16-8  CANopen Master control applications   
Control of a simple multi-axis application is required in certain situations. If the device supports the 
CANopen  protocol,  a  CP2000  can  serve  as  the  master  in  implementing  simple  control  (speed 
control). The setting method comprises the following seven steps:   
Step 1: Activating CANopen Master functions 
1.  Pr.09-45=1 (initiates Master functions); restart power after completing setting, the status bar 
on the KPC-CC01 digital keypad will display "CAN Master".     
2.  Pr.00-02=6 reset PLC (please note that this action will reset the program and PLC registers 
to the default values)   
3.  Turn power off and on again.   
4.  Use  the  KPC-CC01  digital  keypad  to  set  the  PLC  control  mode  as  "PLC  Stop" (if a 
newly-introduced driver is used, the blank internal PLC program will cause a PLFF warning 
code to be issued).   
Step 2: Master memory settings 
1.  After connecting the 485 communications cable, use WPL Soft to set the PLC status as 
Stop (if the PLC mode has been switched to the "PLC Stop" mode, the PLC status should 
already be Stop)     
2.  Set the address and corresponding station number of the slave station to be controlled. For 
instance,  if  it  is  wished  to  control  two  slave  stations  (a  maximum  of  8  stations  can  be 
controlled simultaneously), and the station numbers are 21 and 22, it is only necessary to 
set D2000 and D2100 as 20 and 21, and then set D2200, D2300, D2400, D2500, D2600, 
and D2700 as 0. The setting method involves use of the PLC's WPL editing software WPL 
as follows:   
  Open WPL and implement communications > register edit (T C D) function
