Adding a new data record
Proceed as shown below to configure a further data record.
Step Description
1.
In the Navigator of S7T Config, open the configuration dialog box of the axis to which you want
to add a data record.
2.
Set the "data record changeover" check box.
The check box is hidden if the axis already contains several data records.
3.
Click "Add."
Result: A new data record is added to the axis.
4.
Click "configure active data record". Confirm the "reconfigure active data record" message with
"Yes."
Result: The Axis Wizard appears.
5.
Use the axis wizard to configure the data record.
Note: The technology used is set once when you create the axis. You can not use a second
data record to change the axis technology.
6.
You may also perform an encoder changeover using the data record changeover function. Do
so by setting the "enable encoder changeover" check box on the "Axis configuration - Encoder
assignment" dialog box. Otherwise, ignore this step and the next.
Click "new encoder" to create the second encoder.
Result: a drop-down list opens from which you can select an encoder for this data record.
