QUESTION 

Is an IXXAT USB-to-CAN required to set up a CANopen Manager X-gateway?

 

ANSWER

HMS supports setting up an Anybus CANopen Manager with the Anybus Configuration Manager CANopen software.  The software requires an IXXAT CAN device with VCI driver support to communicate over the bus. HMS recommends the USB-to-CAN V2 1.01.0281.12001.  This allows you to connect the device directly to your PC for configuration.
