Software: Ultraware 1.64
Hardware: AB Ultra 3000i
This will be my first go at tinkering with a servo and ultraware so I thought I should get some advice first and where else can ya get better advice than plctalk.net???
I successfully connected to the drive today to get a bit familiarized with Ultraware. I have a customer that wants to add a reverse jog button to their machine. I noticed in Ultraware that one of the DI's (#6) is unassigned and a drop-down menu with other selections are available to choose from. I saved the file from the 3000i and would like to edit it offline this weekend and test it in the field this monday morning.
Can anyone explain to me:
1:What do I select from the drop down options to assign that digital contact to command the servo to reverse?
2: after the D.I. is assigned properly what further settings need to be tweaked
3: once DI #6 is assigned, what digital contact on the 3000i needs terminated?
4: After the above has been completed, how is the edited offline file "downloaded" and saved to the 3000i? I didnt see a transfer file or "download" to drive icon. I can probably figure this part out in the 3000i pdf but question 1,2 & 3 is where I am really lost.
thanks for any advice.
