This section explains the features of GX Configurator-AP.
(1) Outstanding operability
1) Positioning data and start block data can be cut, copied and pasted efficiently.
Drag the batch setting range! Typing "1" sets "1: ABS Line 1" in the top cell!
2) Data created with MicrosoftR Excel or Word can be copied and
[Useful drag range batch setting operation example]
utilized as positioning data.
[Example of utilizing Excel data as positioning data]

1. OVERVIEW
MELSOFT
(3) Checking connect of general-purpose servo system
In a general-purpose servo system which uses the AD75P(S3) positioning module, the checking connect function of GX Configurator-AP allows the AD75P(S3) to be initialized, I/O signals to/from external devices to be monitored, and JOG operation to be performed. The connection of the positioning system can be checked by monitoring signals from the external devices, and the rotation directions of servomotors can be checked by performing JOG operation.
Servo amplifiers
External devices such as servomotors
and limit switches
(4) Utilization of SW1RX/IVD/NX-AD75P data
GX Configurator-AP
AD75P
Connection of the positioning system using the AD75P can be checked from the peripheral device.
Since the data created with type SW1RX/IVD/NX-AD75P positioning module software package can be utilized on GX Configurator-AP, valuable resources can be used efficiently. GX Configurator-AP may also be saved as SW1RX/IVD/NX-AD75P format data.

1. OVERVIEW
(5) Enhanced functions assist debugging and maintenance
Functions have been enhanced the offline simulation function displays a virtual positioning result which has been calculated from the addresses and command speeds set in positioning data and the monitor function is useful for debugging and maintenance of the positioning system, e.g. sampling monitor which shows the positioning module's I/O signal, external I/O signal and buffer memory states with a line graph.
This example assumes that the following
positioning data was offline simulated.

Locus data is displayed for 2-axis interpolation control. Waveform data of speed is displayed for 1-axis control. When positioning data is set, offline simulation allows you to pre-assume axis operation in advance, reducing debugging time.

With the online help function, you can instantaneously check the occurrence factor and corrective action of the error or warning code displayed on the operation monitor, error history monitor or other screen of the positioning system.
<Operation monitor>
Error occurrence!
(7) Simultaneous start of GX Configurator-AP and GX Developer
GX Configurator-AP can be started simultaneously with the GX Developer. (Two COM ports are required to make communication with the programmable controller CPU and positioning module at the same time.)
[Example of starting GX Configurator-AP and GX Developer simultaneously]

1. OVERVIEW
MELSOFT
(8) Read from AD75/write to AD75/verify AD75 data can be performed
axis-by-axis on a data basis
GX Configurator-AP allows each of the positioning data, start block data and parameters to be specified as the object of read from AD75/write to AD75/verify AD75 data axis-by-axis. Further, positioning data can be specified on a data No. basis, and block No. 0 of start block data can be specified independently. Hence, during debugging when data is written frequently for modification, wasteful waiting time is greatly reduced to improve working efficiency.

Step 3: Start operation of GX Configurator-AP. Refer To
• Create a project which will be the object of operation performed on GX Configurator-AP. Chapter 6
Step 4: Check the connection and initial operation of the positioning system. Refer To
• Check the version of the positioning module.
• Check connection according to the signal states from the external devices..
• Check the alarm or warning of the positioning module.
• Check the alarm or warning of the servo amplifiers (AD75M only)
• Check that the initial settings are the same on the peripheral device and servo amplifiers.
(AD75M only)
• Check that the servomotors are run by JOG operation.

Step 5: Set and write data to the positioning module. Refer To
• Set the parameters appropriate for the positioning system and control.
• Set the servo parameters appropriate for the specifications of the servo amplifiers and motors
used.
• Set the positioning data.
• Check the parameter, positioning data and start block data settings on the error check screen.
• Check the positioning data on the offline simulation (virtual positioning) screen.
• Make the corresponding setting if start block data, condition data, indirect data or M code
comment is required.
• Write the set data to the positioning module. Chapter 10
Chapter 8
Chapter 9
Step 6: Perform test operation and check and adjust the settings. Refer To
• Check positioning control and test on the monitor screen.
• Specify the positioning data and perform test operation.
• Specify the start block data and perform test operation.
• Make software limit test and error compensation by current value change, JOG operation or
manual pulse generator operation.
• Perform original position return test.
• Perform speed change test to find proper speed.
• If motor torque is not proper, perform torque control test to change the setting.
• Check undershoot, settling time and oscillation width in the test of position control gain 1 of servo
parameters. (AD75M only)
Chapter 11
Step 7: Positioning system operation. Refer To
• Operate the positioning system with the programmable controller CPU program. AD75 User's Manual

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
• Before handling the RS-422 interface conversion cable/converter, please read its specifications, precautions, etc. carefully in the manual of the corresponding product and handle it correctly.
• When disconnecting or reconnecting the conversion cable/converter that receives 5VDC power from the RS-422 interface, switch power off on the programmable controller side before starting work.
• When disconnecting or reconnecting the peripheral device or conversion cable that does not receive 5VDC power from the RS-422 interface (whose power is supplied from an external power supply), be sure to use an earth band or touch a grounded metal object, etc. before starting work to discharge static electricity from the cable, human body, etc. After that, handle it in the following procedure.
1) Switch power off on the personal computer side.
2) Power off the conversion cable/converter. When it has an FG terminal, ground it.
3) Connect/disconnect the conversion cable/converter between the personal computer and programmable controller CPU.
4) Power on the conversion cable/converter.
5) Power on the personal computer.
6) Start up GX Configurator-AP
