CAN-8124/CAN-8224/CAN-8424 Quick Start User Guide (Version .2.0, Aug/2007) ------ 6
4. Installation & Configuration
Before users first use the CAN-8x24, the CAN Gateway Utility can help to
configure and create EDS files.
Step 1:
Please install the CAN Slave Utility. You can find the software from our web
site:
http://www.icpdas.com/download/download-list.htm
or the follow path of
“/CAN-CD/DeviceNet/Slave/CAN-8x24/Utility/
on the CD provided.
Step 2:
There are 2 modes in the CAN Slave Utility. One mode is off-line and it allows
users to create EDS files off-line for the CAN-8x24. Another mode is on-line mode.
Before using the CAN Slave utility in the On-line mode with the CAN-8424, please
make sure that you have connected the COM1 port to the CAN-8424 with the available
COM port on your PC.
Note: In the on-line mode, users can define the needed assembly instance or
default assembly instance, and set the IO connection path. But in off-line mode,
we provide the default assembly instance for the CAN-8124/CAN-8224. The IO
connection path must be set via an explicit connection.
