The Rack Configurator application in the AutoMax Programming Executive is used to configure the
modules in a rack. Using the Rack Configurator, you create a graphical representation of the actual
modules in the rack. Refer to of the AutoMax Programming Executive instruction manual for more
information on configuring racks.
You can access the Rack Configurator by selecting the Configure Rack option from the Rack menu of
the System Configurator. An empty AutoMax rack will be displayed initially.
2.1 Adding a UDC Module
The UDC module may be placed in any slot in an AutoMax rack that contains at least one AutoMax
Processor module (M/N 57C430A, 57C431, or 57C435). Note that the UDC module cannot be used
in a remote l/O rack. The rack does not require a Common Memory module (M/N 57C413 or 576423)
unless more than one AutoMax Processor is being used. A rack may contain up to ten UDC modules.
Some AutoMax modules, e.g., the Common Memory module and the Ethernet” Interface module,
may have an effect on the slot allocation in the rack that limits where other modules may be inserted.
Refer to the appropriate instruction manual for additional information. A UDC module may also be
placed in a rack containing a set of the AutoMax drive controller modules (B/M 57401, 57405, 57406,
and 57408).
Use the following procedure to add a UDC module to a rack:
Step 1. Select an empty slot in the rack.
Step 2. Select Add from the Configure menu. A dialog box listing the available modules will be
displayed on the screen.
Step 3. Select the UDC module.
Step 4. Select a product type and a regulator (control) type for both drive A and drive B. See
section 2.1 .1 for regulator selection rules. The remainder of this chapter assumes you have
selected an SD3000 drive type.
Step 5. Select OK to add the UDC module to the rack and return to the Rack Configurator screen.
