Self Configuration
This section gives the self configuration procedures.
Self configuration is a feature that automatically recognizes all the Optional Modules that are
installed in the Machine Controller and all the slave devices that are connected via the MECHA-
TROLINK connector (such as Servo Drives), and creates the module configuration definition
files based on that information.
3.4.1
Self Configuration Using the DIP Switch
This section describes the self configuration procedure using the DIP switch.
The following procedure performs a new self configuration of all Modules, and creates new
definition files.
Before performing this procedure, turn ON the power supply to the SERVOPACKs and other
devices, and open the project file that you created.
MP3200
1.
Turn OFF the power supply to the MP3000-series Controller.
2.
Insert the Optional Modules into the slots.
3.
Turn ON the INIT and CNFG pins on the DIP switch (SW1) on the MP3000-series Con-
troller.
4.
Turn ON the power supply to the MP3000-series Controller.
5.
Confirm that the status indicators on the MP3000-series Machine Controller change in
the following ways:
•
RDY: Goes out, and then lights.
•
RUN: Goes out, flashes, and then lights.
1. Refer to the following section when you perform self configuration for the first time after con-
necting the devices.
Self Configuration Using the DIP Switch (page 3-10)
2. If the Machine Controller and the MPE720 are already connected, the self configuration can be
performed by using the MPE720.

Important
This procedure will delete the following data from the Machine Controller, and all definition files
will be newly created.

•
All user programs
•
All registers
•
