Configuring the Power Mate H
The Power Mate H is a high-performance motion controller with an extensive set of features and
can be adapted to many different applications. You can easily make adjustments to alter or
improve your motion system using data registers in the Power Mate H. These data registers are
called parameters. They are the mechanism for configuring your Power Mate H motion system
for your specific hardware configuration and application requirements.
The Power Mate H contains several hundred parameters. However, only a small number of these
must be set for most applications. The default values for the remaining parameters are typically
suitable. The parameters that must be set are defined later in this chapter.
Symbols in this chapter are used to indicate certain keys that you must press. For example, the
following symbol indicates that the key is located on the either the MDI panel of the CRT/MDI
unit or on the DPL/MDI unit.
