Chapter 5 - Configuring Impulse with an IDC Keypad

Section 2 - Configuring Impulse with an IDC Keypad

This chapter contains information and steps for developing an Impulse project file with the FP100 keypad. Configuring all parameters in the EDIT menu will ensure that your project file is setup correctly.

The task of configuring your Impulse for a specific application consists of customizing a number of software parameters to match the mechanics of the system. These parameters include motor setup, I/O, jog, stored move profiles, and advanced tuning.

Application Note: If a project file was created in Application Developer using the Extended level of Numeric Precision (Axis Setup > Command > Numeric Precision > Extended), you will receive a precision error message when the file is loaded into a keypad. Only the Standard level of numeric precision (Axis Setup > Command > Numeric Precision > Standard) is compatible with the precision level of the keypad. See Chapter 4, Configuring Impulse with Application Developer.

The configuration procedures in this section will follow the format of the example below:
