4.3. Changing the drive Axis ID
The axis ID of an iPOS4808 drive can be set in 3 ways:
Hardware (H/W) – according with AxisID inputs levels as described in par. 3.4.5)
Software (via Setup) – any value between 1 and 255, stored in the setup table. If the drive
is in CANopen mode, a Node ID value above 127 is automatically converted into 255 and
the drive is set with CAN communication “non-configured” mode waiting for a CANopen
master to configure it using CiA-305 protocol. A “non-configured” drive answers only to CiA-
305 commands. All other CANopen commands are ignored and transmission of all other
CANopen messages (including boot-up) is disabled. In absence of a CANopen master, you
can get out a drive from “non-configured” mode, by setting another axis ID between 1 and
127, from above dialogue using a serial link between the drive and the PC.
