5 Operation
5.1How to configure the communication settings
The Lenze DriveServer and the OPC bus server for the corresponding fieldbus are used to build up the connection with the target system.
Note!
For the configuration of the communication settings, the DriveServer must be closed.
The DriveServer is default set to the OPC bus server for the system bus (CAN).
•If you want to use a different OPC bus server for communication, use the DriveServer configurator to add this bus server to the DriveServer.
DriveServer
For the configuration of the DriveServer, the DriveServer configurator of the »L-force Loader« is used. The DriveServer configurator is activated via Options DriveServer configurator....
OTip!
For detailed information on the DriveServer, please refer to the DriveServer documentation.
OPC bus server for system bus (CAN)
For the configuration of the system bus (CAN) communication settings, the system bus configurator of the »L-force Loader« is used. The system bus configurator is activated via
Options System bus configurator....
OTip!
The diagnostics function of the system bus configurator can, for instance, be used to check that the PC system bus adapter is working properly.
For detailed information on the system bus configurator, please refer to the CAN Communication Manual and to the Online Help of the system bus configurator.
