PMI meter ports can also be set up on-line using the “Setup UDC” selection from the Monitor menu
as described in the AutoMax Programming Executive instruction manual. If the meter ports are set up
during parameter entry, the information is loaded onto the UDC module in the AutoMax rack along
with all other parameter data. The meter port setup can then be changed on-line under “Setup UDC”,
but this method would not actually write over the PMI meter port setup that was loaded to the rack.
Instead, the new setup would be valid only until there was a Stop All or a power cycle, in which case
the original setup would be used to determine what data to send out of the meter ports.

Generating the Drive Parameter Files and Printing Drive Parameters
When you have completed all of the drive parameter screens, you can select “Close” to leave the
Parameter Entry screens and return to the master rack diagram with the UDC module selected. Zoom
out or select the Exit command from the Configure menu to return to the System Configurator.
You can generate the drive parameter files by using the steps that follow.
Step 1.
From the System Configurator, access the Task Manager by selecting the Manage Tasks
command from the Rack menu.
Step 2.
Select the Generate Configuration command from the Commands menu.
Step 3.
Check the Generate Drive Parameter Files option in the Generate Files dialog box, and then
select OK.
A file containing the newly-entered drive parameters will be created. The file will be named
PARAMxx.POB, where xx is the slot number of the UDC module. Note that the drive
parameter files must be loaded to the rack before (or at the same time) the UDC application
tasks are loaded to the rack. Refer to the AutoMax Programming Executive instruction
manual for more detailed information.
You can print the drive parameters for a UDC module you specify by using the Print
command from the Rack menu in the System Configurator. Refer to the AutoMax
Programming Executive instruction manual for step-by-step instructions.
