Element Meaning
Timing Mode
Cycle time of the Slaves. Only for selected Slaves a cycle time
differently to the Master can be configured (e.g. BL210).
Expert settings Activate expert settings for additional configuration.
Availability
CAN Slave devices can be configured so that they do not al-
ways have to be physically present in order to be able to per-
form tests. The following selection options are available for that:
● Mandatory: The availability of the device is mandatory.
● Optional: In this setting, the operation with and without ex-
isting slave devices possible, while the device is actually
controlled if it is present.
Simulation mode
● Simulated (slave not plugged in): The interfaces to slave
devices are controlled in the simulation.
● Simulated (slave plugged in): In this case, the slave 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.
Node address
Selecting a unique node address of the pre-defined node area.
It serves to ensure, that the configured device is the same as
the physical device.
NMT mode
Control of the status transmission via system or application.
Via activating system, the parts NMT and Heartbeat appear.
Enable LSS Expert settings for configuration of the node-ID via LSS.
Enable LMT Expert settings for configuration of the node-ID via LMT.
Configure Endpoints and PDOs
The part "Configure Endpoints and PDOs" is only visible, if the CAN slave
has in-/outputs.
By pressing Configure Endpoints the following configuration dialog opens,
which consists of the tabs "Input" and "Output".
