In general, only change values and settings in the red boxes shown above. The rest of the options are used to set
up the control at the factory. Please do not change these settings.
The I/O Configuration section allows an input to turn on a function. The input in the drop down menu turns on the
corresponding function. In the figure above, OEM trigger 1 (OEMTRIGGER1) turns on the drive fault.
For example, to set up an external E-Stop, configure a normal input in ports and pins (See Setting up Inputs).
Let's assume we set up Input 4. Then use the drop down menu in the System Configuration window to select the
input as shown below.
The system may also require an oiler. Just define an output, set the time run time of the oiler, and the time
between cycles. In the example below the oiler is attached to output 6. It is turned on for 10 seconds every 1
minute. The spindle has to be on for the oiler to turn on.
