What next?
If you have reached this point without any errors, the xPCI-800x controller has been successfully set up and
is ready for use. To complete the installation, you can now execute the following steps in the mcfg.exe
application:
•
[File] [Dialog Functions][Show Axis Status] to display the current position actual and setpoint values
as well as the axis status information
•
[File] [Dialog Functions][Show Digital Inputs / Status] to display the digital inputs, axis status and
interface status information
•
[File] [Dialog Functions][Edit Digital Outputs] to set or reset the digital outputs
•
[File] [Motion Tools] for manual procedure of the drive axes. In doing this, note that the [Close Loop]
button must also be activated for a stepper motor axis, before the axis can be manually operate
using the [Jog Start], [Jog Stop] or [Jog Back] buttons. This is necessary, as stepper motor axes are
also managed via an internal control algorithm.
If you are happy with your settings, you can now start to configure the PC application program. For help with
this, you will find program libraries and example programs in the Drivers, libraries and examples sub-
directory on the xPCI-800x TOOLSET CD.
3.14 Additional installation information for Windows NT
If problems occur when allocating physical storage under Windows NT, these are displayed on screen
through explicit xPCI-800x TOOLSET software error messages. In this case, a value must be changed in the
registration database of your PC.
To do this, proceed as follows:
•
Start the regedit Window utility program as the administrator, e.g., via Start, Run, regedit.
•
Change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management\SystemPages key, which should usually have the value 0, to the
value 10000 hex or higher.
•
Reboot the PC.
3.15 Updating the xPCI-800x Flash firmware (PMON)

•
Open the [Pmon Download] page.
•
Select the pmon.elf file from the Firmware and system.dat files\Pmon sub-directory.
•
After you have made your selection, the xPCI-800x controller's flash will be deleted and then the
corresponding data will be written from the PMON.ELF file.
