Connecting to a Maestro

If a Maestro is connected to the same network as your PC, the CANopen Configurator
is able to find it. To configure devices on the CAN networks which are connected to a
specific Maestro, you must first connect to that Maestro device via the Connect tool in
the CANopen Configurator Communication menu (see Figure

9-4).

After the Connect tool is selected, the CANopen Configurator searches the LAN for
Maestros and displays the active Maestros in a window (see Figure

9-5). The IP

address of each device is listed alongside its name. Select the Maestro device you want
to connect to and click OK.

Note:

To prevent configuration conflicts, close all other Ethernet
and RS-232 connections to the Maestro device before
connecting via the CANopen Configurator.
