Chapter 4: Modicon P410 Servo Controller
41
Introduction
The PanelMate Operator Station can be used to communicate with the Modicon 410 Intelligent
Brushless Servo Controller. The driver takes responsibility for communications to this controller,
generating the protocol necessary to request information from and send information to the controller.
The controller responds to these requests and commands. No ladder logic is required in the controller
to support the interface to the PanelMate unit.
Driver Installation
The driver software contains an installation program named Setup. Setup is on the diskette labeled
“PanelMate Plus Modicon Driver Disk.”
To install the driver on your hard disk, insert the driver disk in your computer. Under Windows in the
Program Manager, choose File Run. In the Run dialog box, type:
Drive:\Setup
In the Command Line entry field, where
drive
is the letter of the floppy drive that contains the driver
disk, choose the <OK> button.
From the Setup program, select the directory for the driver files. (The default directory is
C:|\PMCONFIG\ONLINE\DRIVER.)
Once the installation is complete, you will find the following files on your computer:
