3.5. Setup Menu: Parameters
Upon hitting the F2 key in the Power-up screen, the Setup menu appears. The Setup
screens are used to check and change the U511 parameters. Setup consists of 11 screens
or “pages” with groups of related parameters on each. The pages are as follows:
Page
Number
Page Title
1 System Configuration
2 Serial Port #1 Setup
3 Serial Port #2 Setup
4 GPIB/IEEE-488 Setup
5 Axis Configuration
6 Servo Loop
7 Homing and Limits
8 Motor and Feedback
9 Fault Masks
10 Traps
11 Planes and Mapping
Parameters are classified as axis parameters if they are used for all four axes. All other
parameters are considered general parameters. Axis parameters are numbered 100 to 199,
200 to 299, 300 to 399, and 400 to 499 for axes one through four respectively. General
parameters are numbered 0 to 99 and 500 and up. Parameter type and number are
displayed in the upper right corner of all Setup screens. A general parameter page is
shown in Figure 3-19 and an axis parameter page is shown in Figure 3-20.
The page number is displayed at the top left of the page. The page title is displayed at the
top of the page. Scroll through parameters on a page by pressing the up and down arrows.
The Back (F1) and Next (F2) keys move through the parameter pages. F3 is a special
purpose key that selects the next axis or plane, depending on the parameter. It is also used
to toggle through a list of predefined choices in some cases.
To change a parameter value, there are several options. The line above the function keys
usually lists instructions for changing a parameter value. In most cases were the parameter
has a numerical value, simply scroll the cursor to the value to be changed and enter the
appropriate value through the keypad. Pressing the left/right arrow keys changes yes/no
parameter values. Any 0/1 fault mask bits are also toggled in this way. The Default (F4)
key sets the parameter to the factory default value.
Starting with software version 5.02, the default key will return a system-specific
“default” value. Otherwise, a general default value will be returned (see Appendix E:
Backup Utility).
Additional information concerning the setup parameters can be found in Chapter 4:
