Operating Procedures
This section describes the procedures for executing self configuration.
•
Refer to the following section when you perform self configuration for the first time after con-
necting the devices.
Self Configuration Using the DIP Switch
•
If the Machine Controller and the MPE720 are already connected, the self configuration can
be performed by using the MPE720.
Self Configuration Using the MPE720
Self Configuration Using the DIP Switch
The procedure for executing self configuration using the DIP switch depends on whether self
configuration is being done for the first time since the devices were connected, or if SERVO-
PACKs or other devices have been added.
Both procedures are described below.
First Self Configuration after Connecting the Devices
The following procedure performs a new self configuration of the CPU Module, and creates
new definition files.
1.
Turn OFF the power supply to the Base Unit.
2.
Turn ON only the INIT and CNFG pins on the DIP switches (mode switches) on the CPU
Module.
3.
Turn ON the power supply to the Base Unit.
Self configuration will be executed.
4.
Confirm that the status indicators on the CPU Module change in the following way:
•
RDY: Goes out, and then lights.
•
RUN: Goes out, flashes, and then lights.
1. Before performing this procedure, turn ON the power supply to the SERVOPACKs and other
devices.
2. This procedure will clear the following data:
•
All definition files
•
All user programs
•
All registers
