AutoMax V3 Executive Software
We are pleased to announce the latest release of Version 3 AutoMax Programming Executive. Similar to all releases since Version 3.5, the AutoMax Executive and the Distributed Power (DPS) options split into separate model numbers allowing AutoMax users to select the appropriate DPS options for their system. If DPS is not used in an AutoMax system, only the primary AutoMax V3 Executive is required. If one or several DPS drives have been utilized for a project, the primary V3 AutoMax Executive plus the DPS options are required. The DPS options can be installed with any of the V3 AutoMax primary software packages - single user, runtime or shared user executives.
significantly streamlining the update process.
Some of the key features included in the AutoMax V3 Executives are:
• Microsoft© Windows™ - can be used with Windows 95/98/2000/NT
4.0
• Supports Distributed Power Systems including A-C, D-C, and Brushless drives in one integrated platforms.
• Supports multi-tasking of up to 32 tasks in one AutoMax Rack with the offline Task Manager Screen capable of up to 64 tasks.
• Repair feature now allows the user to recover the backup databases.
• Help buttons have been added to most dialog boxes.
Previously, with the introduction of any new AutoMax Distributed Power System products (seven to date), a new release of the AutoMax Programming Executive was required. Any changes or enhancements to the DPS software required the entire executive to be upgraded. Now, when updates and enhancements become available, specific options can be upgraded without changing unaffected portions of the AutoMax software. Applications using a DPS product can add or upgrade DPS software without changing the Programming Executive or the AutoMax operating system -
The previous model numbers for the AutoMax Programming Executive are available by special request. Refer to page 2 of theis document for a listing of the current model numbers. Updates can be applied to the AutoMax V3 Executive without affecting the DPS software.
