Kickdrive - CANopen Tools for Windows

Kickdrive Plus (formerly "fullmo Kickdrive") - Modules and Features

Drive and Node Configuration

Commission and configure field bus nodes, such as drive units or I/O controllers. Easy-setup panels for a range of fullmo and ebm-papst drives, including Firmware Update, Embedded Python Script editor, and other advanced service functions.

Object Editor with XDD and XDC support for editing parameters of any CANopen device.

Bus Monitoring

CAN BUS Monitor with Find and Filter functionality, optional logging to file (CAN trace). Saved log files can be reloaded, filtered and further analyzed.

Search-as-you-type and Auto Filtering allow you to quickly get an overview of what is going on on your CAN bus.

Scope and Data Logger

CANopen SDO and PDO recording. Live data display from one or several node parameters, from one or multiple nodes. Advanced navigation within live or logged data.

Triggers on level/slope or "data changed" events, pre- and post-trigger time definition. Visual trigger marks.

Record live data to a file, including trigger events. Reload files for later analysis.  

Customizable UI Panels

Flexible and customizable UI Panel to create display and control elements, used for specific automation applications, i.e. machine setup.

Design rich smartphone-like user interfaces with your own logo, graphics and application-specific tasks. Use predefined elements to visualize and control the CANopen object parameters of your application.

Make your own customer support tool and distribute it as a standalone portable application.

Scripting and Remote Control

It is possible to automate practically every aspect of Kickdrive functionality using the Automation module with its built-in Python script engine. Alternatively, other applications can be used to remotely control Kickdrive via a TCP socket.

Projects and Templates

Make use of templates - predefined projects tailored for specific tasks. Start off easy with simple drive configuration and testing, drill down to the full capabilities later. Mix and match modules from different projects by simply copying&pasting the required module to a second project.

Help your customers or development partners by providing them with a project file containing everything they may need for a specific testing or service task.

Generate Runtime Executables

With just a few clicks, you can convert any of your projects into a runtime executable (.exe) service tool to distribute to your clients. No installation required, as Kickdrive's core components are included.

Custom Applications and More

But wait, there's more! Kickdrive allows you to go far beyond the functionality described above. Using Qt Quick technology, you can create your very own UI and custom software tools in record time. The full-screen mode and Qt Quick Open GL rendering capabilities enable the creation of smooth and intuitive smartphone-like interfaces for your application.
