On-Line Operation
The ON LINE! command in the System Configurator and the Task Manager
applications allows you to access options such as loading, running, and monitoring
tasks in the AutoMax rack. All of the options are described in detail in the AutoMax
Programming Executive instruction manual.
The following sections provide a summary of some of the options as applied to the
UDC module and UDC tasks. Note that the operating systems must be loaded onto
the Processor modules and UDC modules in the AutoMax rack before attempting to
use any of the on-line options.
5.1 Loading the UDC Module’s Operating System
The UDC module requires an operating system as well as the AutoMax Processor.
The operating system can be loaded to a UDC module by using the Load Operating
System command from the Command menu in the System Configurator. Refer to the
AutoMax Programming Executive instruction manual for the procedure. The operating
system(s) must be loaded to the AutoMax Processor(s) at the same time or before
loading the UDC module operating system.
The operating system may be loaded to the UDC module in a specified slot or to all
UDC modules in the rack. It is possible to re-load a single UDC module’s operating
system without having to re-load the operating systems to all of the UDC modules in
the rack.
The leftmost AutoMax Processor in the rack will check for compatibility between the
AutoMax operating system and the UDC operating system. If a UDC module is
replaced with another UDC module that already contains an incompatible operating
system, the new UDC module will be disabled and its “OS OK” LED will be turned off.
5.2 Loading the Drive Parameters and UDC Tasks
The drive parameters specified when the UDC module is configured can be thought of
as the UDC configuration. In addition to the AutoMax Processor, the UDC module
must have its configuration loaded before it can execute any tasks. The drive
parameters and UDC tasks can be loaded to the UDC by selecting “L” for Load from
the ON LINE Transfer menu. Several options, which are briefly described in the
following paragraphs, will be displayed on the screen.
