Communications settings
FAULHABER drives are delivered as standard with a pre-set node number 1 and with auto-
matic Baud rate detection (AutoBaud) set.
5.1
Setting via the CAN network
For setting via the CAN network the FAULHABER Motion Manager or other configuration
tool which supports the LSS protocol (Layer Setting Service and Protocol) to CiA 305 is
required.
There are two ways of setting the communication parameters:
An individual drive is connected at the CAN interface of the configuration tool:
The “LSS Switch Mode Global” without further data allows the drive to be switched to
configuration mode, in order to set the node number and Baud rate.
The drive to be configured is connected via the CAN interface within a network to the
configuration tool:
The “LSS Switch Mode Selective” allows the desired drive to be addressed by inputting
the LSS address (Vendor ID, Product code, Revision number, Serial number) and
switched to configuration mode, in order to set the node number and Baud rate.
FAULHABER drives of the range MC V3.0 require the following input:
Vendor ID: 327
Product code: 48
Revision number: 1.0
Serial number: See the product sticker
As well as the setting of the node number and Baud rate, the LSS protocol also supports the
reading of the LSS addresses of units that are connected and the reading of the node ID set-
ting.
The identifier 0x7E5 is used (by the master) and 0x7E4 (by the slave) for LSS communication.
After configuration, the Motion Controller saves the set parameters in the EEPROM. They
remain available after switching off and on again.
For a detailed description of the LSS protocol please refer to the document CiA 305.
5.1.1
Setting the node number
Node numbers 1 to 127 can be set.
The node ID 255 (0xFF) marks the node as not configured. After it is switched on, the
node is in the LSS-Init status, until a valid node number is assigned. After a valid node
number has been assigned to the node, the NMT initialisation continues.
In network mode the network transmission rate in use should be set as the fixed rate.
The FAULHABER Motion Manager must be installed on a PC with a supported CAN
interface.
