Drive parameters are maintained through a power cycle. If changes
to the PMI D/A port parameters are made online, these parameters
will revert to those saved in memory after power is cycled. To make
changes to the drive parameters permanent, you must change the
parameters using the Rack Configurator and then reĆload them. See
the appropriate DPS Configuration and Programming instruction
manual for more information.
If you select Tasks, the screen will display a list of all the AutoMax
and UDC application tasks for the rack. The task files listed on the
screen are either AutoMax Ladder Logic tasks, which do not need to
be compiled, or the object code files that were created when you
compiled AutoMax BASIC and Control Block tasks or UDC Control
Block tasks. Select the task you want to load from the list. A log file
will automatically be created that will list any errors that occurred
while the task was being loaded. The log file will have the same name
as the task, and the extension .LOG. Remember that you must load
the rack configuration before you can load any AutoMax tasks to the
rack. You must load the rack configuration and the drive parameters
before loading UDC tasks to the UDC module.
It is permissible to load tasks onto a rack that is currently running
tasks. If the task is new, i.e., has a unique name, you can load the
task without stopping tasks already running. AutoMax Executive V3.4
will prompt for the slot and priority of the task. Note that a CRITICAL
task cannot be loaded until all tasks currently in RUN are stopped.
If you wish to load a task with the same name as one currently
running in the rack, you must stop the task before you will be
permitted to load the new task. Note that any task you load will not
go into RUN unless you put it into RUN.
If you wish to load a UDC task for a drive that does not have a task
running, you can load the task without stopping the one curently
running on the UDC module.
If you wish to load a new UDC task for a drive that already has a task
running, you must stop the one currently running on the UDC
module before you will be permitted to load the new UDC task.
If you select All, the normal rack configuration, the drive parameters
for all the UDCs in the rack, all the AutoMax application tasks (except
utility tasks), and all UDC tasks will be loaded automatically. The
current rack configuration and drive parameters (if any) will be written
over. Any application tasks currently on the AutoMax Processors or
UDC modules whose names are the same as the ones being loaded
will be written over.
.LOG and .MEM Options
If you select normal rack configuration, debug rack configuration, or
all, you will have the option to also generate .LOG and .MEM files.
The .LOG option creates a file that contains a log of any errors that
occurred while tasks were being loaded. The .LOG file will have the
same name as the configuration file, with the extension .LOG.
If you select the .MEM option, you are disabling the utility that loads
tasks at higher speed. This option frees up six (6) bytes of Processor
memory per common symbol used.
