4.4.18 How to use CanOpenexplorer
After startup, the name and details of the HW-interface, like PCAN_USB should appear
upper left.
When you turn on a motor/CAN node after having started CanOpenexplorer, the Data
Window (large center right), there will come a message with the number 0x7xx, where
xx is the node ID - for instance, 0x704 will indicate node 4. Set the Node ID field top
center to that value (4).
Make sure the right EDS_file is loaded. The program loads a hard-coded default file - ei-
ther smc75.eds or mac00-fc.eds. It is also possible to load another EDS file by writing the
file name in the "EDS file" field top center and pressing the load button. Note that the
EDS view (large center left panel) will add the new file at the bottom but not clear the
existing file(s) loaded.
Normal operation will be to select an object in the EDS view pane, and press either R for
read or W for write. Pressing R should read the value, and that is successful if no error
pops up. pressing w for write will pop up a small window, where the present value is dis-
played in both decimal and hex. It is then possible to write a new value either in decimal
or in hex using a 0x prefix, like 0x185 to enable the first TPDO on node 5 (by clearing
the high bit). If the Add to list checkbox is checked, the object will be added to the user
SDO list as a write SDO. Pressing A performs a read and Adds it to the user SDO list
pane (lower right) as a read SDO.
The SDOs in the user SDO pane can be rearranged by dragging them with the mouse.
Double click on a user SDO list, will execute the operation, either reading or writing.
The bus state can be changed using the NMT buttons lower left, like Operational to en-
able PDOs.
The button read user SDOs will read all of the "R" type object in the user SDO list. This
is useful for updating a larger number of values in the EDS view.
The button read user SDOs will write all of the "W" type object in the user SDO list. This
is useful for automated testing.
Entries can be deleted from the user SDO list by selecting them with the mouse and
pressing the delete key.
The sync Time field top right sets the time in milli-seconds for the SYNC messages to be
sent out. SYNCs can be started and stopped using the buttons Enable Sync and the Stop
button to the right of it.
The Guard Time field below the Sync Time field works like SYNC-just for the Guarding
message.
The close button exits the program after saving the list of user SDOs, which will be au-
tomatically reloaded on the next program start.
