Hello, This may be a dumb question but here is my situation, I have two PLCs that is connected in the same CANbus and I want to use the CANOpen protocol. I just want to know if I need an EDS file for the other PLC or is it only required if I use a bus coupler which is IL CAN BK-TC-PAC (2718701) ? Thanks
Also, how do I set a node id to the PLC?

Hello, I am using two AXC F 2152 (2404267) and two AXL F IF CAN 1H (2702668). Also, I am using CANbus_10 library. I really am beginner here and I am not sure if I am asking the right questions but this is regarding CANOpen protocol, I would like to know how am I going to set a node id to the PLC so that I can have my COB-ID. Do I need to use a software to configure these kind of things? Thanks
Hi izenreal, thanks for the details. I’ve spoke with our specialists and the AXL F IF CAN 1H with the used library is extremly flexible, but there is defenetly experience needed. This goes far bejond the possibilities of this forum and I strongly suggest to go in the direct contact with your local Phoenix Contact technical support. If you need a contact please let me know (fwalde@phoenixcontact.com). BR, Frank
