Configure Setup Parameters; Setup View - Emerson EZMotion User Manual

PC as part of the PowerTools Pro installation. When a new EZMotion file is created using PowerTools Pro, the contents of
SpInitialize.ini is read and written into the configuration file.
Figure 79:
Once the data is written from the SpInitialize.ini file into the new configuration, it is stored as part of the configuration. Therefore, if
the file is downloaded to EZMotion, the contents of the Drive Menu Initialize view resides in the module. If the file is uploaded using
PowerTools Pro, the contents of the SP Menu Initialization list is uploaded as part of the configuration file.
The Drive Menu Initialize data can be modified just like a user program. If the user wishes, new parameters can be added to the
default data, or files can be removed from the default data. Changes made to the Drive Menu Initialize data in PowerTools Pro will
change the initialization for that configuration file only (not for another new configuration created later).
If the user wishes to make a change to the initialization for every new file they create, then changes can be made directly to the
source SpInitialize.ini file. Using a text editor (i.e. Microsoft™ Notepad), the .ini file can be modified to include new parameters or
remove existing default parameters. Once the modified .ini file is saved, those changes will be included in every new EZMotion
configuration file created in the future.
Care should be taken when editing the default list. Changes made to this file will directly impact the functionality of the system. It
could be possible to cause a condition where EZMotion can not control the drive if an incorrect change is made to the initialization
list. Consult CT Applications Engineering with questions.
