iPOS360x VX-CAN/CAT Technical Reference
It is recommended to use separate setup files on each drive with individual Axis IDs, to quickly determine the identity
and location of each drive in the network.
3.9
Operation Mode and Axis ID Selection for CAN drives
The iPOS360x VX-CAN drives have 3 dedicated pins which choose the CAN operation mode and hardware Axis ID
value.
These settings are done by setting different voltage levels on the inputs AxisID 0 (pin B6), AxisID 1(pin B7) and AxisID
2 (pin B8). Each input can be set to one of the following 7 levels:
Level
Connection needed
L0
Connect input directly to ground (for example pin B5)
L1
Connect input through a 4.7K
Ω
resistor to ground
L2
Connected input through a 22K
Ω
resistor to ground
L3
Nothing connected – leave input open
L4
Connect input through a 22K
Ω
resistor to +5Vdc (for
example pin B11)
L5
Connect input through a 4.7Kohm resistor to +5Vdc
L6
Connect input directly to +5V
The operation mode selection is done via AxisID 2:
•
CANopen mode, if the input levels are: L0, L1 or L2
•
TMLCAN mode, if the input levels are L3, L4, L5, L6

CANopen
shows how to set all possible values for axis ID in this mode of
operation.
Remarks:
1. AxisID is computed with formula: 49 x (AxisID2 - 3) + 7 x A AxisID0, where each AxisID can have
one of the integer values: 0 to 6 (0 for L0, 1 for L1, 2 for L2, etc.)
2.
If the resulting AxisID value is 0, the axis ID will be set to 255
