Board files are used to store the following pieces of information:
Names of each axis
Parameters of each axis (configuration word, scale, offset, etc.)
Command fields for each axis, except the Command itself (Mode through Command Value).
Plot times for each axis.
Hardware configuration of the RMC. This includes:
List of the physical modules included (e.g. PROFIBUS-DP, RMC100 CPU, two MDTs).
List of options for these modules. This includes all settings modified through the RMC Configuration dialog box (e.g. PROFIBUS station address, MDT blanking periods, number of SSI data bits, analog board channel assignments).
Refer to Using Multiple RMCs for general board file information.
To create a new board file:
On the File menu, click New.
The resulting board file will have the following characteristics:
It will use the communication path that is currently selected.
The parameters and commands will be reset to the defaults.
The axis names will be set to the default axis names.
The plot times will be set to the minimum (1ms for 1ms control loops, 2ms for 2ms control loops).
The hardware configuration will be set to the current RMC configuration.
