Configuring CAN IDs

Getting Started

1. Launch the Tool:

   • Run Vertos Config.exe

2. Main Interface:

   • The tool's interface has fields for entering the host IP, port, operation selection, and CAN ID (if applicable).

Steps to Use

1. Configure Host and Port

   • Connection: Connect to the roboRIO via USB.

   • Host/IP Address: Enter the IP address of the roboRIO (Default: 172.22.11.2 for USB).

   • Port: Enter the port number (Default: 58005).

2. Select Operation Use the dropdown menu to choose an operation:

   • Set ID: Assigns a CAN ID to all connected devices without IDs. CAN IDs must be between 1 and 31. (Setting IDs by serial number is not supported.)

Example Use Cases

Set a CAN ID:

1. Configure the host as 172.22.11.2 and port as 58005.

2. Use Show Devices to list connected encoders and verify they are detected.

3. Perform a Factory Reset ALL to reset all encoders.

4. Disconnect the CAN bus from all encoders except the one you wish to configure.

5. Select Set ID from the dropdown.

6. Enter the desired CAN ID (e.g., 5, 20, or 31) and click Send.

7. Reconnect the next encoder and repeat the process to assign a unique ID.
