Integrators commissioning a CANopen LSS node ID joystick use CiA 305 Layer Setting Services — not random DIP guesses — to select a device by its 1018h identity and write a valid node-ID (and optionally bit rate) over reserved CAN IDs 7E5h/7E4h [Source: CiA 305 LSS knowledge base; CiA CNLM node-ID assignment using LSS (Pfeiffer); MicroControl AN1204 LSS application note]. Trunsin ZS40 supports CANopen RFQs once EDS, PDO, and node-ID policy are documented.

CANopen LSS node ID joystick — selective vs Fastscan
| Method | When to use | Risk if skipped |
|---|---|---|
| Switch selective (1018h known) | Vendor/product/rev/serial known | Wrong node selected |
| LSS Fastscan | Unconfigured node-ID | Endless bus guessing |
| Store + NMT reset | After set node-ID | ID not applied |
| Bit-rate switch | Whole network change | Partial baud mismatch |
Writing a CANopen LSS node ID joystick address while another node still owns that ID causes silent SDO failures that look like “bad EDS” [Source: CiA 305 LSS manager/server rules].
Commission checklist
- Read 1018h identity — Vendor ID + product + revision + serial.
- Enter LSS configuration state — Selective switch for one server.
- Set node-ID and store — Then reset communication / power cycle.
- Import EDS and map PDOs — See EDS and PDO posts before Operational.
Termination still matters — CANbus wiring termination before blaming LSS tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is LSS the same as SDO?
No — LSS configures node-ID/bit rate at a lower layer than normal OD access.
What if node-ID is already 0xFF?
Unconfigured — use Fastscan or selective if identity known.
Does ZS40 require LSS?
Some builds ship fixed IDs; RFQ documents the policy.
PDO next?
Yes — PDO mapping.
