Resumen del manual
Profiles definedA profile contains the initialization settings needed for communication between a device and device driver. The data in a profile is used by VWorks or BenchWorks software to identify each device on the network. A profile can also contain other basic settings that you are unlikely to change once set up. Because profiles identify device driver devices on the network, each device driver device must have its own profile. You can create, modify, and delete profiles as needed. Stored settingsProfiles are stored in the Windows registry. The settings stored in a device driver profile include: .Whether the device is connected using serial or Ethernet .If the device is connected using Ethernet, the Device ID of the device on the network .If the device is connected using serial, the COM port that the controlling computer uses for communication .Configuration of accessories Related topics Setting the properties for a device About this topicThe device properties provide VWorks or BenchWorks software with additional information about the device’s current configuration, such as which profile to use, and stores the information in the device file. The device file is automatically loaded when you open a protocol. The device properties need to be set when configuring the device. Typically, these properties only need to be set once. This topic describes how to set the following device properties: .General .Teachpoint .Barcode .Location (for devices with multiple teachpoints) .Device Properties Read this topic if you are an administrator in charge of managing Velocity11 devices. Before you startMake sure that you have installed the device driver plug-in and have added the device to the device manager. See “Related information” for procedures on how to do these tasks. Setting general properties To set the general properties for a device: 1.Click the Device Manager tab. 2.Select the device from the Device List toolbar. (Expand the device name, if necessary.) Note: For devices with Locations, see “Setting location properties” on page 17. If no Locations, continue with step 3. 3.In the General group, set the following: 4.In the Device Properties, select the desired profile if it is not already selected. 5.Select File > Device File > Save to save the changes to the device file. Setting teachpointsTeachpoints are the coordinates in space that a robot travels to in order to interact with a device. Only the devices that are accessible by robots are able to have teachpoints. To set the teachpoint properties: 1.Open the Device Properties page. 2.In the Teachpoints property group, set the following: Setting barcode location If your device has a barcode reader, indicate where the reader is located. To set the barcode readers property: 1.In the Barcode Readers property group, set the side that has the barcode to Yes. 2.Enter the number of the COM port to which the device is connected. Setting location properties Note: The options available under Location groups might differ for software and hardware device drivers. Software devices do not have robot-accessible labware positions. For hardware devices that have more than one robot-accessible labware position, the approach height, allowable/prohibited labware, teachpoint, and barcode properties are located under Location groups. To set the Location properties: 1.Hardware device drivers only. Set the Use linked location. Follow the procedure in “Setting the Use linked location” on page 18. 2.Hardware device drivers only Set the Teachpoints. Follow the procedure in “Setting teachpoints” on page 17. 3.Some software device drivers only. Set the Approach height and Allowed/prohibited labware. Follow the procedure in “Setting general properties” on page 16. 4.Set the Barcode Readers location. Follow the procedure in “Setting barcode location” on page 17. 5.Assign the Labware used by the location by selecting the correct labware type from the list. 6.In the Device Properties, select the desired profile if it is not already selected. 7.Select File > Device File > Save to save the changes to the device file. Setting the Use linked location Currently, this feature is enabled for the special situations in which there is a storage device such as a PlateHub Carousel, StoreX, or Cytomat and a robot, such as the Velocity11 Translator robot that is shuttling plates between systems. To use this feature, select yes and then select the device location to which you want to link. This tells the software that the current device location is the same physical location as the device selected from the Device to use list. Note: Selecting this option when it is not enabled will have no effect on the system.
