3.3 Self-configuration
The self-configuration function automatically detects the Option Modules connected to the Machine Controller and
automatically generates the files for the Module configuration definitions and the detailed definition of each Module.
Executing self-configuration will greatly reduce the system startup procedure.
After executing self-configuration, always save data to flash memory so that the results of self-configuration
are saved to the Machine Controller.
3.3.1 Executing Self-configuration
The methods used to execute self-configuration are described below.
( 1 ) Setting the CNFG DIP Switch Pin and Turning the Power ON
(MP2200/MP2300/MP2310/MP2300S)
Self-configuration can be executed by turning ON the CNFG DIP switch pin on the Machine Controller and then turn-
ing the power ON. The result will depend on the setting of the INIT DIP switch pin.

The DIP switch is not normally used for the MP2100M. For these Machine Controllers, execute self-configuration by
following the procedure described in (2) Using the MPE720 (MP2100M/MP2500MD) below.
INIT
• The Module configuration definitions are updated.
ON
• The default values are allocated in the definitions for all of the Modules that are detected.
• The Module configuration definitions are updated.
OFF
• The definitions for any Modules for which definitions already exist are not changed.
• The default values are allocated in the definitions for any new Modules that are detected.
