python EAL libray for Ctrlx Drive

[laurentiuS]

Hello guys,

i have a aplication of an 3m height elevator and i want to use a pc with Python to control the ctrlx drive. I succeded to make it work for an indra drive but for ctrlx i have some problem. Can you give me any recomandation where to start ?

hello,

Which version of EAL are you using? use the last 2.4. I have no direct experience on the usecase bu i am sure that with older versions the ctrlX drives were not working 🙂

Sure i have the last version of EAL sdk, i can read any parameter in the drive but when i want to use absoluteMove it give me an error that "Drive must initialize to run this API" and i don't know exactly what to do.

There exist a initialize method to parametrize the drive correctly, alternative use one time the dotnet example DriveTool.exe to make this initialization of the drive.

Hello, it didn't work with Initialize button, next error message appeared: the parameter is write protected. No matter the drive status was (CM, OM, PM). what do you suggest to try next? Thanks.

Which parameter are you trying to write? could you add some screenshots of your application and the error?
