Setting the Configuration Parameters
As with I/O Rack Configuration, module configuration is done by completing screens in the
VersaPro hardware configuration software. The hardware configuration data is presented to the
user in a tabular format. The tabs correspond to the groupings shown below. The tab and/or tabs
that correspond to the groups are shown in parenthesis after the group name. The user should note
that tabs will appear and disappear based upon the configuration selections made on the Settings
tab. For example if Axis 4 is disabled, the Axis #4 tab will not be shown.
