In PIMikroMove for the PI E-727 controller, the "Device Parameter Configuration Window" is located under the "Startup" menu. To access it, follow these steps:
1. Open PIMikroMove. 2. Go to the "Startup" menu in the top toolbar. 3. Select "Device Parameter..." from the dropdown menu.
This opens the Device Parameter Configuration Window, where you can view and modify controller settings.

Data Recording How to Use the Data Recorder The E-727 includes a real-time data recorder. It is able to record several input and output signals (e.g. current position, sensor input, output voltage) from different data sources (e.g. controller axes, input and output channels, digital inputs and outputs). The gathered data is stored (temporarily) in "data recorder tables"—each table contains the signal from one data source.

To let the sensor on the analog input line participate in the position signal of an axis, set the corresponding coefficient in the input matrix to 1 for that axis. Example: With an E-727.3CDA, an external sensor is connected to input signal channel 4 (pins 2 and 9 of Analog I/O). This sensor is to be used to measure the position of axis 1, i.e.
ID of the analog input line. Example: The input signal channel 7 (pins 5 and 12 of Analog I/O) of an E-727.3CDA model is to be deactivated temporarily (i.e. in volatile memory). The input matrix coefficients of that channel correspond to the Position from Sensor 7 parameters (ID 0x07000506) for axis 1 to axis 3.

How to Work with the Analog Output - Overview With models E-727.xxxA and .xxxAx, one analog output is available on pin 8 of the Analog I/O socket (p. 228). This analog output is accessible in the firmware of the E-727 as output signal channel 4.

For further details, see the description of the output signal channels in „Axes, Channels, Functional Elements“ (p. 20) and the information in „E-727.xxxA, E-727.xxxAx: Analog I/O“ (p. 228).

Basic Data The number of wave tables can be queried using the SPA? command, parameter ID 0x1300010A. The E-727 has 40 wave tables for creating and (temporarily) storing arbitrary waveforms (identifiers are 1 to 40). To ask for the number of wave generators, use the TWG? command. The assignment of wave generators and axes to each other is fixed: wave generator 1 is connected to axis 1, wave generator 2 to axis 2, ..., wave generator n to axis n.
Generator Output = Offset + Current Wave Value If the wave generator is started with the option "start at the endpoint of the last cycle", the E-727 at the end of each output cycle equates the WOS offset value with the current generator output.
Page 101
As long as the corresponding axis is set up to be commanded by analog control input, you can stop the wave generator output, but not restart it. Physik Instrumente (PI) GmbH & Co. KG, Auf der Roemerstrasse 1, 76228 Karlsruhe, Germany Page 101 / 240 Phone +49 721 4846-0, Fax +49 721 4846-1019, Email info@pi.ws,...

Page 103

PI-controller with minimum latency and update rates as high as the servo frequency of the PI- controller. It is also possible to send and receive ASCII data so that the host has full access to the PI General Command Set (GCS).
2 = The data received from the host is used as current axis position. If this option is selected, the E-727 ignores the current axis position provided by the sensor channels via the input matrix (p. 29).
Whenever the PI-controller receives new target position data transferred by data segment 1, the PI-controller latches this new data and overwrites the old data. In case that a CRC error occurs and no new target position data could be received, the PI-controller uses the latched target position data which was most recently received.
The value N can be any number between 0 and 15 so that the position data of up to 15 axes can be transferred. Note that with E-727, the behaviour is as follows: In the first data packet sent by the slave (E-727) after power-on, the number of axes ...

4 axes then the controller will update the 3 present axes and ignore the 4 target value. Generally, the E-727 responds with the number of axes (CNT1) it has received from the host in the previous cycle, provided that this number is equal to or less than 4. Exception: In the first data packet sent by the E-727 after power-on, the number of axes is zero (CNT1 = 0).
Only changes of the SMC bits have an effect on the servo mode. Therefore the first servo-mode changing command which is received by the E-727 after power-on is saved internally by the E-727 and is only used to detect changes of the SMC bits.
1, sent by the host: For example, the host sends the first data fraction with data packet 1, the PI-controller sends an acknowledge to this with data packet 2 and then the host can send the next fraction with data packet 3.
E727T0005, valid for E-727 BRO, 2019-06-28 It is also possible that the PI-controller needs more than one cycle for processing of data which was sent by the host. In the following example the PI-controller needs one extra cycle for command data processing so that data packet 3 from PI-controller is the answer to data packet 1 from the host side.
DCLK: Data Output Clock The PI-controller returns the SCLK as DCLK line (see next figure). The host can use the DCLK line for the reception of the MISO line. With this method the delays caused by the transmission line, the LVDS-divers and receivers can be compensated.

Follow the procedure described for case 1. Case 3: After reboot or power cycling of the E-727, at least one of the following LEDs indicates a failed firmware update (e.g. due to power failure or communication error): Ch1/2 OFL is permanently flashing while all other LEDs are off: FPGA firmware does ...
3. Clean the E-727 case surface with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild cleanser or disinfectant. Changing the Fuse The E-727 is equipped with a cartridge fuse. The fuse holder is located on the front panel of the case (p. 14). To access the fuse, proceed as follows: 1.
Make sure that your network administrator has not set the network to forbid unknown devices like the E-727 to log on. Note that if the controller is already connected to your or another host PC via TCP/IP, a second TCP/IP session cannot be established.

Reading/writing While parameter values are being read from or written to the nonvolatile memory parameters from/to of the E-727, the servo mode is temporarily switched off. This may lead to faulty nonvolatile memory control or large position errors. Observe the following when you use the commands SEP, SEP?, RPA, WPA, or the corresponding operating elements in the PC software: - Avoid motions of the axes.
