Load Initial Configuration Values
This chapter helps you load the QDC module with machine-specific
configuration values by performing four tasks:
Determine initial configuration values
Record them on worksheets
Enter them in PLC-5 data table
Download them to the QDC module
Initial values that you load include:
configuration bits
set-output values
acceleration and deceleration ramp rates
pressure or velocity control limits
pressure or velocity gain constants
pressure alarm setpoints
We already recorded many initial values on worksheets for you.
