Description of the input fielcfs
Each module has several characteristics (SYSI D), some of which cannot be changed and some
of which can be selected. There are other characteristics which must beset, such as the module
number, and some which can be set. The latter are mainly of a documentary nature and are not
checked.
Drive:
Here, you specify the drive in which the user data diskette is to be inserted. With the
PG685, the data can, of course, be stored on the hard disk. In this case "B" must then
be selected.
Filename:
The file name identifies the file in which the data blocks are stored (here, EXAMPLE).
This allows you to assign different files to different projects or plant sections. Using the
HELP key, you can display all the files on a current drive with the file type .247. As you
page through the file names, the "plant designation", "generated by" and "generated
on" fields are updated.
Plant designation:
In this field you can select a brief designation for the plant for which the data blocks are
intended (here, LINEAR AXIS). This designation is written into the file header. This field
must be completed, otherwise the error message "illegal input" is displayed.
Generated by:
As in the plant designation field, the name of the operator (here, SMITH) can be saved
in the file, Once again this field must be completed.
Module no.:
This is a number between O and 99 which you can specity to distinguish between
various positioning modules. A module number is also entered in the machine data re-
cords. If there is already machine data on the module, the module number entered
here must be identical to that contained in the machine data records. This means that
the module number can no longer be changed if one correct machine data record al-
ready exists on the module. (Only possible online.)
Slot no,:
You can also assign this number as required, between O and 255. The number is
simply for documentation. (Only possible online.)
Page address:
The conditions for this are the same as for the slot number. The page address set on
the module can be read more easily at the PG than by reading the switch on the posi-
tioning module itself (only possible online). Differences between the switch setting and
the entry made here are not checked.
PG date - time:
The internal PG date and time are displayed here, If you modify anything in these fields,
this is taken as a date and time change and the software clock of the PG is set to these
values.
