Understanding IMC-S/23x Setups

Publication 999-122 - January 1997

Servo Setup Menu

The Servo Setup Menu is used to tune the servo loop gains and dynamic
parameters. It provides access to the automatic setup and self-tuning
routines, and also allows manual tuning of all servo parameters. Each
of these menus can be used at any time for diagnostic purposes.

All of the setup parameters available in the setup menus can also be set
using the Definitions menu and the Online Manager in GML. See the
GML Programming Manual for IMC S Class Motion Controllers
(GML-DOC-S) for more information on using the Definitions menu.

Using the Setup Menus

The user-friendly setup menus are accessed via the Online Manager in
GML connected to serial port A.

After the terminal is connected, apply power to the IMC-S/23x and the
Standard Operator Interface appears in the Display window in the
Online Manager window. Refer to the Online Manager in the GML
Programming manual for more information.

Passwords

To protect against unauthorized setup parameter changes, the
IMC-S/23x requires a password before allowing access to the setup
menus.

To get to the Setup menu, type .S and press ENTER . The Setup menu
appears.

The setup password is an ASCII character string selected by the
application programmer for each specific application. As shipped from
the factory, the password is

SET

, but may be different for your specific

application. If you type the password incorrectly, an Incorrect Password
appears on the IMC-S/23x. Enter the setup menus again as described
above and enter the correct password.

Toggling

The technique used to select the desired answer to questions in the setup
menus is called toggling. Toggling is accomplished by pressing the
SPACE BAR on a terminal or PC, which displays the next legal option
or answer to the question.

TIP: Toggle Choices are always English-language answers to
questions and are displayed in all CAPITAL letters.
