Chapter Objectives
This chapter will provide you with the basic procedures that are necessary
to configure the Drive for use with a MCA Board. Procedures that will be
covered in this chapter include:
S Verification of proper installation and wiring.
S Verification of correct switch settings for the required application.
S Configuration of the Drive control for use with the MCA Board.
Terminology
Configuration The process of linking Sink to Source parameters.
Interface The hardware and associated software required to transfer
information and/or control signals from one device to
another.
Parameter Memory location used to store Drive data.
Sink Parameter used to receive data input
Source Parameter used as a source of data.
Connection Verification
Before any attempt to configure the Drive is made, the following
connections and settings MUST be verified per Chapter 4.
S Check the Multi Communication Adapter Board mounting location. Is it
in the correct position to connect to the intended port?
S Check that the 60 pin ribbon cable connector J1 is connected correctly
for the location and port being used by the MCA board.
S Check that the setting of all DIP switches is correct for your application
referring to Tables 4–1 through 4–8 in the Installation chapter.
IMPORTANT: When an MCA Board is put in a different Drive Port, or
DIP switch settings are changed, the drive must be re-initialized for a
correct MCA configuration to occur.
WARNING: Failure to verify connections and switch settings before
configuring the Drive, could result in personal injury due to a Drive
malfunction or erractic system operation.
Example Connection Configuration
The parameters used to configure the MCA board are determined by the
port the MCA board is connected to. Figure 5–1 shows a sample
configuration with the MCA board connected to Port B.
