cation channels which are not visible to the unit itself. These changes may result in
unexpected system behavior.
• Set the parameters for the unit so that any changes to the system behavior do not
pose a risk to yourself or others.

How do I address a
CAN1 communica-
tion?
Overview Basic address for CAN1 communication
The basic address is the address for the first axis module in an axis system. The
addresses for the additional axis modules are assigned in ascending order based on the
basic address.
Overview
The figure shows the MOVIAXIS® supply module [1] with the address switches S3 [2]
and S4 [3] for setting the basic address. Basic address "1" is set (default setting).

2. Set the "tens" digit of the basic address at the S4 address switch.
Result: The address for the first axis module – the basic address – is set. In the
example, the address "73" is set.
NOTE
The addresses for the other axis modules are automatically set once the 24 V voltage
supply is started. If you change the basic address during operation, the change will
only be effective after the 24 V voltage supply has been restarted.

5 Basics of Operation – First Steps

5.1 How is the user interface structured?
5.1.1 Structure of the framework
Overview
The MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio user interface comprises a central framework and the
individual tools. These are started as separate applications from the framework, or they
are integrated into the framework as plug-ins.
The following figure shows the different areas within the framework:

How is the user interface structured?

Areas and their function

The following table describes the areas within the framework and their function:
Area Description Function
[1] Menu bar The main menu and toolbar contain all the important commands for
navigating the framework.
[2] Toolbar
[3] Area for project views Information about the units in a project. The information is visualized
using the following types of project views (34):
• Network View
• Project planning view
[4] Area for plug-ins The tools are displayed in the form of plug-ins in this area.
The plug-ins are displayed either using tabs or as a separate window.
The view depends on the tool you choose.
In the example, the "Parameter tree" (68) tool has been selected for a
MOVIDRIVE® unit.
[5] Unit status area You can display the status information for units that you can access
online in the status bar. You can also hide the unit status area.
[6] Status bar You can view the current communication mode of the MOVITOOLS
MotionStudio in the status bar. This is where progress information is
displayed during a unit scan.

5.1.2 Project views and node types

Overview Types of project views
MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio displays information on the units in project views.
The following table explains the two types of project views:
Project view Function
Project planning view • Displays all configured units in a freely definable logical hierarchy.
• In this view, you can visualize the way the units fit together within a
machine or a system component, for example.
Network view • Displays all units with a communication link.
• This view visualizes the topology of a network and its units.
A project contains exactly one project planning view at all times. There can also be one
or several network views.

5.2.2 Step 1: Creating a project and network

Adding exceptions to the firewall for software components (options)
STOP
Before starting MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio, you must add exceptions to your firewall
for software components (p. 16) that you have installed.
• In your firewall, enter all the executable programs that belong to the software
components you have installed.
• Check your firewall settings. It is possible that the firewall would prevent the execu-
tion of a program in the background. In other words, the user would not receive a
message.
Creating a project and network
The "Welcome…" window launches when you start MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio, and
prompts you to create a project.
1. Make sure that "New project" is selected and confirm.
Result: The "New project" window opens.
2. Enter a name and save directory for the new project. Confirm.
Result: The "New network" window opens.
3. Enter a name for the new network. Confirm.
Result: The main screen opens and the "Configure communication plugs" window
appears
