Management of add-on library

Installation/Uninstallation
Add-on libraries are installed in the system folder (/sys) of the Motion module. The Motion module recognizes direct add-on
libraries of the system folder (/sys).
For installation of add-on libraries, refer to the following.
Page 512 Motion System Software Installation
For the uninstallation of add-on libraries, refer to Help of the engineering tool.
Enabling/Disabling
Functions which are infrequently used, such as adjustment functions used for starting up the system and the functions for
debugging used only when an error occurs, can be disabled and enabled when needed. However, unlike uninstallation, the
occupied capacity of the system folder is not reduced.
The disabled add-on library is moved to /sys/disabled.
Enabling/Disabling status is reflected when the Motion module is initialized next time.
Amount of memory consumed setting
Amount of memory each add-on library can consume can be changed by the parameter, and the amount of memory between
each function can be adjusted flexibly according to the application.
For details of the setting method, refer to the following.
Page 97 System Memory Settings
Examples of adjustable memory:
• Buffer size available in logging
• Operation profile open area size
• Label area size
• ST program area

Loading add-on library

Add-on libraries are loaded when the Motion module is initialized.
Loaded add-on libraries can be checked with the boot log file (bootlog.txt).
