Configuration
This chapter describes all configuration details necessary to set up the DSM314 for a specific
application. Refer to Chapter 2 for start-up instructions on how to configure the system to send a
Jog
command to the DSM in order to test that the system components are operable. Refer to
Chapter 16 for Electronic CAM configuration information.
The DSM314 module is configured using the VersaPro software. Configuration is a two-part
procedure consisting of:
Rack Slot Configuration
Module Configuration
Note
In order to configure the DSM314 module you must have VersaPro software
version 1.1 or later. You must also have CPU firmware release 10.00 or later.
Consult the PLC CPU documentation concerning which CPU hardware platforms
support this firmware revision.
Rack/Slot Configuration
VersaPro hardware configuration is used to define the type and location of all modules present in
the PLC racks. This is done by first completing setup screens that represent the modules in a
baseplate, then saving the information to a configuration file, which is then downloaded to the PLC
CPU.
Refer to Chapter 2, Section 4 for the details of selecting a DSM314 baseplate and slot location in
the PLC rack. After the Rack Slot Configuration is defined, proceed to the second part of the
configuration process, Module Configuration, where you will configure the DSM314 for your
specific application requirements.
