Manually define the Pickit macros

Here we’ll explain how to define the Pickit macros manually without overwriting any existing macros.

Define macros

Booting the controller in normal mode, the macros can be defined manually. To do this go to SYSTEM → SETUP → MACRO INST..

Note

In order to use the example Pickit files, the macros should be defined in the exact same order as shown in the image below. Otherwise, the example files should be adapted with the correct macro ID’s before being run.

	EXECUTE JOB	SUSPEND JOB
MACRO1	PI_CALIB	********
MACRO2	PI_LOOK	********
MACRO3	PI_WAIT	********
MACRO4	PI_NEXT	********
MACRO5	PI_CFG	********
MACRO6	PI_SAVE	********
MACRO7	PI_RUN	********
MACRO8	PI_GPPD	********
MACRO9	PI_CAPTU	********
MACRO10	PI_PROCE	********
MACRO11	PI_BUILD	********
MACRO12	PI_REACH	********
MACRO13	PI_CYL	********
MACRO14	PI_CLCAL	********
MACRO15	PI_CFCAL	********
MACRO16	PI_VCAL	********
MACRO17	PI_SV_PD	********
MACRO18	PI_SV_ST	********

Macro argument definition

For macro PI_CALIB and PI_CFG, arguments need to be defined.

To do this select the MACROXX text and press SELECT.

Here set ARG. SET to USE and fill in COMMENT1, TYPE and COMMENT2. Press PAGE, select define 2, and fill in DISPLAY and EXPRES”N. The values that need to be filled in can be found in the table below.

Data	ARG.no	define 1			define 2
		COMMENT1	TYPE	COMMENT2	COMMENT1	DISPLAY	EXPRES’N
PI_CALIB	1	USER FRAME	B CONST		USER FRAME	ON	U/FRAME:
PI_CFG	1	SETUP	I CONST		SETUP	ON	SETUP:
	2	PRODUCT	I CONST		PRODUCT	ON	PRODUCT:
	3	USER FRAME	I CONST	1-63	USER FRAME	ON	U/FRAME:
	4	TOOL	I CONST	1-64	TOOL	ON	TOOL:
	5	TIMEOUT	I CONST	ms	TIMEOUT	ON	TIMEOUT:
PI_CYL	1	CYL LENGTH	I CONST	mm	CYL LENGTH	ON	LENGTH:
	2	CYL DIAMETER	I CONST	mm	CYL DIAMETER	ON	DIAM:

If the arguments are set correctly, the screen will be similar as shown below. Now the Pickit macros are correctly defined, and you’re all set to continue with the Yaskawa integration.
