Tab: CANbus – NetX Configuration

As an alternative to the general CAN bus node, the CAN bus node (NetX) can be added to the device tree in the case of a NetX fieldbus. The NetX configuration dialog is provided for this node for selecting the NetX chip (adapter slot) and the communication channel on this chip. The name of the setting in the dialog and any possible settings that already exist in the list box are defined by the device description.

Table 2. NetX Settings

Slot	Used slot. In the case of PCI adapters with a NetX chip, the slot numbers usually correspond to the adapter numbers.
NetX Com Channel	Used communication channel on the selected adapter. A NetX adapter can have up to four communication channels to different fieldbuses.

Automatic bus initialization

standard icon : This option is enabled by default. When it is deactivated, the user is prompted whether the bus should be reinitialized on download or reset.

Caution: A reinitialization interrupts the bus and could lead to unexpected behavior of the machinery.

The option is deactivated for NetX CAN.
