NVMem (PRG)
Description
This program reads and writes OD parameters and user values from/to non-volatile memory and application variables.
All parameters and user values are read once from NV-memory during initialization.

Following tables define the NV-memory layout used by the library. Parameter area sizes can be adjusted with library parameters.
If total area size is less than actual NVRAM size, then the NVRAM area after library areas is left unused.
Application can use the unused area with NVRAMCOPY (FB) (EXT).
Library includes optional OD parameter backup area.
Application can take OD backup in use with library parameter G_PARAM_BACKUP_IN_USE which is used by code template.
Following areas are used if OD parameter backup is not in use:
|
|
G_PARAM_AREA_MAX_SIZE + 2x G_USER_VALUE_AREA_MAX_SIZE shall not exceed control unit’s actual NVRAM size reported by firmware. Init error is given if required size is too large.

DM2 log is read/write from/to non-volatile memory if valid DM2 parameters given in NVMem.Init method.
The following tables define the NV-memory layout used by the library. Parameter area sizes can be adjusted from MultiTool Creator.
If the total area size is less than the actual NVRAM size, then the NVRAM area after library areas is left unused.
Application can use the unused area with NVRAMCOPY (FB) (EXT).
Library includes optional OD parameter backup area.
The following areas are used if OD parameter backup is not in use:

Limitations
|
|
This program is automatically added to code template when using MultiTool Creator.
|
|
|
Error during nv-memory read will set init to ready but it will activate init error and disable parameter writing during normal operation.
|
|
|
Safety parameters can be saved only once and then reboot is required.
When safety parameter authentication status is TRUE, then OD parameter image is disabled after parameter save is executed.
|
|
|
All memory areas use Parameter Handler library for handling the images between RAM and NVRAM. Parameter handler also checks the image integrity.
|
|
|
User values data is reset to application default values if both NVRAM memory areas become corrupted.
Default values are also used when NVRAM is empty (new unit).
|
Init (METHOD) SseriesHardware version 1.1.3.0 and olderInit (METHOD) SseriesHardware version 1.1.3.0 and older
Init method is used to
initialize the necessary parameters for program.
OD parameter area and user value area
in RAM are given to PRG as initialization parameters.
If an area is not given, the corresponding
functionality is disabled. This is not considered as an error.
User value area and struct sizes are
checked that max size is not exceeded.
This
method sets the parameters to PRG for operation.
Init method is not considered ready
until OD parameter and user values are read from non-volatile memory.
Error during nv-memory read will set
init to ready but it will activate init error and disable parameter
writing during normal operation.
