Software setup
The CANopen bus is configured using SyCon
(1)
software, reference
SYC SPU LF
p
CD2AM
(
to be ordered separately). This software is used to:
b
Describe all the devices connected on the bus
b
Generate a “.CO” file containing all the information relating to the connected
devices. This extension file is imported into the PLC application via the PL7 Micro/
Junior/Pro or Unity Pro programming software
(2)
.
If the configuration file is too large for the capacity of the host PLC processor (see
characteristics below), it is possible to load the CANopen master configuration
directly onto the
TSX CPP 110
card via a type III PCMCIA port on the PC on which
the SyCon software is installed.
With the PL7 Micro/Junior/Pro or Unity Pro software
(2)
the CANopen bus card can
be configured so that the exchanges between the PLC processor and the
TSX CPP 110
card are executed at the same rate as the master task or the fast task.
The process data exchanged with the slaves can be accessed using %MW standard
words, the number of which depends on the type of processor and the task in which
the module has been declared. PL7 Micro/Junior/Pro or Unity Pro
(2)
standard
function blocks are used to set the parameters of the devices.
Note:
In addition to supporting the CANopen protocol which uses V2.0A standard CAN
identifiers on 11 bits, the card enables direct access to the CAN link layer via V2.0B CAN
identifiers on 29 bits, used by the majority of CAN devices. In certain applications this enables
simultaneous control of CANopen devices and specific CAN products.
