Settings
The Settings tab contains configuration information that allows the user to define basic module
operation. These settings are for the number of controlled axes, axis operating modes etc. The
selections on these tabs will cause other tabs within the configuration to appear or disappear. For
example if the user disables axis #4, then the Axis and Tuning tabs relating to axis #4 will not be
displayed. (Note that the Settings tab is where the user used to define the Motion program and
Local Logic program names.) These names determine which programs stored in the CPU will be
transferred to each DSM on system power-up. Refer to Chapter 10 and Chapter 7 for additional
information concerning these topics. During each CPU sweep, data is automatically transferred
between the DSM314 and the CPU. The Settings tab also contains the CPU interface data
references and the starting locations for the automatic transfers. The configuration parameters in
the Settings tab are described in Table 4-1. All
