−
Type the new parameter value into the corresponding input field in the
Active
Value
column of the list. Press the
Enter
key on the PC keyboard or click with the
mouse outside the input field to transfer the parameter value to the volatile
memory of the C-863.12.
−
Click
Load and Save Parameters -> Load all startup parameters of the axis /
system from controller
in order to load the values of all axis-related / system-
related parameters from the nonvolatile memory of the C-863.12.
−
Click
Load and Save Parameters
> Load parameters from stage database…
in the
extended single-axis window to load a selected parameter set for the axis from the
positioner database. You can use
Load and Save Parameters > Reload parameters
from stage database…
to reload the currently loaded parameter set.
If you want to change parameter values in the nonvolatile memory, you have the
following options:
−
Type the new parameter value into the appropriate input field in the
Startup Value
column in the list. Press the
Enter
key on the PC keyboard or click with the mouse
outside the input field to transfer the parameter value to the nonvolatile memory
of the C-863.12.
−
Click
Load and Save Parameters -> Save all currently active axis / system
parameters as startup parameters to controller
to write the values of all axis-
related / system-related parameters from the volatile to the nonvolatile memory of
the C-863.12. You can skip parameters that do not have write access on the current
command level.
If a parameter value in the volatile memory (
Active Value
column) is different from the
parameter value in the nonvolatile memory (
Startup Value
column), the line in the list
is highlighted in color.

Creating or Changing a Positioner Type
You can select a parameter set appropriate for your positioner from a positioner database in
the PC software from PI. The software transfers the values of the selected parameter set to the
volatile or nonvolatile memory of the controller. For further information, see "Positioner
Databases" (p. 36).
You can create and edit new parameter records in the PIStages3 database. This can be required
in the following cases, for example:
▪
You want to operate a positioner with different servo control parameter settings than
the one from the default parameter set.
▪
You want to adapt the soft limits of the positioner to your application.
▪
You have a custom positioner.
INFORMATION
Possibilities for creating and editing parameter sets in the PISTAGES3.DB database:
▪
You can create a new positioner type easily by modifying an existing positioner type in
PIMikroMove and saving it under a new name.
