Assigning the Max. Node ID (CANopen Devices)
In the Options page, you can set the maximum node ID of the last module on the
island bus. The last module may be an enhanced CANopen device. Enhanced
CANopen devices follow the last segment of STB I/O modules. CANopen modules
are addressed by counting backwards from the value that you specify here. The
ideal node ID sequence is sequential.
For example, if you have an island with five STB I/O modules and three CANopen
devices, a maximum node ID of at least 8 (5 + 3) is required. This results in node IDs
of 1 through 5 for STB I/O modules and 6 through 8 for enhanced CANopen
devices. The default ID of 32 (the maximum number of modules the island can
support) results in node IDs of 1 through 5 for STB I/O modules and 30 through 32
for enhanced CANopen devices. Unless required, high addresses are not desirable
if one (or more) of your enhanced CANopen devices has a limited address range.
Assign the highest node ID used by a CANopen device on the island bus:
Step Action
1 In the module editor, select the Options tab.
2 Set a value in the Max. node ID on the CANopen extension field using the spin
control.
