Replacing the XMP Controller Card and Loading Configuration Files
The Multi-Ply Cutter uses one XMP Controller card located inside the Computer. The XMP controller card commu-
nicates over the purple network cables with all of the Motor Amplifiers and the Slice Input/Output (IO) cards. This
communication results in coordinated motion between the Gantry Cutting Tools and the Conveyor System
insuring the most accurate cutting possible. The Configuration Files contain parameters for each node on the
network (Controller Card, Amp, Slice IO, etc.).
In the rare case that a Controller Card needs replacement, the loading of the proper Configuration Files should be
done with the help of Eastman’s Technical Service Department. If the Multi-Ply Machine’s Computer is hooked up
to the internet, Eastman’s Technical Service Department has the capability of remotely accessing your machine
through the internet and loading the proper files for you. If not, technical service can be provided over the phone.
Do not attempt to load the files yourself. Improper parameters can result in unpredictable
machine operation. This may cause damage to your machine or injury to an operator.
