CANopenIA Setup and Configuration
All new CANopenIA solutions support the "CANopen Task Setup File" as
recommended by the
Embedded Networking Society. Setups and configurations can easily be
transferred from one CANopenIA system to another due to this common file format.
The setup file is generated by the
CANopen Architect,
an online tool for the setup and configuration of CANopen devices. Besides the
setup file, the tool also generates the matching CANopen EDS (Electronic Data
Sheet).

Module
 To the right is an example for a setup file generated by CANopen Architect.
The Setup File can directly be transferred via CANopen communication to any
new CANopenIA device. Standard CANopen configuration tools such as
CANopen Magic can be
used to load the setup file into the CANopenIA device.
The file is loaded into a CANopenIA device by writing it to the Object
Dictionary entry [1F50h,2].
On CANopenIA devices this Object Dictionary entry is reserved for reading or
writing the setup file.
