Kickdrive Zero also offers a robust SDO Object Editor and a DS402 servo drive configuration tool.
The Object
Editor allows importing XDD and XDC files, the standard file formats for
CANopen device description and configuration. The most relevant configuration
objects, which are typically only a small fraction of the whole object
dictionary, can be grouped together in a separate Node Configuration panel.
Configuration presets are created and stored as Kickdrive project files, which
can be freely distributed along with Kickdrive Zero.
A wide
range of CAN hardware interfaces is supported, including fullmo USB2drive, IXXAT
USB-to-CAN and VSCOM USB-CAN, as well as CAN/USB products by Lawicel, Peak,
Kvaser, Movimento, MHS and Zanthic.
Kickdrive
Zero is licensed as Freeware, allowing free of charge use for both commercial and
non-commercial applications.
For more
complex applications, an advanced software edition is available: fullmo
Kickdrive. It offers a greater set of features and much increased flexibility, while
remaining accessible and simple to work with. fullmo Kickdrive is a dedicated
rapid prototyping tool that allows combining smartphone-like user interfaces with
servo drive configuration and control tasks. Applications include automated testing
systems, one-click service tools for field service, and standalone multi-axis
servo drive control.
