The entries in the Online menu are used to find and connect to
a Anybus Communicator CAN module and to administer the
module:
• Select Connection
• Connect/Disconnect
• Upload Configuration
• Download Configuration
• Set Module Password
Connect the Communicator that is to be configured to your PC using the included USB cord. Apply
power to the module.
Select Connection
To be able to access the module, start by choos-
ing ‘Select Connection’.
.
Continue by pressing ‘Configure’ to open the
ACM USB Connection window. The dropdown
menu in this window shows available Anybus
Communicator CAN modules. There is also the
option to select ‘first available device’ to down-
load a configuration to.
When selecting a connection, the PC running
the ACM, will lock to that specific Communica-
tor, identified by its serial number. If the config-
uration is to be downloaded to another module,
using the same PC, the process of selecting connection will have to be repeated for that specific module.
It is recommended to select a specific Communicator for the connection, as this will diminish the risk
of downloading the wrong configuration.
Connect/Disconnect
The Communicator is connected/disconnected using this entry in the menu.
Download and Upload Configuration
Selecting “Download Configuration” downloads the configuration to the Communicator. Any configu-
ration previously present in the ACM will be overwritten.
