5.4 Self-configuration
When the self-configuration function is implemented, the Machine Controller recognizes the mounted optional
modules, and automatically creates the Module Configuration Definition, Module Details Definition files of each
optional module. The self-configuration function greatly reduces the system startup time.
The following figure shows how the self-configuration function works.
Self-configuration can be executed by switch of Basic Modules, or by MPE720.
Refer to
5.4.2 Execution Procedure for Self-configuration Using the DIP Switch
and
5.4.3 Execution Procedure for
Self-configuration Using MPE720
for the procedure to execute the self-configuration.
