3. Solution details
In the diagram above, we can see that sending parameter changes to the controller only can be achieved using the "Write and Start the project" button. Below is detailed walkthrough on parameter upload to a controller.
For this document, it's assumed that:
- An iCube project is already created.
- There exists a properly connected controller and SERVOPACK.
- The iCube project in the first point has already established connection to the controller mentioned in the second point.
- The iCube project was created from a sample project (e.g. Yaskawa iC9226M-EC/FSoE...; seen in the image directly below).
Solution Steps
- Launch iCube Engineer and open your project.
- Inside of the project, connect to the controller Connecting vs. Attaching (Debug On).
- Make sure that the servos are added to the EtherCAT node in the plant. The servos can be added offline by adding them to the device list or they can be bus scanned and discovered.
- Edit/check the parameters from the parameters tab on each servo.
- Right-click on your controller and click the "Write and Start the project" button.
- Exit debug mode and save your project.
