Connecting an IKD 1 on CAN Bus 1
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
We recommend to connect external expansion boards, like the Woodward IKD 1 to CAN bus 2. This CAN bus
offers preconfigured settings for operating several expansion boards including the IKD 1.
However, it is also possible to connect an IKD 1 to CAN bus 1. Proceed as follows for this.
easYgen Configuration
Refer to the easYgen-2000 Series Configuration Manual 37427 for the configuration of the unit and the parame-
ters concerned. Refer also to the easYgen-2000 Series Interface Manual 37430 for a description of the data ob-
jects.
The easYgen may either be configured directly using the display screens or using the ToolKit software. The fol-
lowing screenshots show both options.
Transmit PDO
The easYgen must be configured for sending objects with the index 8001 (external DOs 1 to 8) and 3 x 8000 on
CAN ID 181 (hex) every 20 ms on TPDO1. This is used to send messages to an external device. For this, TPDO1
must be configured as follows:
ID
