Quick Start
The quick start guide provides information on the basic operation and functions of the FM-3.
The quick start steps cover only the most basic steps required to setup a FM-3 module for use
with a drive.
Basic Setup Steps
Step 1: Opening a New Configuration Window
To open a new configuration window, click either on the New File icon at the left end of the
PowerTools Pro toolbar, or click on File-New from the menubar as shown in 72.
Figure 72: Opening a new Configuration
This opens a new offline configuration window allowing you to setup all FM-3 parameters.
The communication status remains “offline” until the configuring is complete and you
download the application to the FM-3.
Step 2: Enter All Setup Data
General Setup View
The FM-3 software view is broken up into two areas. The left side view contains the
configuration hierarchy window, which acts as a navigation frame. Some elements in the
hierarchy can be expanded to show more detailed setup views. Elements with a “+” icon to
the left of them may be expanded for added detail.
To expand the element, place your mouse pointer over the “+” symbol and click on it using
the left mouse button. The group then expands to show the setup views underneath it. To
collapse the expanded group, click on the “-“ symbol located to the left of the group heading.
