required. Do not attempt to edit them from within AutoMax Executive
V3.x.
If you have also installed a DPS software option, which contains the
UDC operating systems and SKELETON.UDC file, the
SKELETON.UDC file will contain the Local tunable variables that must
be defined in every UDC task exactly as indicated. Note that each of
the Local tunable variables in the SKELETON.UDC file is preceded
by a !" comment symbol. Simply delete the !" symbol for each
Local tunable variable required for your selected drive type. Only the
CURRENT" parameter may be edited for these Local tunable values.
Other applicationĆspecific Local tunable values may be added as
required. See the appropriate DPS Configuration and Programming
instruction manual for more information on UDC tasks and JĆ3675 for
more information on Local tunables.
TEMPLATE.BLK is also copied into the AutoMax subdirectory. It
contains prototype Control Block statements which can be copied
