|
Configuring MDrive for party mode.
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following is a modified version of the procedure defined in Section 2.1,
|
|
"Interfacing RS-485 Communications", page #25, of the "MDrive Motion Control"
|
|
manual; Revision 02.05.2004.
|
|
|
|
1. Connect the first MDrive Motion Control to the Host PC configured for Single
|
|
Mode Operation.
|
|
|
|
2. Establish communications.
|
|
If you can see the sign-on message "Copyright 2001-2003 by Intelligent
|
|
Motion Systems, Inc.", then you are up and running. If the sign-on
|
|
message does not appear, try using a software reset. Hold down the
|
|
"Ctrl" key and press "C" (^C). If the sign-on message still does not
|
|
appear then there may be a problem with either the connections,
|
|
hardware or software configuration of the MDrive Motion Control or
|
|
Host.
|
|
|
|
3. Using the command DN, name the MDrive Motion Control. This must be a number
|
|
1-9. (DN="1"{enter}). Label the motor with the device name.
|
|
|
|
4. Set Echo Mode EM=1{enter}.
|
|
|
|
5. Set the party flag PY=1{enter}.
|
|
|
|
6. Type CTRL+J to activate the Party Mode.
|
|
|
|
7. Type {DN}S CTRL+J where {DN} is the device name given in step #3 (Save
|
|
device name, Echo and Party Mode).
|
|
|
|
8. Remove power.
|
|
|
|
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for each additional MDrive in the system using
|
|
successive device names "1" through "9".
