Using the Motion Program Editor
Now that we have successfully gotten our Local Logic program working, it would be nice to link in
a Motion Program. The Motion Program editor is accessed in a manor very similar to the Local
Logic editor. The editor allows the user to easily create, edit, store, and download Motion
programs. To create a Motion program the user needs to have a VersaPro folder open. For our
example, the open VersaPro folder needs to be the folder created as part of the Local Logic
example in the previous sections. The folder name in the example is “MotionTest”. Reference the
VersaPro documentation on how to open a folder. Once the VersaPro folder is open, select the File
menu selection then the New Program menu selection followed by the Motion… menu
selection.(Figure 10-46).
Figure 10-46. VersaPro Create Motion Program Menus
The aforementioned menu selections will evoke a dialog box that will allow the user to give the
Motion program a name, a descriptive comment, and select the motion module type. At this time,
Motion programs using this editor are only supported on the DSM314. As such, the default
selection for Motion Module Type should not be changed. (Reference Figure 10-47)
