Settings
The Settings tab contains configuration information that allows you to define basic module
operation. These settings specify the number of controlled axes, axis operating modes etc.
The selections on these tabs can cause other tabs within the configuration to appear or
disappear. For example, if you disable axis #4, the Axis and Tuning tabs relating to axis #4
are not displayed.
The Settings tab is where you define the Motion program, Local Logic, and Cam block
names. These names determine which programs stored in the CPU will be transferred to
each DSM on system power-up.
During each CPU sweep, data is automatically transferred between the DSM314 and the
CPU. The Settings tab contains the CPU interface data references and the starting locations
for the automatic transfers. The configuration parameters in the Settings tab are described
in Table 26. All Reference Section designations shown in the tables pertain to this chapter.
