CPU Module Functionality
5.
Turn OFF the INIT and CNFG pins on the DIP switches (mode switches) on the CPU
Module.
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 Base Unit.
2.
Turn ON only the CNFG pin 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 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 Controller’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 configura-
tion again.
Refer to the following manual for details on saving data to the flash memory.
MP2000/MP3000 Series Machine Controller System Setup Manual (Manual No.: SIEP C880725 00)
Before performing this procedure, turn ON the power supply to the SERVOPACKs and other
devices.
