5.13.6 Writing curves to the electronic unit

User Manual V1.01
As a last step we want to write the defined curves to the electronic unit, so that we can
see the actual movement be executed by the motor.
We select the "Motion" curve in the curve window and move it to the download window
by clicking on the "Right" button. There are now four curves in the download window.
We delete the curves "Linear Out" and "Hold" by selecting them and pressing the
"Delete" key on the keyboard. The Curve Inspector window now appears as follows:

We save the two curves that are in the download window. For this purpose we click on
the "Save" button and give the file the name "Motion1.csv". We now program the two
curves in the electronic unit. This is done by clicking on the "Download" button
confirming the process with "OK". The curves are now being written to the electronic
unit.
Finally, we test the curves. For this the electronic unit must be configured correctly. We
load the standard configuration by clicking on "Import" and selecting the one
appropriate for the electronic unit we are using. For an E400 this would be
400AT01.cfg, for an E1000 it would be 1000AT01.cfg and so on. The configuration is
now loaded and we can adjust the parameters according to our application.
We set the "Drive Type" of channel A to LinMot Pxx-23 (LinMot Pxx-37) in
Drives\Drive A\Type. As the curve we created was written to the electronic unit as
number 2, we must set Drives\Drive A\Set Value Generation\Curve Number to 2. We
are now ready to start. We open the Control Panel ("Control" button in the
Commander), click on "Stop" and then on "Start". The motor initializes and executes
our "Motion" curve cyclically.
