Setup
Setup 5-1MN1854
Overview There are two ways to setup the parameters: use the keypad or use Intelliware
serial communications software. The procedures presented in this section allow
LinStep+ to be configured using the keypad (LXKP). If you are not familiar with
the operation of the keypad, please refer to Section 4 of this manual. To ensure
that LinStep+ is correctly configured, follow all the procedures so that important
parameters are not overlooked.
Intelliware software (serial communications) users can refer to this section for
definition of the configuration parameters. The Windows dialog boxes follow the
keypad menu structure very closely. Details of Intelliware software are provided in
MN1855.
Procedure Format Definition
The 2–character ASCII command appears in brackets next to the keypad
command. This is the Intelliware software command. Configuring LinStep+ to a
specific application requires customizing a number of software parameters to
match the mechanics of the system. These parameters include motor, encoder,
distance, acceleration and velocity scaling, I/O, jog, home, and serial
communication.
