Select four 3XXXXX registers for

and four 4XXXXX registers for

outputs

for

each module. The MMC120 must be configured as an MMC 120 0x module in the I/O

map. Depending on the Modicon software, MMC 120 0x may or may not be available as

a device. It can be added using the steps below for your software:

Modsoft

Confirm that the \MODSOFT\RUNTIME\GCNFTCOP.SYS file has the following

exact line, with the possible exception of the sequence number (156), which must be

unique:

DCS MMC 120 0x,156,0,08,08,2 AXES HYD MOTION,1,L0128,2,

The your file does not have this line or has this line but it differs in more ways than

just the sequence number, then it must be added to your file.

Concept 2.0

To add the MMC120 to Concept 2.0, copy SYSINFDB.S0, SYSINFDB.S1,

SYSINFDB.S2, and SYSINFDB.S3 from the Concept20\Patch subfolder of the

folder to which you installed DCS120-Win to the dat subfolder of the folder to which

you installed Concept 2.0. This will overwrite the existing Concept database files.

Concept 2.1

This version of Concept allows ModConnect partner devices such as the MMC120 to

be easily added to the Concept device database through Module Description (.mdc)

files. The MMC120’s module description file is named mmc120.mdc and is installed

to the DCS120-Win folder. Use the following steps to use this file from Concept 2.1:

1. Ensure that Concept 2.1 is not running.
2. Start Concept’s ModConnect Tool.
3. On the File menu, click Open Installation File.
4. Navigate to the DCS120-Win directory, select mmc120.mdc, and click OK.
5. In the Select Module dialog box, click Add All and then Close.
6. On the File menu, click Save Changes.
7. Close the ModConnect Tool.
