Chapter 9 Serial Communication Module AS00SCM
9- 21
9.4.1.3 CANopen DS301 Mode
This mode supports AS Series PLC acts as the CPU and the 3
rd
party CANopen DS301 devices (non-AS series
devices and non-Delta PLC). When using Delta PLC as the CPU, you need to use CANopen Builder to set up.
Before using a 3
rd
party PLC, use AS Series PLC as the CPU and select the AS Remote Communication Mode.
Before connecting to CANopen DS301, turn the AS00SCM-A FORMAT1 knob to 4, and the adjustable range for
station knob ID2 becomes 0x1
h
~0xF
h
. This mode is used to communicate with a Master PLC from other brand.
See the detail in section 9.6.3. when the PDO data is mapped, AS00SCM-A can control the IO modules from its
right side.
Double-click the AS Series PLC, then in Device Setting click Function Card 2 Setting and set the function card
2 to AS-FCOPM, set to working mode to CANopen DS301.
Steps for a quick setup
1. Set up the PLC: in AS Remote Communication Mode, connect AS series PLC to AS00SCM-A, refer
to section 9.4.1.1 for more details.
2.
Use AS series PLC to scan the I/O modules installed on the right-side of AS00SCM-A and download the
parameters.
3. If using HWCONFIG to set up the node ID, you can use COM mode to connect AS00SCM-A to the right-side of
AS series PLC directly and no I/O module behind it. Use AS series PLC’s HWCONFIG to scan and add
AS00SCM-A in and then double-click the module to set up its node ID and then download the parameters. After
that, knob ID2 to 0.
4. Install the I/O module to the right side of AS00SCM-A and turn the working mode to RTU.
5. Turn FORMAT1 to 4 and use the CANopen cable to connect to the PLC, and then supply power to AS series
PLC.
6. Follow master’s CANopen setting method to install the slaves.
Refer to section 9.6.3 PDO examples, if you are using AH10COPM-5A as the CPU.
