stepIM
Exercise
The stepIMs on the Demo Kit are preset to address nodes 1 and 2.
You can establish communication faster by limiting the address range.
1. Disconnect and then reconnect the Kvaser cable from the computer.
2. Change the End Address value to 2, and press Connect.
Note how quickly the address nodes are detected.
3. You should now see that the Kvaser adapter CAN orange LED blinks,
indicating communication between the computer and the stepIMs is
established.
Exercise
Multiple stepIMs can be accessed through the same instance of ServoStudio
provided they are all on the same CANopen network. However, ServoStudio can
communicate with only one drive at a time.
1. To select a drive, use the Switch to Drive menu in the status bar at the
bottom of the screen.
2. You can also select a drive by clicking on the drive's node ID in the
Communication screen.
