Menu 14: MD29 system set-up
The set-up parameters take effect only after the MD29 or Drive has
been reset, or when a RENIT instruction in a DPL program has been
executed.
This parameter defines the addresses for serial communications.
This parameter sets the Mode for serial communications.
All modes except Modes 7 and 8 are fixed in the format:
1startbit,7databits,evenparity,1stopbit.
This parameter sets the Baud rate:
24 = 2400, 48 = 4800, etc.
Defines the clock-tick time in milliseconds for executing the CLOCK Task
of a DPL program.
Maximum: 100ms.
Specifies the CTNet Node address.
Available with MD29AN only.
When set at 1, this parameter enables a DPL program to be
automatically started when when the MD29 is reset or powered-up.
When set at zero, a command must be issued from the MD29 Toolkit
software before the DPL program will start.
When set at 1, this parameter causes the MD29 to trip and stop if a Task
over-runs.
There is no controlled stop.
The display will show A29.
When set at 1, this parameter causes the MD29 to trip if there is a
communication link failure between the MD29 and the CT I/O box.
When this parameter is set at 1, the Drive will trip if a fault occurs in the
MD29 hardware or software.
A user’s DPL program cannot cause this trip.
Each Drive parameter has a finite range of values which can be
accepted. Any value which is outside the parameter limits could signify a
program failure.
When this parameter is set at 1, the Drive will trip if a parameter is
outside the limits. When it is set at 0, the MD29 places a limit-on the
value written.
Setting this parameter at 1 puts the RS232 serial port into plain ASCII
mode, and disables all the communications protocols for debugging and
using the MD29 Toolkit.
When this parameter is set at 1, the MD29 indicates if the Clock Task
over-runs.
When this parameter is set at 1, the MD29 indicates if the Encoder Task
over-runs.
