MaxMotion for Machines Chapter 1-13

for enabling the Pause/Resume/Kill capability during output. When the

Virtual Controller concept was conceived back in 1995, the fastest

computers had Intel 486 chips. Some of the slower chips could not

manage Pause/Resume/Kill capability while sending out timely output

for smooth motor operation. Disabling the capability made the machine

run smooth. No need to worry about disabling it with today's fast

Pentium chip based computers.

Port Selection

The MaxMotion ID key will be connected to the parallel port that came

with your PC computer. While the machine will be connected to the

second parallel port . The address of the board where the machine is

connected to the PC should be selected in the Port Selection.

If the machine is to be connected to a parallel port, it is required that

the computer be configured with two parallel port. Attach the ID key to

one parallel port while connecting the machine to the second parallel

port.

Click on the Port selection box to see all the possible choices.

MaxMotion Virtual Controller takes advantage of the parallel port

technology on the PC to drive the drivers/amplifiers and your machine.

As a rule, MaxMotion Virtual Controller does not require any special

hardware. In case of certain drivers/amplifier designs, you may need

special low cost boards that provide additional flexibility not available

from standard parallel port. Contact Solustan for more information.

Select the LPT (Parallel port) number to which you have connected

your machine. If you do not know the LPT number, check your

documentation for the PC computer that you own. If you decide to

purchase a parallel port board from Solustan, it will be an ISA bus

based card, it will always have the address of 278 and will as a result,

carry the lowest LPT address number.

Machine Name Selection

Machine name should be showing "My Machine". Click on the arrow

to the right of the machine name. Notice that there is a long list of

1 2 ... 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ... 251 252
