Configuration 18 (30)
6.4 Bridge Configuration
In the Bridge configuration each device can be configured differently, but all devices must be
configured in one configuration file. The configuration can be set for one device and then
downloaded to the other devices (Master, Slave 1 to 3). In the Local CAN Bridge mode only one
device is connected and has to be configured.
Configuration fails, if the individual devices of a CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge are configured
from different configuration files! Observe that for the configuration of a CAN-Ethernet-
CAN Bridge each device must be configured with the same configuration file. If the
configuration is changed, the new configuration file has to be downloaded again to all
devices.
Exclusively one master device is allowed in the Bridge mode.
