Information
This dialog is provided on a tab of the Device dialog (Device Editor) which can be
opened for the device currently selected in the devices tree via command 'Edit Object'
or by a double-click on the device entry in the Devices window.
If available for the current device, the following general information will be displayed:
Name, Vendor, Type, Version number, Order Number, Description, Image.
14.2 CANbus Configuration Editor
The 'DeviceEditorCANbus' plug-in provides dialogs for the configuration of CANopen
devices and modules according to CANopen Draft Standard 301. Special CANbus
configuration dialogs will be added to the standard Device Editor dialogs. The
appropriate device objects must be inserted in the devices tree in order to map the
respective CANbus hardware.
The CANbus devices and modules get a configuration which describes their time- and
detected error-dependant behaviour during the exchange of messages. Further on the
mapping of inputs and outputs on PDOs (Process Data Objects), serving for sending
and receiving process data, is done for the particular modules. A list of SDOs (Service
Data Objects) will then be created which transfer - request+response services - the
complete configuration data to the CANbus target system. There the communication
and process data objects are managed in the "Object Dictionary".
The CANopen modules configuration initially is determined by the device description
files of the used master and slave devices and might be modified by the user in the
configuration editor dialogs. Notice the recommendation to use the autoconfiguration
mode for standard applications and modular devices.
So in order to set up a CANbus configuration in the devices tree...
1. Install the required description files
2. If CANbus shall be used together with a SJA Chip, the »PLC Designer« configuration
file (...\GatewayPLC\»PLC Designer«SP.cfg) has to be enlarged by the following
entry:
Component.<subsequent number>=CmpSJACanDrv
3. Map the bus structure by inserting the respective modules in the devices tree
4. Set the appropriate configuration parameters in the device editor dialogs
