13 "CAN Tools" application
When connecting up the HMG 4000 to an existing external CAN bus system, the
following basic safety steps need to be taken into consideration:
The CAN bus can be connected to the HMG 4000
via the red jack "CAN" (K) only!
The HMG 4000 may only ever be connected to one CAN bus system according
to the selected mode.
This chapter is aimed at engineers, programmers, commissioning engineers
as well as service and maintenance staff with the corresponding knowledge
in automation technology, CAN bus systems in particular.
Before the HMG 4000 is set up in a running CAN bus system, corresponding
presets and parameter specifications need to be adjusted for the HMG 4000
according to the type and model of the CAN bus system and the way it is
connected.
If the HMG 4000 is connected to a running CAN bus system with incorrect
presets, this can lead to bus malfunctions, bus crashes and error functions
and as a result can also lead to damage to the machine, to the system and to
individuals.
The "
CAN tools
" application is mainly meant for the following two tasks:
Configuring and parametrising individual CAN bus participants
You can connect individual bus participants to the HMG 4000 and configure them
for bus operation.
Logging message traffic in the bus system
You can switch the HMG 4000 to a CAN bus system and log the entire message
traffic.
In the "CAN Tools" application, no measured values or similar information from
individual messages can be shown.
This is only possible in the "Measured values" application.
