Communications
This feature is used to configure the RS-232 communication or Ethernet settings between
the computer and the workcell. PathMaster® uses control handles to store all
communication settings for a machine. The information in the control handles is stored in
the Windows® registry. PathMaster® can have multiple control handles configured, but
only one control handle can be selected at a time. When PathMaster is installed it creates
controller 1 as an Ethernet controller with an IP address of 100.100.100.101 as a default.
These settings are found in the Machine Parameters window.
Figure 64: Communications
The table below has the list of IP Addresses referenced directly by PathMaster® or its
underlying architecture.

Change Controller
Select “Change Controller” to select from any pre-configured controller handles stored in
the Windows® registry.
No Reset Download
If you select this feature the workcell will not reset when the project is downloaded. The
DMC Motion Controller must have the latest firmware revision (D220S36N or higher) to use
this feature. The main program of the machine must be programmed for this feature. If the
main program has not been changed, the workcell will show a command error. Refer to the
Troubleshooting document for more information.
Saving Machine Parameters
When all machine parameters have been set, select the “Save & Close” button to save the
parameters and return to the main PathMaster® window.

Program Details
Main Program Modifications
If it is sometimes necessary to make changes in the main program that runs the workcell.
You must correctly download the corrected main file to prevent any problems. Use a text
editor, such as Windows
®
Notepad or Winpad to open the
Main
program.
Common Main Program Changes
There are a few sets of points that regularly need to be changed, these include: standby
position, purge position, solvent cup position, and calibration position. In the main program
these settings are in the Machine Specific Information section (near the end of the file). An
example is shown below:
