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 confi guring your Impul se for a specific applic ation 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 us ing the Extended level
of Numeric Precision (Axis Setup > Command > Numeric Precision > Extended), you will receive
a pr ecision err or 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:
