Creating CX705x as slave

This section shows how to create a CX7050 as CANopen slave. In order for the CANopen slave to be recognized later by a CANopen master with all inputs and outputs, the CANopen slave must first be created in TwinCAT and configured with all associated PDOs and variables.

Requirements for this step:

Create the CANopen slave as follows:

1. In the tree view on the left, right-click on Devices.
2. In the context menu click Add New Item.

3. Select as device CANopen Slave (CCAT) and confirm the selection with OK.
Creating CX705x as slave 2:
4. Confirm the request with Yes, in order to look for boxes.
The CANopen slave has been successfully added in TwinCAT and is displayed in the tree view with the inputs and outputs.
Creating CX705x as slave 3:
In the next step you can extend the process image by creating additional virtual slaves. Or you can set the address, once the slave configuration is complete.
