This operation will add the DSM314 to the rack and bring up the DSM314 configuration screens.
This will allow you to customize the DSM314 to your particular application. Refer to Chapter 4
for details concerning the DSM314 configuration settings. For the example, we are going to
change the Local Logic Block name, Motion Program Block name, Cam Block name and “Local
Logic Mode:” These fields are contained on the “Settings” tab. In the field “Local Logic Mode”,
we want to set it to Enabled. To do this, double click the field and a dialog box will be displayed.
Select Enable and click OK. In the field “Local Logic Block Name:,” we want to type in the name
of our example program. Our example program is named “CamExLLPgm.” Thus, we type
“CamExLLPgm” into this field. We want to add the motion program and CAM block names as
well. Therefore, in the CAM Block name field we want to enter “CamBlk,” and in the Motion
Program Block name we want to enter “CamExMotPgm”.
Note
This method of linking the DSM314 to the program blocks and CAM blocks was chosen
to allow you to easily specify multiple DSM314 modules that use the same blocks. In
our example, we only have one DSM314. However, if we had multiple DSM314 that all
need to run the same Local Logic program, motion programs, or CAM Blocks, we
would simply indicate that in the configuration for the specific DSM314 that needed to
execute this program. This allows you to have one source file for multiple DSM314
modules. Note that this does not preclude DSM314s from executing different programs.
Thus, the DSM314 will execute the files (CAM, Local Logic, and Motion Program)
pointed to by the configuration. The resulting Hardware Configuration screens will be
as shown in Figure 16-32.
