CANopen is a widely used industrial bus system and can be used 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 of 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 and gantry cranes

The CM CANopen module has the following properties:

• Interface module for CANopen (master/slave) for SIMATIC S7-1200

• Connection of up to 16 CANopen slave stations in the master mode

• 256 bytes of input data and 256 bytes of output data per module

• Connection of up to 3 modules per CPU

• 3 LEDs for module, network and I/O status diagnostics

• Possible integration of the module into the hardware catalog of the TIA Portal configuration suite

• Supports Transparent CAN 2.0A for processing customer-specific protocols

• CANopen implementation according to communication profiles CiA 301 Rev. 4.2 and CiA 302 Rev. 4.1 (master)

The CANopen bus can be configured via any commercially available CANopen configuration tool. The HMS company also supplies suitable "CM CANopen Configuration Studio" software with the product. The configuration is saved directly on the module by means of a USB connection. Routing via PROFIBUS/PROFINET is not possible.

Preprogrammed function blocks are available for easier PLC programming in the TIA Portal.
