Data Parameters and Data Bits

Data Parameters are variables that are used to configure the controller
options. Data Bits are Boolean values (0,1) which further define the
configuration values for the controller by disabling or enabling controller
options.

Displaying Data Parameters

To display Data Parameters in the Tag Window:

1. In the Tag Explorer, under Data Parameters, select either an Axis or

General Parameters (i.e., non-axis-specific data parameters). The data
parameters associated with that selection appear in the Tag Window.

Note: If an axis does not appear, it has not been enabled in the

Configure Control Options dialog box.

2. In the Tag Window, scroll down the list until the desired data parame-

ter appears.

Displaying Data Bits

To display Data Bits in the Tag Window:

1. In the Tag Explorer, under Data Bits, select either an Axis or General

Bits (i.e., non-axis-specific data bits). The data bits associated with
that selection appear in the Tag Window.

Note: If an axis does not appear, it has not been enabled in the

Configure Control Options dialog box.

2. In the Tag Window, scroll down the list until the desired data bit
