Configuration
This chapter describes how the Anybus-X Ethernet to J1939 Gateway is config-
ured using the Anybus-X Configuration Tool (BWConfig). Detailed descriptions
of each configurable parameter in the gateway are provided as well as how they
are set in the tool.
The next chapter walks the reader through the configuration of an example appli-
cation to illustrate how the configurable parameters are used in a real-world appli-
cation.
Anybus-X Configuration Tool (BWConfig)
The Anybus-X Configuration Tool allows you to configure the parameters associ-
ated with the Ethernet and J1939 network interfaces as well as to set up the con-
tents and layout of the I/O table.
BWConfig is a Microsoft Windows application that communicates with a Any-
bus-X over a standard RS-232 serial link using the PC serial port. BWConfig is
compatible with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP.
