3 Program Development Flow

3-2

3.1 Program Development Flow

In this chapter, motion program development procedures are described according to the following flowchart.

Note: 1. The development procedure for sequence programs is basically the same as that for motion programs.

For this reason, descriptions of the sequence program development flow are omitted.

2. The above flowchart shows an example of program development. To use programs for the actual system,

settings for the external devices are required.

Motion Program to be Created

In this chapter, the following motion program is used to explain the program development flow. The motion
program contains only three lines for the simple operation of moving an axis 150,000 pulses from the current
position and then stopping.

INC; “INCREMENTAL MODE”
MOV [A1]150000 [B1]150000; “2 AXES 150000 PULSES POSITIONING”
END;

3. Creating Project Files

Create a project in preparation for program

development.

1. Preparation for Devices to be Connected

Connect the devices.

Install MPE720 in a personal computer.

2. System Setup

Execute the self-configuration function to set up the

system.

7. Transferring the Program

Transfer the created program to the MP2000-series

Machine Controller.

8. Debugging the Program

Debug the created program.

9. Saving the Program in Flash Memory

Save the debugged program in flash memory.

6. Registering the Program Execution

the program in high-speed scan.

5. Creating a Motion Program

Code a motion program on the Motion Editor.

4. Settings for Group Definitions

Organize the axes into individual groups according

to the machine configuration.

10. Executing the Programs

Execute the created program by using the register

list.

Refer to the following sections:

3.2.1 Hardware Configuration

3.2.2 Installing MPE720 Version 6

3.3.3 Communication Settings
