functionality for every application. VCL provides exible CAN
communication and I/O conguration. It for customized wiring/setup
and easy integration of Curtis instrumentation. VCL enables Curtis
motor controllers to perform as ‘vehicle managers’ eliminating the need
for costly, additional system controllers.
Note, for migrating existing non-F-series VCL to the F-series controllers,

SDO WRITE MESSAGE
To retain parameter values in non-volatile memory (NVM) via CANopen SDO write messages,
write a non-zero value to SDO_NVM_Write_Enable (Object Index 0x2008, sub-index 0x00) before
changing parameter values. is will cause parameter changes to be written to non-volatile memory.
Note that having the SDO_NVM_Write_Enable set to zero only saves the parameter changes to
ephemeral (RAM) memory.
