure will clear the following data:
•
All definition files
•
All user programs
•
All registers
STOP
E-INIT
