Repairing a Rack Configuration

Errors can occur if variables are found in an empty slot or if a module

or variables are assigned to nonĆexistent slots. These errors will not

be evident until you try to generate the configuration file for

downloading to the Processor(s) in the rack or you perform a Verify

operation on an application task.
Errors like these can result when a rack is created by the Import

procedure, or if the database files are modified outside of the

AutoMax Executive software. Any variables (and the module, if

present) or local variables with unresolved networkĆwide names can

be removed by using the following procedure.
The Repair option should be used only if the Programming Executive

software displays an error message notifying you of an error.

Otherwise, this option works in exactly the same way as Remove,

which deletes a module and the associated variables.
When you use the Repair option, you will need to enter the slot

number referred to in the error message on the screen. If the

message refers to slot 99, there has been an error involving common

memory variables, which are stored in slot 99" for the purposes of

the database. When these variables are configured in the Variable

Configurator, they are actually mapped into slots containing

Common Memory modules or Processor modules.
Use the following procedure to repair a configuration.
Step 1.

Select Repair from the Configure menu. The Repair dialog

box will be displayed.

Step 2.

Select one of the following options:
Delete modules and variables Ć Deletes the module and all

assigned variables for the designated slot.
Delete locals with unresolved networkĆwide names Ć

deletes Network module variables (the type listed in the

Local column in the Variable Configurator for Network

modules) that have networkĆwide names that cannot be

found in the network database.
Copy database backups by command Ć displays four

options: Copy Module, Copy Drive, Move Module, Modify

Module. The option selected will determine the database

in the AMXWORK subdirectory from which the backup

files are copied.

Step 3.

Enter the slot number to which the variable(s) are attached

as noted in the error message.
