INFORMATION
To change parameter values, you can use the commands listed in "General Commands for
Parameters" (p. 186) and "Commands for Fast Access to Individual Parameters" (p. 187). But if
you want to access the parameters in a more convenient way, you should use the
Device
Parameter Configuration
window of PIMikroMove (for an example, see p. 53).
Read "Device Parameter Configuration" in the PIMikroMove manual.
Determine, modify and save parameter values with the corresponding buttons and menu
items in the
Device Parameter Configuration
window.
INFORMATION
If changing the parameter value requires command level 1, switch to command level 1 as follows:
In a terminal program: Send
CCL 1 advanced
When prompted to enter a password in any PC software, e.g. in PIMikroMove:
Enter
advanced
.
On command levels > 1, write access is only available to PI service personnel.
Contact the customer service department if there seem to be problems with parameters of
command level 2 or higher (p. 234).
INFORMATION
The number of write cycles in the nonvolatile memory is restricted by the limited lifetime of the
memory chip (EEPROM).
Overwrite the default values only when it is necessary.
Save the current parameter values to the PC (p. 53) before you make changes in the
nonvolatile memory.
Contact our customer service department (p. 234), if the E-727 exhibits unexpected behavior.
INFORMATION
E-727 models with EtherCAT interface (p. 164):
You can read or write parameter values via the TCP/IP or USB interface only. Before you
access parameter settings, make sure that these interfaces are enabled: TCP/IP and USB will
be enabled again after a delay of 100 ms when the E-727 has left the OPERATIONAL EtherCAT
communication state.
Change parameter values in the nonvolatile memory and reboot the E-727 afterwards to
make the changes effective in the EtherCAT bus.
