6.3 Adding a Foreign Module or Other
Unsupported Module
Any foreign module, i.e., nonĆAutoMax or DCS 5000, must meet strict
requirements before it can be used in an AutoMax rack and
configured for the rack. See Appendix H for these requirements
before attempting to add a foreign module to the rack.
Foreign modules and AutoMax modules that are not supported in this
version of the Programming Executive software can be added to the
rack as generic" I/O modules. The generic module should also be
used if a currently existing module is enhanced and the existing form
does not allow you to configure the view or changed registers. Three
generic modules are available, one with 32 registers (GEN32), one
with 32,768 registers (GEN32K), and one with 8000H registers in hex
(GEN32KH). GEN32K and GEN32KH are available only in the local
rack. GEN32 is available in a local rack and in a remote rack.
6.4 Configuring Drive Parameters
The Configure Parameters command on the Configure menu is used
to configure drive parameters. This command can be selected only
after you have added a Universal Drive Controller (UDC) module to
the rack. The UDC Parameter Entry screens can be accessed in two
ways. From the main Rack Configurator screen, select the UDC
module and then select Configure Parameters from the Configure
menu. From the Power Module Interface display screen (accessed by
zooming into the UDC module), select Configure Parameters from
the Configure menu. Refer to the DC Drive Configuration and
Programming instruction manual (SĆ3006) for detailed descriptions of
how to configure the drive parameters.
6.5 Copying a Module
The Copy Module command allows you to copy an existing module
(from any library, system, section, and rack), along with its associated
hardware (such as remote I/O racks and cards), variables, and
parameters, into an empty slot in the rack being configured. No tasks
will be copied with the module.
NOTE: Any duplicate variable names created can be resolved by
using the Substitute Variables command (see 6.13). When copying a
network module, only local variables will be copied, and all linked
variables will be unlinked in the destination module.
Use the following procedure to copy a module into an empty slot in
the rack.
Step 1.
Select an empty slot in the rack.
Step 2. Select Copy from the Configure menu. The Copy Module
dialog box is displayed (see figure 6.5).
Step 3. Select the module you want to copy by choosing the
appropriate drive, library, system, section, rack, and
module.
Step 4. Select OK to copy the module into the rack, or Cancel to
return to the Rack Configurator without copying the
module.
