When you have finished making changes, or to accept the default
parameters, press 9. To cancel the installation, press ESC.
During the installation procedure, subdirectories
<DRV>:\<PCLINK>, <DRV>:\<PCLINK>\NET, and
<DRV>:\<PCLINK>\RIO will be created on the hard disk if they do
not already exist. PC Link files will be copied from the floppy disk to
the hard disk. These files will require approximately 250K of hard disk
space. Two batch files, NET.BAT and RIO.BAT, will also be created.
Step 3.
When the installation is complete, the following message
should be displayed:
Installation Successful
To load the network driver, run the
<DRV>:\<PCLINK>\NET.BAT batch file.
To load the remote I/O driver, run the
<DRV>:\<PCLINK>\RIO.BAT batch file.
If you are using the PC Link Interface module with the AutoMax
Programming Executive, the installation procedure is complete. Note
that before the PC Link module can be used for communication to
the AutoMax rack, you must configure onĆline communication using
the AutoMax Executive software. Refer to instruction manual J2Ć3045
for the Communication Setup procedure.
If you are not using the AutoMax Executive software, and if you are
installing more than one PC Link module in the same personal
computer, continue with step 4. Otherwise, go to step 5.
Step 4.
Edit NET.BAT and RIO.BAT. Add a line for each additional
PC Link module. Make certain that each module is
assigned a unique port address and memory segment
address. For example, if NET.BAT contains the following
line,
RE2INST RENET
250 D000 0
port memory interrupt
address address level
and you are using two PC Link modules, you could add:
RE2INST RENET 258 D400 0
for the second module, assuming that the port and
memory addresses were free.
Step 5. Type NET.BAT at the <DRV>:\<PCLINK> prompt to load
the Network Communications (RENET) software onto the
PC Link module.
or
Type RIO.BAT at the <DRV>:\<PCLINK> prompt to
load the Remote I/O Network (RERIO) software.
If the installation was unsuccessful, an error code will be returned by
INSTALL. See Appendix C for a description of the error codes.
