3. Click Download. The motor will begin moving in PVT or PT motion mode according
to the parameters in the downloaded table.
To download a table for other drives (connected to other nodes), open an instance of the
Table Editor and table for each drive, selecting the drive node ID from the Active
Communication drop-down list in the toolbar.

To download an open table to all nodes simultaneously, click the

Editor window was opened.
3.8 The Sync Manager
The Sync Management function operates within the Composer to synchronize the
internal clock of all drives connected through the CANopen network. Only drives
connected via CANopen can therefore be synchronized.
The Sync Manager operates as follows:
1. You select one of the CANopen nodes to be “Sync Master.”
2. This node is used to transmit a synchronization message indicating the sync master’s
own internal 32-bit absolute time.
3. The Composer transmits this time stamp message to all nodes connected to the
CANopen network, synchronizing the internal clock of all connected drives.
To perform synchronization:
1. Activate the CANopen communication network by clicking the button in the
toolbar or selecting Communication – Open Communication ( section 2.12.2 ).
2. Click or select Tools – Sync Management. The Sync Management dialog box
will be displayed as follows:
3. From the Main Node drop-down list, select the node that is to serve as the Sync
Master. This time stamp will be used to synchronize all other connected nodes.
4. From the Delay drop-down list, select the time interval after which each sync
message should be sent.
5. Click Apply. The system will begin to send sync and time stamp messages.
6. To stop the message transfer, select (None) from the Main Node list and click Apply.
