Change in Motor Config in Mapp Motion

[bhaglanid (Dev Bhaglani)]

Hey!

I am working on mapp motion for my application, I want to change the gear ratio and gain setting and direction of motor from HMI.

In ACP10 I was using function block mpAxisBasicConfig, but How can I perform the similar activity through Mapp-Motion. It would be great to have answers.
Thank you

Hi Dev,

The ACP10 function block MpAxisBasicConfig has been replaced by two function blocks in mapp Motion - MC_BR_ProcessConfig and MC_BR_ProcessParam. Both edit the motion configuration, but the difference is where they edit it.

• MC_BR_ProcessParam edits the configuration on the drive, and so the changes take immediate effect, but are reverted after a restart
• MC_BR_ProcessConfig edits the configuration stored on the PLC, so changes persist after a restart, but a restart is also needed after the change in order for it to take effect

For more information, take a look at this Community post.

Thank you, sir. It was very much helpful.

The MpAxisBasicConfig is available again in mapp Motion in the last released version 5.27.

What’s the difference between using MpAxisBasicConfig (in mapp Motion 5.27) compared to using MC_BR_ProcessConfig and MC_BR_ProcessParam?
Any pros and cons?

With MpAxisBasicConfig you will need one function block call to read or write all relevant Axis data.

With ProcessConfig and ProcessParam you will need multiple function block calls to realize the same.

The Drive configuration and Axis Configuration are combined in the MpAxisBasicConfigType.

The mcAXIS_BASIC_CFG_WRITE causes multiple ProcessParam calls, which can be observed in the DriveLog in mappCockpit:
