Section 4: Configuring the Motion Mate DSM314
The DSM314 Controller is configured using the VersaPro configuration software version 1.1 or
later.
The DSM314 has an extensive set of features that enable it to adapt to many different applications.
You can easily make adjustments to your motion system. Parameter registers in the DSM314
memory allow you to use variables in DSM314 motion programs.
The DSM314 contains several configuration parameters; however, only a few need to be set for
most applications. The remaining configuration parameters are normally set to their default values.
This section briefly describes the DSM314 configuration fields, and how to view and set the
configuration parameters required to jog an axis using VersaPro software.
VersaPro Program Folders
A VersaPro program folder is a sub-directory on your hard drive or floppy disk. The PLC
configuration and logic program and the DSM314 configuration will all be stored in the VersaPro
folder.
Connect your personal computer to the PLC using the correct communication cable. For more
information, please refer to GFK-0356,
Series 90-30 PLC Installation and Hardware Manual.
The
VersaPro programming environment has several communications options. One communications
option is to connect directly to the PLC SNP port. All DSM314 programming is done through the
VersaPro interface yielding single point of programming for the module. The DSM314 also has a
serial port on the module faceplate. This serial port is used for updating the DSM314 firmware
only. For one method to connect the VersaPro programmer to the CPU reference Figure 2-17 for a
connection diagram. Consult the VersaPro documentation for additional communications methods.
