Click on Custom Motor to creat and edit custom motors in the following screen:
In this view, you can import or export a motor parameter file, or create a custom motor of your choice. The appro-
priate parameters must be chosen as listed. Several of the parameters allow you to select an alternate unit of
measure. When building a custom motor file, do not use blank spaces in the name you choose. Once you have
configured one or more custom motors, if you select a custom motor from the list and click OK, then the selected
custom motor will be displayed in the Select Motor screen.
The actions available in the custom motor screen include:
l New. Allows you to start a new custom motor (with default values) or load a catalog motor you may want
to modify.
l Duplicate. Makes a copy of the highlighted motor in the custom motor list.

l Apply. Accepts the values you have entered for the specific motor files you are entering.

to set up the various feedback loops and limits associated with the motor selected.
Note that if you select a custom motor from the list and click Ok button then that selected custom motor will be
displayed in the Select Motor screen.
