Step4: Click the “Connect” button. If this process is successful, the i-7540D Utility shows the i-7540D_A communication information as below.
Step5: After connecting with t he i-7540D_A, you can modify the CAN parameters and network st atus of it. The CAN parameters and network status of i-7540D_A and i-7540DB are setting as following table. i-7540D_A i-7540D_B CAN parameters Specification: 2.
4. Testing the i-7540D by using the i-7540D Utility Step1: Run the i-7540D Utility, I7540D.exe, two times. Then duplicate i-7540D windows will be displayed on the screen. One is named as Utility A and t he other is called Utility B. Step2: Click the “Connect” icon to open the connection dialog.
Step4: Check the “Use CAN Me ssage” checkbox and input the value to the “CAN Message” frame on Utility A. Click the “Send” button. Then, the Utility w ill automatically transfer these CAN messages to the ASCII command string with ASCII 0x0d, and send it out through the PC’s Ethernet Socket_A port.
Step5: In “Send command to 7540D” f rame, Users can directly type the ASCII command string, “99S”,”99C”,”99RA”, to get/set the status of the 7540D. The sample picture below is using command, “99S”, to get the module status of 7540D.
