6.4 Network Manager
Depending on the template, different modules / module names are available, i.e. the modules do not always have all the functions described
here.
Use the Network Manager to perform a baud rate and node scan for an unknown network, and build a Kickstart setup and operation
module for every supported drive node found.
Network Scan
Use the following procedure for a successful scan:
• Connect the CAN Interface to the CANopen network
• Connect the CAN Interface to your PC via USB.
• Switch on power supply for the CANopen nodes
• Make sure in the CAN Interface module, baud rate is set to either (Scan), or the actual baud rate of your network
• Choose Scan Network to find out about:
– Scanned Node IDs – all existing node IDs within this network.
– Configurable Node IDs – supported drive nodes available for setup and operation through Kickstart.
• Choose Build Project to create a Kickstart module for each of the IDs listed in the Configurable Node IDs text field.
WARNING
Never use baud rate scan or similar configuration tasks in running machinery or in a CANopen application in normal
operation. See also the additional information in the
CAN Interface module description.
