CTAN116 - UniSoft and The Option Modules

This document provides instructions for accessing option menus and configuring small option modules (SOMs) in UniSoft offline without being connected to a Unidrive drive. It explains that SOM block diagrams and menu 20 parameters can be made visible by changing option module codes in menu 16 and parameter 17.01 to 1-4 and 1, respectively. This allows pre-configuring a Unidrive setup file offline in UniSoft before connecting to a physical drive. The author's contact information is provided for any additional questions.

Application Note CTAN #116

The Application Note is pertinent to the Unidrive Family

UniSoft and the Option Modules


Accessing Option Menus with UniSoft Off-Line When demonstrating UniSoft it is sometimes desirable to examine the graphic block diagram for the various SOMs ( Small Option Modules) however, UniSoft readily doesnt allow a SOM diagram to appear unless it is connected on-line with a Unidrive that has a particular SOM in it. Attempting to bring up an SOM block diagram will yield the message: No Option Module Fitted More importantly, it is desirable to be able to pre-configure a Unidrive using UniSoft while in the office and create a setup file without being connected to a drive. Your setup may be requiring a SOM but it not intuitively apparent how to achieve setting it up in the off-line state.

Hint:
The SOM block diagrams can be activated using the following procedure: 1) Go to the PARAMETER pull down menu and select DISPLAY BY MENU

2) Select MENU 16 from the pull down menu and this will make the SOM code number available

3) If you double-click on the Option module code line, a description of the option module codes will appear.

5) After youve made your SOM selection, you can now go to the pull down menu and select MENU 16 and that block diagram will now be visible and will be able to be manipulated.

Menu 20 Application Parameter Access


For similar reasons mentioned above it may be necessary to pre-configure the MENU 20 parameters for a UD70 application program. UniSoft readily doesnt allow the LOM parameters to appear unless it is connected on-line with a Unidrive that has a LOM in it. Attempting to bring up Menu 20 will yield the message:

In a similar manner as outline above, Menu 20 parameters can be made visible to be viewed and manipulated.
