Two LEDs are found in the same area:
  • a green LED indicating that the device is operational (ON/OFF),
  • a red LED indicating an emergency (ON/OFF).
3
Channel area
This area allows you to select the communication channel to be debugged.
By clicking on the device, you display the tabs:
  • Description: gives the characteristics of the built-in CANopen port.
  • Inputs/outputs objects: allows pre-symbolizing of the input/output objects.
  • CANopen: allows read/write of SDO.
  • Defaults: accessible in online mode only.
By clicking on the channel, you display the tabs:
  • PDO: enables you to configure the PDOs.
  • Configuration: enables you to declare and configure the CANopen master.

Parameters in progress area
This area displays the information of an inputs/outputs datum for all the channels. It is divided into 3 columns:
  • the Parameter column displays the inputs/outputs objects and the unmarked objects on which the inputs/outputs datum is mapped,
  • the Label column shows the name of the inputs/outputs datum,
  • the Value column shows the value of the inputs/outputs datum.
NOTE: For standard devices, the values are displayed in the following formats:
  • decimal (default),
  • hexadecimal,
  • binary.
To select the format, right-click on a value in the debug screen, then choose the display mode.
For devices with boolean vision (FTB) the value can be forced.
NOTE: In the Value column, when a variable appears in red, it shows that it’s out of range. The range of the variable can be seen by clicking on it. The range is displayed in the status bar.
