Saving objects
General
Many objects in the object dictionary can be saved and then automatically reloaded the next time the controller is switched on or reset. Furthermore, the saved values are also retained following a firmware update.
Only entire collections of objects (referred to in the following as categories) can be saved together; individual objects cannot be saved.
- Communication: Parameters related to external interfaces, such as PDO configuration etc.
- Application: Parameters related to operating modes.
- Customer: Parameters that are written and read by the customer/user only and are ignored by the controller firmware.
- Drive: Parameters related to the motor and the sensors (BLDC/Stepper, Closed/Open Loop…). Some are set and saved by auto setup.
- Tuning: Parameters related to motor and encoder that are set either by auto setup or that can be found in the data sheets, e.g., pole pairs and maximum current.
If an object is not assigned one of these categories, it cannot be saved, e.g., statusword and all objects whose value is dependent on the current state of the controller.
The objects in each category are listed below. In chapter Description of the object dictionary, the corresponding category for each object is also specified.

Starting the save process
- The fieldbus function may be affected while saving.
- Saving may take a few seconds. Under no circumstances may you interrupt the voltage supply while saving. The state of the saved objects is otherwise undefined.
- Always wait until the controller has signaled that the save process has been successfully completed with the value "1" in the corresponding subindex in object 1010h.
There is a subindex in object 1010h for each category. To save all objects of this category, the value "65766173h" must be written in the subindex. 1 The controller signals the end of the save process by overwriting the value with a "1".
The following table shows which subindex of object 1010h is responsible for which category.
Subindex | Category |
---|---|
01h | All categories |
02h | Communication |
03h | Application |
04h | Customer |
05h | Drive |
06h | Tuning |
Discarding the saved data
If all objects or one category of saved objects is to be deleted, value "64616F6Ch" must be written in object 1011h. 2 The following subindices correspond to a category here:
Subindex | Category |
---|---|
01h | All categories (reset to factory settings) with the exception of category 06h (Tuning) |
02h | Communication |
03h | Application |
04h | Customer |
05h | Drive |
06h | Tuning |
The saved objects are subsequently discarded. After the data have been deleted, the controller automatically restarts.
Verifying the configuration
Object 1020h can be used to verify the configuration. It acts as a modification marker similar to common text editors: as soon as a file is modified in the editor, a marker (usually an asterisk) is added.
The entries of object 1020h can be written with a date and time and then saved together with all other savable objects with 1010h:01.
The entries of 1020h are reset to "0" as soon as a savable object (including 1010h:0x,h except for 1010h:01h and 1020h) is written.
- An external tool or master configures the controller.
- The tool or master sets the value in object 1020h.
- The tool or master activates the saving of all objects 1010h:01h = 65766173h. The date and time in object 1020h are also saved.
User memory area 2700h
Up to eight 16-bit values can be saved with object 2700h:02 to 09. This range was created especially for NanoJ programs, e.g., to save configurations.
Saving is started by writing the value "1" in object 2700h:01. Once saving has been completed, the object is set to "0".
- Saving may take a few seconds. Under no circumstances may you interrupt the voltage supply while saving. The state of the saved objects is otherwise undefined.
- Always wait until the controller has signaled that the save process has been successfully completed with the value "0" in the corresponding subindex in object 2700h:01!
