ACSetup programme
Positioning module IMD20, IMD40
CAN settings
With the Connection / CAN Settings command, you open a dialogue box with which you can set the
CAN node number, the baud rate, the Can connection and the DII functions library for the CAN
connection to the drive module. Furthermore, the current status of the CAN driver is indicated here. It
has to be taken into account that the Dll functions library
CanApi.Dll
and the communications
programme
CanKernel.Exe
as well as the monitoring programme
CanWatch.Exe
must be in the
same directory.
If the CAN driver has already been launched from a different application, the ACSetup programme
can normally no longer use the Can bus in order to communicate with the IMD20 / IMD40 module.
Only the serial interface is concerned. If you nevertheless want to use ACSetup with the CAN bus,
you have to activate the “Declaration mode”. In this case, you can observe the different parameters
via the “Settings\Object Directory” menu. The writing of the parameters, however, is not possible. The
use of the ACSetup programme in the “Step-by-step commissioning” mode or in the “Random order”
mode frequently generates error messages during the active declaration mode, which you can,
however, just ignore. The reason for the generation of error messages are the unsuccessful attempts
of ACSetup to overwrite different parameters for the purposes of the first initialisation. You should
also take into account that the CAN driver has to be activated, before the declaration mode can be
used.
The currently set node address and the status of the CAN driver are also indicated in the status bar.
