Understanding
IMC-S/23x Setups
This chapter shows you how to program your IMC-S/23x using the
view mode window of the on-line manager in GML. If you are using
the GML Definitions menu and function blocks to program your
IMC-S/23x, refer to this chapter for additional information on
programming features.
The Setup Menus A user-friendly setup and diagnostic menu is built into the IMC-S/23x.
This menu–which is itself subdivided into four separate submenus–
greatly simplifies setting up the IMC-S/23x for a specific application
or a specific machine. The four submenus are as follows:
•
Application Setup Menu
•
Machine Setup Menu
•
Hookup Diagnostic Menu
•
Servo Setup Menu
The setup menus cannot be accessed unless the controller’s memory is
unlocked via the front panel keyswitch. Make sure that the Memory
keyswitch in is the (unlocked) position before proceeding with system
setup. All parameter values entered in the setup menus are stored in
this lockable memory.
Application Setup Menu
The Application Setup Menu contains parameters that define the
configuration of the IMC-S/23x.
Machine Setup Menu
The Machine Setup Menu contains parameters which configure the
IMC-S/23x for the specific machine being controlled.
Hookup Diagnostics Menu
The Hookup Diagnostics Menu is used to check and verify connections
to external devices. Tests are included for checking encoders, drives
and motors, and discrete and dedicated I/O. This menu also provides
tests to automatically determine correct feedback polarity for proper
closed-loop servo operation.
