Use the following procedure to change the C200H-MC221's task configuration
from task 1 to task 2 or from task 2 to task 1. The Unit is set for task 1 when
shipped from OMRON.
Backup data.
Initialize all of the Unit's
data.
Transfer the new position
data and program.
Use the MC Support Software to backup the Unit's data by transferring the sys-
tem parameters, program, and position data from the Unit to the personal com-
puter. Refer to the MC Support Software Operation Manual (W256) for details on
transferring data.
1. Change the task number from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 1 in the MC Support Soft-
ware's Unit Parameter Edit menu. If there are other parameters that should
be changed, change them and save them.
2. Transfer the parameters created in step 1 (from the Unit to the personal
computer). Write "all data" to flash memory.
3. Turn the Unit's power supply off and on again.
4. Delete the Unit's entire program with the MC Support Software's MC Pro-
gram Edit menu. Write "all data" to flash memory.
5. Turn the Unit's power supply off and on again.
These steps initialize the Unit for the new task configuration.
1. Create the position data and program for the new task configuration and
transfer the data and program from the personal computer to the Unit. If the
position data and program already exist, just transfer the data and program.
2. When all of the position data and program have been transferred, write "all
data" to flash memory.
These steps complete the Unit's setup.
When changing the task configuration,
backup all of the Unit's data for safety.
Initialize all of the data for the Unit's task
configuration.
Download the position data and program
for the new task configuration.
