Software Configuration with the GSDML Composer
5.1.4.2.1 Configuration/Test of the CAN Interface under Windows
First connect the CANopen-PN with your PC via USB. Windows will detect the device and provide
a new network interface (by means of the RNDIS driver which is installed with the setup).
The CAN software uses the CAN API, which is provided in this case via a TCP/IP connection –
which first has to be configured: Therefore start “
Program/esd/EtherCAN/CAN Control
Panel
” in the
start menu
:
Figure 6:
CAN Control Panel
When the
CAN Control Panel
window is opened it does already contain the entry of the
Net
number
in the field
Virtual CAN port
. The Net number is 100 for the CANopen-PN (also
ETHopen_PN, see Figure 7).
The
IP address
is defined for the CANopen-PN by esd. In the field
TCP/IP configuration
the
following
IP address
has to be entered:
192.168.7.1
Do not change the other settings (see NTCAN API Manual Part 2 for details).
Now you can use e.g. CANreal (part of the esd CAN SDK) for testing. It can be started with the
start menu entry ”
Program/esd/CAN SDK/CANreal
“.
