11. Anybus Configuration Manager Tools
The Anybus Configuration Manager (ACM) gives access to different tools for monitoring and control-
ling the module and the CAN subnetwork:
• Monitor/Modify
• CAN Line Listener
• Diagnostics/Status
• Address Overview
11.1 Monitor/Modify
Selecting this option in the Tools menu opens this window, where the data areas of the transactions can
be monitored. If the configuration downloaded to the Communicator is the same as is open in the ACM,
it is possible to monitor and modify the transactions. Pressing the green button on the left starts the
monitoring/modifying:
If Modify is enabled, it is possible to change the data values during runtime in Produce transactions and
in the Query part of Query/Response transactions, i.e. only the out area of the Communicator can be
modified. This will inhibit any data from the industrial network (CANopen), but input data from the
CAN network will still be updated.
Note
: Addresses in the general area range can not be modified. If a transaction only have addresses in
the general area, the Modify check box will be disabled.
