3.3.10 Menu Setup for Multiple Configuration Files (Slaves)
The NXG drive is designed to operate with multiple motors that may or may not be of the same size. This is
accomplished by using multiple parameter configuration files. There is one master configuration file that is always
named current cfg. The slave files are stored in a sub directory of CfgFiles named SubCfgs and can have any legal
name conforming to the “eight dot three” file naming convention.
The configuration files can be created at runtime in the drive’s memory and then stored to a flash disk. The slave files
are created via the keypad menus by setting the slave parameters as desired and writing them to a flash disk.
There are eight SOP flags that can be set to point to a configuration file. The menus are used to map each SOP flag to
a corresponding configuration file. Once mapped, the SOP flags are used to activate the SOP for a particular motor.

Note: All slave configuration files have the ‘.sfg’ extension. This is not changeable through the menus
Multiple config files This pick list enables the switching of the slave configuration files. If set to OFF, no other
multiple configuration file menus will be displayed. Once enabled, if any one of SOP flags
is set to true, the corresponding configuration file will become active.
Show active config
file
Function to display the current active configuration file. If correct configuration file is not
displayed, the SOP file should be checked for accuracy. Check the ‘Setup SOP
configuration flags” menu to be sure the correct file is mapped to the SOP flag.
Set active config file This pick list sets the displayed file to be the active configuration file. This function
overrides what is set in the SOP program. Any change in the SOP program is checked
against the file set in this function. Once a change in the SOP is detected, that file will then
be the active file. The keypad menu setting is now ignored. This insures no unintentional
toggling of the configuration files. To switch back to the keypad file, set it by this menu. If
no change in the SOP program occurs, the keypad set configuration file will remain in
memory.
Create new config
file
This function allows you to save slave parameters to a file name you specify. The name is
entered using the drive keypad. To get to the alphanumeric characters, you must press a
number key. The table below shows all possible combinations of letters, numbers, and
symbols.
