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
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.
