The other action required to enable the MintDrive
hardware.
Note: This method is explained here for your information, but cannot be completed until
you have installed the software and are ready to turn on AC power to the drive.
Please continue to read all sections in sequence. Do not turn on AC power until
you reach the appropriate instructions.
In software, a drive enable command must be issued. The easiest way to do this is by clicking
the Drive enable button
DRIVEENABLE=1 can be used. See the Mint help file for details.
In hardware, a digital input can be used to create the drive enable command. This can be
configured in Mint WorkBench using the Digital inputs tab of the Digital I/O tool. Alternatively,
the Mint keyword RESETINPUT can be used to select the required digital input. See the Mint
help file for details. Digital inputs DIN0 - DIN7 are sampled every 2ms, so if one is used to
provide the drive enable command it must be maintained for at least 2ms to ensure detection.
Another method is to use the Mint keyword DRIVEENABLEMODE. This allows the combination
of DIP switch 8 and the dedicated drive enable input on pin 9 to create the drive enable
command. Both inputs must become active. Provided one input is already on, as soon as the
other input changes from off to on (active), the drive will be enabled. See the Mint help file for
details.
