Appendix A: Setting up the Demo Case

The

SimplIQ

Demo & Training Case is an ideal tool for developing dual-axis applications.

It contains two Bassoon digital servo drives, each connected to a servomotor. The
Bassoons can be programmed directly with a standard RS-232 connection. The

Maestro

can be connected via the case’s CAN port.

A.1

Setting Up the CAN nodes

For CANopen networks to function properly, every node on the network must be unique
and the network must be terminated. A simple terminator is supplied with the Demo
Case. If its not already in use, plug it into the last servo drive’s open CANOpen port.
