5.4.1 Self-configuration Processing Procedure
5-28
The self-configuration function automatically recognizes the Optional Modules mounted to MP2300
Basic Module and all slave data for slaves connected to the MECHATROLINK network, and auto-
matically generates a definition file.
Self-configuration can be executed from MPE720 or from a Basic Module switch.
Refer to 5.4.2 Execution Procedure for Self-configuration Using the DIP Switch on page 5-29 and
5.4.3 Execution Procedure for Self-configuration Using MPE720 on page 5-31 for the procedure
to execute the self-configuration.
Self-configuration collects MECHATROLINK transmission definition data and slave data using the
following procedure.
In the MP2300, the communication method is determined when the slave is detected, after which
communication method switching and slave detection are not performed. When not even a single
slave station is detected, MECHATROLINK-I communication continues.
