FIGURE 20-4. Conﬁguration tab

The conﬁguration tab contains two conﬁguration trees: the one on the left deals mostly

with the I/O and control signals, while the tree on the right deals with the power output

and motor parameters. The exact content and layout of a tree depends on the controller

model that is detected.

The trees are, for the most part, self explanatory and easy to follow.

Each node will expand when clicking on the small triangle next to it. When selecting a tree

item, the value of that item will show up as an underscored value. Clicking on it enables a

menu list or a free-form ﬁeld that you can select to enter a new conﬁguration values.

After changing a conﬁguration, an orange star * appears next to that item, indicating that

this parameter has been changed, but not yet saved to the controller.

Clicking on the “Save to the controller” button, moves this parameter into the control-

ler’s RAM and it becomes effective immediately. This also saves the parameter into the

controller’s EEPROM so that it is loaded the next time the controller is powered up again.

Entering Parameter Values

Depending on the node type, values can be entered in one of many forms:

• Numerical

• Boolean (e.g. Enable/Disable)
