How to Load a Configuration using X-Way
(Original Document)
About us
General
When the CANopen bus is configured in load mode by Sycon, it is possible to download the configuration onto the TSX CPP 110 card using the X-Way driver.
This download can be performed over an Ethernet network, or simply on a Uni-Telway bus.
NOTE: MAKE SURE you always put the PLC in STOP mode during the downloading process.
NOTE: When the choice of X-Way communication driver has been validated, you must exit the Sycon software to change the driver.
Procedure
This table describes the steps to be carried out to load the configuration of a CANopen card using the X-Way communication drivers.
