Hello.

I have M050-110 and MC050-118 and I've been trying to figure out how to implement a way for field technicans to change parameters via the service tool. Maybe I'm just missing some documentation but I haven't been able to find it neither in the API nor on the online help for Plus1.

Can anyone point me to documentation or maybe share an example of how to do this?

Ie. What I'm trying to do is have certain parameters writable by the service tool, like soft ramp settings, CAN ID settings for JS1-H CAN joysticks etc.

Thanks in advance.

You need to use the Non-Volatile memory function blocks in GUIDE
"Non-Volatile Memory Dynamic" or "Non-Volatile Memory Dynamic with Default" in particular
They are found in Component > Connections > Non-Volatile Memory Dynamic

This will allow you to program values that are stored on the controller memory and can be adjusted via the service tool by a field technician.
