2 Backup method of system parameters | Kohzu Precision Co., Ltd

1. Backup method of 1system parameters

This instruction manual describes the backup procedure using Chamonix, the standard

control software made by our company. Chamonix is available without fee from the Web

site of our company.2

2. Preparation for backup of system parameters

Chamonix communicates with a SC controller using 3RS-232C (Figure 1). The

communication baud rate of Chamonix is 115200 baud by default. Since the baud rate of a

SC controller is 38400 baud by default, it is necessary to change the setting of Chamonix.

The changing method of baud rate is also described next. If the DIP switch of the

controller's back is changed from default, return to the original position4.

Figure 1 RS-232C cable

1 System parameters saved in a SC controller may be referred to as system settings on control software of our company and old version of documents for SC controllers, etc. When referring to these documents, please regard system parameters in this manual as system settings. 2 Please read the terms and conditions for use of "Chamonix". 3 "SC controller" in this manual refers to SC-200, SC-200K, SC-200T, SC-400, SC-800, SC-210, and SC-410. A part of special custom-made products is excluded. 4 For details, refer to the instruction manual of corresponding SC controller.

RS-232C cable (cross)

•For details, refer to "2-3 Connecting Method" of the SC controller and "2-3 Connection Method" in the instruction manual of Chamonix respectively.

3. Start Chamonix

3.1. Select a port

When Chamonix is started, the following main form screen is displayed (Figure 5). This is

because a correct port to which the SC controller is connected is not selected correctly. If

the error dialog does not open, it connects to the SC controller automatically.

Figure 5 Main form when COM is not specified correctly


Kohzu Precision Co., Ltd | Select a port 7

Right click "Connect" in "Chamonix" to open the communication settings menu.

Figure 6 Starting the communication settings form

Select the port to which the SC controller is connected from "COM port" in the opened

menu and baud rate (default is 38400 baud), and click "Connect" in the menu or push the

"Connect" button in the main form.


8 Connect to SC controller | Kohzu Precision Co., Ltd

3.2. Connect to SC controller

When connection to the SC controller is successful, the main form as shown in Figure 7 is

displayed. The figure shows the screen when connected to SC-410. For SC-020, 021, SC-

200, SC-200K, and SC-200T, only 2 axes are displayed.

Figure 7 Main form after connecting to SC controller (SC-410)

When the connection is conducted correctly, "Connected to SC (model name)" is displayed

in the status tool bar at the bottom of the main form. Please check the message is

displayed.

4. Backup system parameters

4.1. Start system parameters

When the "System" button of each axis is pushed, the pushed button turns ON in green as

shown in Figure 8, and the setting window of "System Parameters" as shown in Figure 9 is

displayed. In these figures, the "System Parameters" setting window of PMI axis is

displayed.

Figure 8 Start System Parameters of PM1

When the "System Parameters" setting window is opened, system parameters of the axis

are extracted from the controller. In the example shown in Figure 9, the parameters of PM1

axis only are extracted.

In Chamonix, it is required to save backup per axis of the SC controller. Please

note that it does not mean to save backup of all axes as a batch.

4.2. Save, print and send system parameters

The values of "System Parameters" in each axis can be saved as binary format (*.bin) or

XML format 6file. The saved file can be imported as the parameters of a displayed axis by

pushing the "Open" button. For the position of each button, refer to Figure 10.

Figure 10 Open, Save, Print, and Send buttons

Push the "Print" button to print parameters. Push the "Send" button to apply edited system

parameters as parameters of the axis in the SC controller.

In Chamonix, it is required to save backup per axis of the SC controller. Please

note that it does not mean to save backup of all axes as a batch.

6 XML1.1 (JIS X 4159:2005) format is used.

• Push the "Open" button to import system parameters saved in binary format or XML format to Chamonix.

Open• Push the "Print" button to

print system parameters of the SC controller.

Kohzu Precision Co., Ltd | Configuration of XML file 13

4.3. Configuration of XML file

Saved XML file is shown in Figure 12. The file is configured with such variables as a model

of the controller, display resolutions inside Chamonix, each parameter and speed table.

Though each variable is editable, the order of variables cannot be changed. If the order of

variables is changed, it may not be read correctly.

Figure 12 Example when a saved XML file is opened

Our company does not recommend modifying a backup file with anything but

Chamonix. From the standpoint, it is recommended to save as a binary file.


14 Reset system parameters with Chamonix | Kohzu Precision Co., Ltd

5. Reset system parameters with Chamonix

SC-020 and SC-021 do not have a front panel. Therefore, reset should be performed by

sending RST command with control software like Chamonix or by setting SYS No.36 of the

system parameters to 1 with the optional product, RC-10 (production has finished). The

reset method of system parameters using Chamonix is described.

Figure 13 Command button

As shown in Figure 13, push the Command button at the top part of the main form.

"Chamonix Command Control" opens. As shown in Figure 14, enter "RST" in the sending

box at the bottom part, and push the "Enter" key to send the RST command to the SC

controller. As shown in the figure, the reply from the SC controller is displayed as "→C RST" that indicates the system parameters are successfully reset.

When system parameters are reset, the values of all system parameters become the default values. Always perform backup before execution.
