Corrected from: PLC Designer V3.12
Response of the new version:
When exporting and reimporting the startup parameters of a '9400 Highline CiA 402', all startup parameters are imported correctly and axis movements do not lead to a following error. The data type of the parameter 16#60C2.2 is SINT. When changing the parameter value in the startup parameter list, the PLC Designer only accepts values ranging from -128 to 127.
What happens?
On the 'Startup parameters' tab of the '9400 Highline CiA 402' EtherCAT slave and on the 'Service Data Object' tab of the '9400 Highline CiA 402' CAN slave, the index 16#60C2.2 contains the value -3 instead of 253. As a result, the controller does not follow the setpoint correctly and a following error occurs which is indicated in the status word.
When does the behaviour occur?
The above-described response occurs when the startup parameters are exported in the PLC Designer ('Startup parameters' tab of the 9400 HighLine>context menu Export xml list) and afterwards imported into another project (context menu Import xml list).
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer V3.0 and higher
Possible diagnostics:
In the status word 6041hex, bit8 (=following error; starting with bit0) is set.
Short-term measures/recommendations:
After importing the startup parameters, set the value in index 16#60C2.2 from -3 back to 253.
Evaluation:
Importing a startup parameter list leads to a following error in the '9400 Highline CIA 402'.
