MDrive 17,23,34

==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
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. Configure 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".

IM483

==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring IM483's for Party Mode communication.
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following is a modified version of the procedure defined in the
|
|
"Communication" section, page #9, of the "Software Reference Manual"; Revision
|
|
051794.
|
|
|
|
1) Power down the IM483's. Configure each IM483 module for stand alone (single
|
|
mode) communications. For the APS Diviero chassis, jumper J4 for Stand Alone
|
|
(1-2) and J7 for Master (1-2).
|
|
|
|
2) Connect an RS-232 serial connection (9600,none,8,1) from a host terminal to
|
|
the first ("A") controller's front panel connector.
|
|
|
|
3) Power up the IM483.
|
|
|
|
4) Assign the axis name. At the host terminal, enter the letter "A" (0x41)
|
|
followed by a space charter (0x20).
|
|
|
|
5) The IM483 controller should respond by echoing the "A" character and the
|
|
sign-on message at the host terminal, i.e.,
|
|
|
|
A 1342 4038 ADVANCED MICRO SYSTEMS, INC
|
|
MAX-2000 v1.15i
|
|
|
|
6) Change the "Limit Polarity" to active high. At the host terminal, enter
|
|
"l1<enter>". The IM483 should echo your input at the host terminal.
|
|
|
|
7) Store parameters. At the host terminal, enter "S<enter>".
|
|
|
|
8) Move RS-232 connection to next controller. At the host terminal, enter
|
|
control c (^c). Repeat steps 4 through 7 while incrementing the axis name
|
|
(i.e, A, B, C, etc.).
|
|
|
|
9) Set all the IM483's for Party Mode communication. For the APS Diviero
|
|
chassis, configure all of the IM483's for Party Mode by setting J4 to (2-3).
|
|
Connect the RS-232 port to the Master IM483 and set all the remaining IM483's
|
|
to Slave mode by setting J7 to (2-3).
