Chapter 4:
Configuration
This chapter describes the configuration steps necessary to set up the DSM314 for a specific
application. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on how to configure the system to send a Jog
command to the DSM to test that the system components are operable. Refer to Chapter
15 for Electronic CAM configuration information.
The DSM314 Controller is configured using the following programming software:
RX3i
Machine Edition version 4.5 or later
Series 90-30
Machine Edition version 2.1 or later
VersaPro version 2.1 or later (refer to Appendix H)
Configuration is a two-part procedure consisting of:
1.
Rack/Slot Configuration
2.
Module Configuration
4.1
Connecting the Programmer to the Host
Controller
All DSM314 programming is done through the configuration/programming software
interface, yielding a single point of programming for the module. For more information,
please refer to the Series 90-30 PLC Installation and Hardware Manual, GFK-0356 or the
PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314. The programming environment has several
communications options. One communications option is to connect the programmer
directly to the host controller SNP port, as shown in the following figure. Consult the
software documentation for additional communications methods.
Note:
The DSM314 also has a serial port on the module faceplate. This serial port is used only for
updating the DSM314 firmware.
