7.3 System Configuration Information
The Adept system identification and configuration information is stored in non-volatile
RAM (NVRAM) on the SIO module. If the SIO module ever needs to be changed or
replaced, this information will need to be reinstalled. The information includes the
controller ID serial number and information on which Adept software options (licenses)
are enabled for that controller. This data is normally set at the factory before the controller
is shipped.
If you receive a new SIO module as a spare part (not as part of a controller), you will need
to initialize the NVRAM using
CONFIG_C
(see Instructions for Adept Utility Programs).
Then you must reboot and use the INSTALL command to re-install any optional licenses
that you have purchased.
