Configuring or Editing Transitional Equations
To edit or configure steps based solely on transitional equations, start at the Edit
Step screen on page 4–23:

1.

Press

[F3] - Step Name

from the I/O Edit screen.

The system prompts you to type in the name for your step. (When you
enter the step name, the Step Directory is automatically updated to contain
that step name.)

Important: When assigning names to your steps, use names that will fit
into your expected diagnostic message layout. The step name is used for
the message generation and should be as descriptive as possible of the
operation being performed in that step. Think about how you intend to
present diagnostic messages in DDMC32 and assign messages
accordingly. For example:

Step Name:

Possible Message:

WAITING FOR PART

LIMIT SWITCH 1 is ON while WAITING FOR PART

MOVING PART ON CONVEYOR

LIMIT SWITCH 1 turned ON while MOVING PART ON
CONVEYOR

Type your step name and press

[ENTER]

to accept it.

The system returns you to the Edit Step screen.

[F4] - Step Type.

This key toggles the step between a normal step and an error step (see the
upper left corner of your screen). Select the appropriate option.
