1

Designation of the physical interface.
Name and type of the CANopen device.

2

Name of the CANopen master. Range between 1 and 127. Determines the identifier of the master heartbeat telegram and must not match a slave node address.

3

The baud rate is set here. Automatically tests whether the connected slave supports this baud rate.

4

Displays the cycle time of the corresponding highest priority task.

5

With CANopen it is often the case that event-driven communication is combined with cyclic synchronous communication. In order to be able to respond to events quickly, the task cycle time must be less than the cycle time of the sync telegram.

If the Sync-Cycle Multiplier is set to values > 1, the TwinCAT task is called repeatedly before the sync telegram is sent again.

6

The cycle time of the sync telegram is displayed here. It results from the cycle time of the highest priority task, its process data and from the Sync-Cycle Multiplier.
Cync-Cycle-Time= Cycle Timex Sync-Cycle Multiplier

7

The current firmware version is displayed here.
