810 Initializing Your Motion Controller
• The controller is set to not automatically run program on power-up
(usually entered in the General page of the Configure Control Options
dialog box).
• Multidrop operation (usually set in the General page of the Configure
Control Options dialog box) is disabled.
• Remote I/O, AxisLink, and DH-485 communication (usually set in
the General page of the Configure Control Options dialog box) are
disabled.
• Status 0 LED glows a continuous, uninterrupted red.
After communication is restored or the problem is fixed, you must set the
above parameters back to their appropriate values for your application.
You can do this manually from the motion controller’s built-in setup
menus, or by downloading the application program with Download Axis/
Drive Data with the Diagram selected in the General page of the
Configure Control Options dialog box.
To clear the Status 0 LED:
1. Wait until the parameters (described above) have been reset to the
initialized values for your application.
2. Press and release the controller’s RESET button.
Initializing the Software
Software initialization clears the motion controller’s application and
parameter memory. It is required when changing firmware revisions, and
is useful any time it becomes necessary to force the motion controller into
a known default state. Before software initialization, however, be sure
you have saved the current setup values and the application program.
Without these files, it is impossible to restore the operating
configuration—or personality—of the motion controller after software
initialization.
