 Overview

1. Overview
Customers that does not work with the Siemens SIMATIC manager as described in the software manual
have to send the configuration parameters as hexadecimal values in a so called ‘parameter telegram’ to
the CAN-CBM-DP module

This manual appendix describes the meaning of the parameter telegrams hexadecimal values. It replaces
the first part of chapter 5 ‘Configuration with the SIMATIC Manager’ of the CAN-CBM-DP software
manual.

CAN-CBM-DP Software Manual Appendix Rev. 1.0 3

Configuration Sequence

2. Configuration Sequence
The following steps has to be executed to configure the CAN-CBM-DP module:

2.1 Load GSD-File

To apply the CAN-CBM-DP module to the PLC, the GSD-file that comes with the CAN-CBM-DP
modules has to be loaded. The actual GSD-file can also be loaded from our homepage:

http://www.esd-electronics.com

2.2 Insert the CAN-CBM-DP as a PROFIBUS-DP Slave Module

The way to insert a PROFIBUS-DP slave module depends on the used software tool for the
PROFIBUS-DP configuration.

2.3 Set PROFIBUS-DP Slave Address

The way to set the address of a PROFIBUS-DP slave module depends on the used software tool for the
PROFIBUS-DP configuration. Normally the setting has to be done while the slave is inserted.

Attention!!
Here the hexadecimal address value that has been set at the coding switches has to be entered.
Before the value is entered, it may be necessary to convert the hexadecimal value into a
decimal value!

 Configuration Sequence

2.4 Parameter Telegram

After inserting the CAN-CBM-DP module, several configuration parameter can be set by the parameter
telegram.

2.4.1 Structure

Byte -> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Content always Wakeup Sync Sync

Bitrate General Module-ID reserved reserved
-> ‘00’ Time Time_L Time_H

The first byte of the setting data has always to be set to ‘00’. In the second byte Bitrate is set. In the
third byte various configuration bits can be set. In the fourth byte the module ID of the gateway is
specified, if it is operated as CANopen slave.

Bytes 5 and 6 are reserved for future applications.

In byte 7 the Wakeup Time of the module can be changed. In bytes 8 and 9 the SYNC Time can be
changed.

2.4.2 Bitrate

The value of the bit rate is coded as follows:

Value of Byte Bitrate Bit Rate [kbit/s]

0 1000
1 666.6
2 500
3 333.3
4 250
5 166
6 125
7 100
8 66.6
9 50
A 33.3
B 20
C 12.5
D 10

 Configuration Sequence

2.4.4 Module-ID of Gateways as CANopen Slave

The Module-ID under which the gateway is addressed is set via this byte, if the gateway has been
configured as CANopen slave.

Value range: 01 ... 7F hex (1...127 decimal)

2.4.5 Parameter Data Byte 5 and 6: Reserved for Future Applications

Bytes 5 and 6 of the configuration data is without any function at the moment. It is reserved for future
applications and should always be set to ‘0’.

CAN-CBM-DP Software Manual Appendix Rev. 1.0 7

Configuration Sequence

2.4.6 Wakeup Time

Via parameter Wakeup Time a delay in seconds is specified. It determines the time a module has to wait
after a RESET or power-on, before it starts to transmit data to the CAN.

The Wakeup Time specified here, overwrites the value of Wakeup Time stored previously in the CAN-
CBM-DP gateway, if another value than ‘FF’ was specified. If ‘FF’ is specified, the value stored in the
gateway will be used.

If parameter Wakeup Time is set to ‘0’, the module does not wait, but start the transmission of data as
soon as there are available.

The Wakeup Time is specified as a hexadecimal value, here.

Value range
Parameter Explanations
[hex] in [s]
0 Wakeup-Time function off
Wakeup Time 1...FE Wakeup Time in seconds
FF Use current value from gateway (default)

Table 2.4.4: Function of parameter Wakeup Time

Attention: Wakeup Time can be set in two different ways:

1. Via byte 7 of the configuration data, as described above.
2. Via the configuration tool CICT (refer to CAN-CBM-DP software manual)

Both entries are equal. That means that the last specification is valid!

 Configuration Sequence

2.4.7 SYNC Time

The CAN-CBM-DP module can cyclically transmit the commands SYNC and START for simple
CANopen applications. The cycle for the transmission can be specified via bytes 8 and 9 or the
Communication Window. The cyclical transmissions of SYNC and START can only be activated via the
Communication Window (see CAN-CBM-DP software manual)!

The cycle is specified in bytes 8 and 9. The specified cycle is used for the SYNC command as well as
the START command. It is specified in milliseconds.

SYNC Time is specified as a hexadecimal value, here.

Value range
Parameter Explanations
[hex] in [ms]
0 No SYNC and Start transmissions possible
SYNC Time 1...FFFE SYNC Time and Start Time in milliseconds (1...65534 ms)
FFFF Use current value from gateway (default)

Table 2.4.5: Function of parameter SYNC Time

Attention: SYNC Time can be set in two different ways:

1. Via bytes 8 and 9 of the configuration data as described above.
2. Via bytes 4 and 5 of the Communication Window (refer to CAN-CBM
software manual)

Both specifications are equal. That means that the last specification is valid!
The cyclical transmission can only be activated via the Communication Window!
