Station Controller Setup
All station controllers must be properly connected to the RS232 switched network. The
following commands are issued from a computer connected to the central RS232 network
switcher.
STATION
Enters the directory containing the programs for initializing the
station controllers. (This is usually located at H:\CIMSYS\ST).
INITST
Before performing the download, the system must be informed of
various configuration options. This is performed by running the
INITST program. This program prompts the user for all the
necessary station configuration data.
INITST defines the robots and machines used in the system. This
enables the proper downloading of CIM-ACL system programs to
each station controller (using DNLST). The user is prompted for:
- Number of stations
- Station number of ASRS (usually station number 1)
- Type of robot (SCORBOT-ER Vplus or SCORBOT-ER VII)
- Number of machines at station
- Whether robot is mounted on slidebase at each station
This information is saved in the file SETUP.CIM. This program
should only be used at the time of installation, or when changes are
made in the configuration.
DNLST n
Erases the current controller contents and performs initial loading of
CIM-ACL programs and user station programs to the station
controller.
For example:
DNLST 2 downloads all necessary CIM-ACL programs to the
station 2 controller.
Several controllers can be downloaded simultaneously, using the
number parameters for specific stations, or the A parameter for all
stations.
For example:
DNLST 3 4 5 loads the controllers of stations 3, 4 and 5.
DNLST A loads programs to all the controllers.
This procedure requires 5 – 20 minutes and should not be halted. If
the downloading is stopped before it has finished, you will need to
start the process over from the beginning.
