For MovingCap CODE Python applications, there are freely usable data objects that can be written / read / permanently saved in the same way as all other drive parameters.

In addition or as an alternative, the parameter objects of the input functions can be used for predefined travel profiles with positions, speeds etc., even if no input function to be executed is defined there.
NOTE: All parameters (CiA 402 standard parameters or MovingCap-specific parameter ranges as described here) can be set via the
•the web interface and REFGO commands OW and OR,
•the Kickdrive object editor,
•or in CODE/Python via the mcdrive commands WriteObject and ReadObject
can be written or read.
Permanent saving or return to factory settings via program code
Parameter changes in a CiA 301-compatible device are initially only retained in the volatile memory and are reset to the previously known setting after switching off/on again.
The CiA 301 standard objects 1010h and 1011h are available for permanent changes to the permanent memory (non-volatile memory / NVM / EEPROM).
The following operations for the permanent memory are triggered by writing the corresponding object value:

"save" |
Saves the current parameter settings and the Python script permanently in the non-volatile memory (NVM/EEPROM). Execution via web interface / RefGo command: Corresponds to the web interface button Store Permanently or the Kickdrive Object Editor function Store. |
1011h |
01h |
unsigned32 |
0x64616F6C |
"load" |
Resets the current parameters and the non-volatile memory to the factory settings. Deletes the Python script. Execution via web interface / RefGo command: Corresponds to the web interface button Factory Reset or the Kickdrive Object Editor function Reset. |
NOTE: By executing "load" / "Factory Reset", all application-specific settings and any changed controller settings will be lost. Make sure that you have saved any changes to settings in advance, e.g. by reading them out using the Kickdrive object editor.
