Hey Todd, I meant the control panel in the KAS IDE.
My application is using a Windows C# application to drive an AKD-PDMM (AKD-M01206-M1EC), which is driving a single C044A-13-3105 DDR Motor.
In the IDE I have uploaded 6 different caming profiles, and I want to be able to switch between them from the C# app. The profiles have a virtual axis, at constant RPM, as the master axis, and the DDR as the slave.
To load a cam profile, in PLCopen, you have to:
1. Load the profile into memory as referenced by its name and get a numeric reference.
2. Then Cam-In to that numeric reference to start using the profile.
This means I have to know the names of all my caming profiles in either my C# app or hard coded in the PLCopen app, and know which numeric references apply to which after loading them.
So I want to know if I can get a list of the profile names that are uploaded to the driver? Then I can read that list from the driver into the C# app and select profiles from there. And maybe I could put that list in a drop-down menu in the control panel so I can select profiles from there.
My current work around is:
On the control panel, I can type in the name of a profile, and then it will load that profile into memory and put that profile name and the reference number in a text box on the control panel. I can then enter the number of the profile I want to apply.
In the C# app, I can http-set to write to a global variable with the profile name, then set a bool that calls the function to load that profile into memory. Then I can read the number back from another global over http-get.
Both of these workarounds require me to just know the names of the profiles uploaded. And if I change or add a profile, then I have to update my C# app.
