Automatic Baud Rate Detection Sequence, p. Setting of Bus Timing Register HMS Industrial Networks recommends using the predefined standard baud rates. If user defined baud rates are used, make sure that the entered values are valid. If the baud rate is set with the bit timing register BTR0 and BTR1 of the controller, baud rates that are not defined by CiA can be used.

Configuration 15 (28) Frame Format Parameter Description Standard (11 bit identifier) FrameFormat = std FrameFormat = ext Extended (29 bit identifier) Mapping Table Parameter Description Mapping tables of [CAN1GatewayTable] resp. UseGatewayTable = yes [CAN2GatewayTable] are used. Mapping tables are not used, all messages are transmitted UseGatewayTable = no unchanged.
