The CANopen Node module offers a basic configuration screen for any type of CANopen node, e.g. a third-party servo drive, I/O module or sensor device.
The Parameter Editor table contains a list of CANopen objects and their values, similar to the Object Editor.
For the selected object, additional display and editing controls are shown below the table. These elements are configurable by changing the UI Format column in Design Mode.
|
Notice The appearance and behavior of the Parameter Editor depends on the Edit Mode setting. Some of the functionality described below is only relevant to specific Edit Mode settings. |

Reset all device parameters to the factory settings.
