CANopen is a widely used industrial bus system for a variety of different applications. The module allows simple and cost-effective connection of CANopen applications to SIMATIC.
Control of hydraulic valves/axes in vehicles
Control of motors in packaging machines or conveyors
Capturing angular encoder positions in wind turbines
Capturing of control devices on machines, e.g. joysticks
Capturing the measured data of path encoders, inclinometers or angular encoders, e.g. for tower cranes or gantry cranes
The 1 SI CANopen module has the following properties:
Operation either as CAN master or CAN slave
The module complies with the CiA301rev CANopen specification. 4.2 or CiA302 (master).
It supports the transparent CAN 2.0A standard (11-bit identifier). In this mode, CAN message frames can be sent and received by the CPU program, thus enabling implementation of customized CAN protocols.
When used as master, up to 126 slaves, e.g. valves or actuators, can be operated on the module.
CiA und CANopen sind eingetragene Gemeinschaftsmarken von CAN in Automation e.V.
