Step 2:
Use the “ID” rotary switch and “Baud” rotary switch to set the baud rate of CAN-8423.
The node ID is useless when the value exceeds the 7F (127 for decimal format) because of
the CANopen spec definition. The relationship between the rotary switch value and practical
baud rate is displayed in the following table. Here, use ID 123 and baud rate 1000Kbps for the
demo. Therefore, set the “ID” rotary switch to “7B” (7B=7*16+B=112+11=123) and “Baud”
rotary switch to 7.
Rotary Switch Value Baud rate (K BPS)
0 10
1 20
2 50
3 125
4 250
5 500
6 800
7 1000
Step 3:
Execute the CAN_SL.exe file, and the figure will be displayed. Select a PC COM port
to connect the CAN-8423. Here, use PC COM 2 for this demo. Therefore, users need to click
the “PC COM Port” list box, set it to COM2, and click button “Connect” to connect the
CAN-8423. Afterwards, the utility tool will get the information stored in the CAN-8423.
Step 4:
Users can move the mouse pointer to the slot of CAN-8423 shown in the “CAN Slave
Device Situation” to get the module information of this slot module.
