load application tasks into the Processor(s) in the rack and
run/monitor them without actually placing I/O modules in the rack, or
without connecting the I/O modules in the rack to field devices. The
variables can then be monitored through the OnĆLine command.
Loading the configuration using this option will make the
configuration take up more room on the Processor than loading
without this option. Tasks that depend on hardware interrupts, i.e.,
that use BASIC language WAIT ON statements, will not run. Note that
this option will not necessarily simulate realĆworld results and that
once testing is complete and you connect all field wiring to the rack,
you must reĆload the configuration without the option.
6.16.2 Generating the Drive Parameter Files
The Generate Configuration command can be used to create the
drive parameter object files (.POB) for all UDCs in the rack. To create
the drive parameter files, choose the Generate Drive Parameter Files
option. A file named PARAMXX.POB will be created, where XX is the
slot number of the UDC module. The drive parameters must be
loaded onto the UDC(s) in the rack before or at the same time UDC
application tasks are loaded. See 14.3 for information about loading
the drive parameter files.
You can print the drive parameters for a UDC module by using the
Print command from the Rack menu in the System Configurator.
6.17 Accessing the Variable Configurator
After you have configured a rack, select Configure Variables from the
Configure menu to access the Variable Configurator. Use the Variable
Configurator to assign variable names for I/O on a form designed
specifically for each module. Chapter 7 describes the Variable
Configurator.
