15.4 Configuration of CAN devices
In principle, CAN devices can be configured as "CAN Master" or "CAN
Slave". Several CAN Slave devices can be connected to a CAN Master (e.g.
the control functions as master and can be connected with slaves).
15.4.1 Configuring CAN bus
Tab "Basic Configuration"
Via double-clicking a CAN bus the configuration window opens, which is de-
vided into several parts. The part "General" is structured as follows:
Fig.15-36: Part "General"
Element Meaning
Timing Mode
● Cycle Time: Insert a cycle time in μs. The value must be a
multiple of the masters cycle time.
● Task: Selection of a configured Task
● Reduction: Regarding to the cycle time of the master,
those of the configuring device will be slowed by the se-
lected factor.
Simulation mode
● Not simulated: Device is connected and controlled.
● Simulated: In this case, the device is not controlled even
though it is present. This allows to still perform tests with a
complete structure without the risk to control the connected
devices.
Baudrate Baudrate in kBaud for data transmission on the bus.
Information
Minimum cycle time of the CAN bus is 4000 μs. (e.g. EtherCAT cycle time:
1000 μs, 4 times reduced CAN bus cycle time: 4000 μs).
The part "Info" shows information about the manufacturer and the device.
