LINK TechBox/TechCard Instruction Manual - HA470016 Issue 5
Modifying inside the macro
All the drive functions are available through the TechBox. When using some of the 590+ drive
functions it may be necessary to use the Mini-Link block or a system block as the connection point
to the TechBox. The purpose for doing this is to ensure proper triggering of non-system function
blocks.
Note: The 690+ drive does not require the use of a system block to ensure proper
triggering.
Deleting and/or moving an internal connection
The connections inside the macro can be deleted or moved in the same fashion that is used in
ConfigEd or DSD. When deleting the connection and the connection point be sure the connection
outside the macro is deleted first. If the connection is only being moved from one block to another
block it is not necessary to delete the external macro connection.
Inserting a new internal connection
Input connection points to the 590+ macro do not need to be connected to the Mini-Link block.
When you are adding an output connection point to the 590+ macro it may be necessary to connect
to the Mini-Link or system block. If the output connection point is originating from a system block
it is not necessary to link the connection to the Mini-Link block. The connection is normalized so
that scaling the signal is not necessary outside the macro.
Inserting function blocks
Link
function blocks may be programmed into the TechBox.
LINK
function blocks should be
inserted outside the macro. Do not insert function blocks inside the drive macro. The macro inputs
and outputs are normalized when connectioning to the drive through the macro. The function
blocks are accessed in the same manner as other
Link2
modules.
Inserting and deleting macro inputs/outputs
Connections in and out of the macros are made by the following methods.
1.
Selecting the inputs and outputs from the BLOCK menu will allow the I/O diamonds to be
inserted into the macro. The diamond shaped input and output tags can be dropped anywhere
inside the drive macro. Drawing a link from the input/output diamond to the desired connection
point will make the connection to outside the macro.
2.
Highlighting the tag and pressing the “DELETE” key will delete inputs or outputs. Prior to
deleting the tag, be sure to disconnect all external connections to the macro.
