5.7.1 Editing the parameters
The LinMot
®
software supports different parameter types, that the Parameter Inspector
displays in different ways. There are four main groups.
Directories contain collections of objects, just like in the Windows interface. These are
either parameters or other directories. A directory can be recognized from the little
arrow on the side of its name. It can be opened by clicking once on its name with the
mouse.
Not all directories are displayed at all times. If, for example, “No Drive” is selected as
the “Drive Type” for drive A it makes little sense to be able to edit the controller
parameters for that drive. For this reason those parameters will not be displayed.
These parameters contain numerical values or character chains. When such a parameter
is selected, its value appears in the lower status bar of the window. At this point a new
value can be entered in the entry field. After clicking on the “Enter” button the value is
tested to make sure it lies within the boundaries that were set. If the parameter is correct
it is transmitted to the electronic unit and at the same time converted in the internal
units. This can lead to small discrepancies between the value that was entered and the
value that is actually displayed once it has been transmitted. The values entered are
rounded to the values that are stored in the electronic unit (according to the resolution of
the unit).
Live parameters are actualized immediately on the electronic unit after a change,
whereas normal parameters are saved to the unit only after a new start.
For example, the controller parameters are live parameters. As soon as the controller
settings are modified, the connected motor will behave accordingly. This way it is
possible to change the controller parameters without having to stop and restart the
software every time.
Live parameters are marked with a small L symbol on the left side of their name.
With selection parameters only one entry out of many can be selected. This is done by
double-clicking or by hitting the “Enter” key. Selection parameters are marked with a
small circle on the left side of their name. The selected parameter appears with a filled
circle.
The On/Off parameters, as the names tells, can be turned either on or off by double-
clicking. In most cases a whole group of these parameters is included in a directory.
On/Off parameters are marked with a small square on the left side of their name, that is
checked if the parameter is active.
