5  Commissioning with CANopen 
When commissioning a system for the first time via CANopen, it is important for the 
master that it knows the default values of the Node ID (in this case: 3) and the 
baud rate (in this case: 10kbit/s) of a new node. This then allows the master to 
configure it corresponding to the specified requirements. Further, there must be an 
EDS file, to provide information about its default, highest and lowest values as well 
as its data type via existing CANopen objects. Practical examples for 
commissioning a system for the first time are provided in the Chapters: 
"Commissioning in the velocity mode" and "Commissioning in the profile torque 
mode". 
5.1  Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) 
The information required for the existing object of a node are saved in the EDS file. 
This EDS file is provided on the CD that is included in the scope of supply of the 
CANopen module.
