How to download CANopen protocol firmware into ADAM-5000/CAN?
Solution:
Please link to our web page: http://www. advantech.com/ to find an item named "ADAM-5000/CAN" and get ADAM-5000/CAN utility. When you want to download the image file to change CAN protocol from DeviceNet to CANopen or from CANopen to DeviceNet. You need to make the node ID of the ADAM-5000/CAN at address 0. If you use the DNU.EXE to download firmware, you need to make sure the MACID is different with the ADAM-5000/CAN. Then you should make sure the image files are located under the same directory with the DNU.EXE. When you select "download", the download process will begin. In addition, we recommend to use the lower baudrate like 9600 bps to see whether the download work is ok or not. If the process always stop at 16%, that means the new image file will not be flashed into the ADAM-5000/CAN and please check the image file "CANROM.IMG" is under the directory or not. Please notice the DNU.EXE is only allowed to download the "CANROM.IMG" into the ADAM-5000/CAN and CANOPEN.EXE can download the 2 image files. We believe the process should be easy and only need to notice whether the files are under the right directory or not and the address of the ADAM-5000/CAN. When you want to do the download job under the CANopen utility, please DON'T use the Win95 system. During download process, this utility will not allow users to select communication speed and it will run automatically. When the screen show the message "error a" and latch, please don't think the download process has error. Please wait a moment and the utility will continue work. You also need to notice the 8 dips switch of the ADAM-5000/CAN needs to be set to OFF position.
