6 Kickstart Modules
6.2.1 Setup
The Setup panel is used for various configuration and simple testing tasks:
NOTICe
Use initial setup functions with care. It is strongly recommended to perform initial setup functions with only one drive unit
connected to Kickstart, and not within a full CANopen installation with several drive nodes.
Initial Setup
Assign or change the CAN Node ID or CAN Baud Rate.
The following panels are available after starting a drive node using the Start Drive button:
• Test Velocity
Switch the drive to operation mode “Profile Velocity Mode” and perform basic velocity control (settarget velocity, acceleration and
deceleration).
• Test Position
Switch the drive to operation mode “Profile Position Mode” and perform basic positioning control. (Set target position and enable
positioning; set additional profile position parameters like velocity.)
• Homing
Test basic homing methods, including Homing Mode 35 to reset the actual position to zero (new reference position) without moving the
drive.
6.2.2 Object Editor
The Object editor module is used for reading, editing and writing device parameters. It is also where you can define any Data Object
that can be used in other modules like the CANopen Node, Scope or the UI Panel modules.
The Object Editor panel consists of two parts:
• Object Dictionary (Device Description)
The upper part of the Object Editor panel is used to display a dictionary of parameters available for a device. The parameter descriptions
are defined by a XDD / XDC configuration file. Use the
Open Dict function to load a different / new configuration file.
• Object editor
Drag one or several parameters from the Object Dictionary to the Object Editor table to make them available for reading, editing and
writing.
Object editor Basic Functions
Read
Read the selected values from the device (CANopen Upload). If nothing is selected in the Object Editor table, all values are read.
edit
Use this function or double click on an element in the Value / Editor column. The values are not written to the device immediately, unless
Synch Mode is used.
Write
Write the selected values to the device (CANopen Download). If nothing is selected in the Object Editor table, all writable values are
downloaded.
