The EcoStruxure Machine Expert project AltivarPLCopenCANopenExample.project provides an application example which shows how to implement an Altivar variable speed drive controlled via fieldbus CANopen. The application example is based on a programming framework supporting general machine control. The monitor and control functions for the Altivar drives are implemented using the PLCopen function blocks from the library GMC Independent PLCopen MC.
System Requirements and Limitations
The application example has been created with the components listed in the table:

1) This example is based on the Modicon M241 Logic Controller, however, in principle, the concepts for the implementation of the Altivar drives on CANopen are the same for other EcoStruxure Machine Expert controllers. As a precondition, the controller must support the CANopen manager and the GMC Independent PLCopen MC library. |
