MotionWorks IEC Hardware Configuration – 2013-03-26 1
1.1 Hardware Configuration Overview
The Hardware Configuration provides a means of setting details for the
hardware and communication devices with which the IEC application
program interfaces. This information consists of items such as:
• MECHATROLINK Axis and Remote I/O configuration
• Parameters for devices on the Ethernet network,
• Option Slot configuration.
For each of these elements, the Configuration software automatically
enters variable groups and default names in the Global Variables Definition
for use with the application program.
Other capabilities of the Hardware Configuration include graphical motor
tuning interface, test move interface, alarm monitoring, and axis
parameter monitoring.
