8.8.2.2 Configuring a Base Module as a Slave

The TL891/TL892 base modules are shipped configured as standalone systems. When they are used in conjunction with the TL890 DLT MiniLibrary expansion unit, the expansion unit must control the robotics of each of the base modules. Therefore, the base modules must be configured as a slave to the expansion unit.

After the hardware and cables are installed, but before you power up the expansion unit in a MiniLibrary system for the first time, you must reconfigure each of the base modules in the system as a slave. The expansion unit will not have control over the base module robotics when you power up the MiniLibrary system if you do not reconfigure the base modules as a slave.

To reconfigure a TL891/TL892 base module as a slave to the TL890 DLT MiniLibrary expansion unit, perform the following procedure on each base module in the system:

1.Turn on the power switch on the TL891/TL892 base module to be reconfigured.

____________________ Note _____________________

Do not power on the expansion unit. Leave it powered off until all base modules have been reconfigured as slaves.
