How to add a sensor manually for Sensor Synchronization
Use the following procedure to add a sensor manually.
How to add a sensor manually for Analog Synchronization
There are no prepared files for adding a sensor for Analog Synchronization. It can be
accomplished by copying the following files and edit them for the second sensor:
• synvaileio.cfg
• synvailprc.cfg
• syim1.moc
Action
1. Connect the encoder interface unit to the CAN bus. Note the address on the CAN bus.
2. In RobotStudio, click Load Parameters.
3. Select: Load Parameters if no duplicates and click Open.
4. Installation of a master sensor, connected to DeviceNet1 (first board).
Load the following files one by one from the OPTIONS/CNV directory:
• syvm1_eio.cfg
• syvm1_prc.cfg
• syvm1_moc.cfg
5. Installation of a slave sensor, connected to DeviceNet2 (second board).
Load the following files one by one from the OPTIONS/CNV directory:
• syvs1_eio.cfg
• syvs1_prc.cfg
• syvs1_moc.cfg
6. Restart the system.
7. If necessary, correct the address for the new encoder interface units. The default
addresses in the file syvxx_eio.cfg should be replaced by the actual address of the
board.
