4. Getting Start
Before following the steps below, users need to prepare some hardware,
an I-8123W, a CANopen slave device and a WinPAC or ViewPAC series MCU.
Step 1: Set the SW1 of the I-8123W to the proper position. Generally, the both
ends of CAN bus (line topology) need 2 terminator resistances. Each of
them is 120Ω.
Step 2: Put the I-8123W in slot 0 of WinPAC series MCU and connect the CAN
port of the I-8123W with the CAN port of a CANopen slave device as
following figure. Then power on these hardware.
Step 3: Download the I8120.dll and I8123W.dll into the same folder of the
WinPAC. Then select a demo execute file and download it into the
same folder. Take a note that if you select a C#.net demo or a
VB.net demo, the I8123W_Net.dll also needs to be downloaded
into the same folder. (About how to download file to WinPAC, please
refer to the WinPAC user manual) The paths for these files are as
follows:

Step 4: Take an example, download the SDO_Read demo and relative files
into the folder of the WinPAC.

Step 5: Run the demo on the WinPAC. The following dialog is popped up.
Step 6: Assume the I-8123W is plugged in slot 0 of the WinPAC, and the baud
of the CANopen network is 1000 kbps, set the "Slot No." and "Baud
Rate" as following figure. Then click "Initial Master" to initialize the
I-8123W.

Step 7: Assume there is a CANopen slave with node ID 1 on the CANopen
network. Select the "Node ID" 1 and click "Add Node" to add this
CANopen slave into the I-8123W node list.
Step 8: After adding the node successfully, you can enter the index and
sub-index of the CANopen object in the slave object dictionary, and
click "Read SDO" button to read the SDO data from the CANopen
slave. The response data will be shown on the list.

Step 9: You can follow the step 4 to download the SDO Write demo for other
tests. According to the step 5 ~ step 7, select the "Node ID" 1 and click
"Add Node" to add it into the I-8123W.
Step 10: After adding node successfully, you can enter the index and sub-index
of the object in the slave object dictionary. Then set the data length
and the data that want to be written in this object. Click "Send SDO"
button to write the SDO data to the CANopen slave. If false, the
response of the abort message will be shown on the list.

5. For Updating Firmware
Sometimes the user needs to update the I-8123W firmware to newer
version. I8120W_Utility is a utility tool and is useful for this purpose. It can be
found in product CD or on website.
CDpath:CAN/SlotModule/I_8120W/Tools/WinCE5
FTPpath:ftp://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/fieldbus_cd/can/slotmodule/i_8120w/tools/wince5
The following steps show how to update I-8123W firmware with the
I8120W_Utility.
Step1: Use ftp or USB disk to copy the newer firmware to the WinPAC.
Step2: Run the I8120W_Utility.exe. Assume the I-8123W is plugged in slot 0 of
the WinPAC, set the slot No. to slot 0. Then, click the button “Update
Firmware”.
Step3: The pop-up dialog shows the information of current firmware. Click the
button “Update”. Afterwards, select the newer file from the browser. The
update procedure will run automatically. For more information, please
refer to the users’ manual of the I-8123W.
