5.6 Expansion Mod. MAC00-FC2/FC4/FC41
5.6.14 CanOpenExplorer program
The CanOpenExplorer is a program that was developed for internal use only, especially
in the production, but the program have features that is nice to have, and make it more
easily to start up the MAC motor when this is supply with a MAC00-FC2/FC4 modul.
The program can write and send SDOs, PDOs, SYNC and heartbeat message, and finally
it can reads EDS files.
5.6.15 An overall method for communication test
Depending on which type of master and software solution there are available, shall these
parts be available:
PLC: PLC with a CANopen® module and software that can communicate with this
module. The CANopen® module shall be connected to a CAN bus, as shown in
section 5.6.13. To set up the master, download the EDS file from the JVL web
page, see section 5.6.8. This file contains all register set-up data for the MAC
module. The node-ID, the Baud-rate, and the termination resistor, has to be se-
lected on the module, see from section 5.6.11 to section 5.6.13, and the power
supply has to be connected to the motor as shown in section 3.2.8.
PC: PC with a CAN adaptor and software that can communicate with this module,
or if the CanOpen Explorer software is used the PCAN-USB Dongle from Peak-
system that is connected to a USB port on the PC. Peak systems web page are
www.peak-system.com here are a list of distributors. If MacTalk is used, the PC
and the MAC module are connected via the RS232 interface on the MAC mod-
ule. To set up the master, download the EDS file from the JVL web-page. This
file contains all register set-up in the MAC module. The node-ID, the Baud-rate,
and the termination resistor, has to be selected physically on the module, see
from
section 5.6.11 to section 5.6.13, and the power supply has to be connected
to the motor as shown in section 3.2.8.
If CanOpenExplorer is used, see the following method to test the motor communication:
- Load CanOpenExplorer.
- Connect the motor to the USB port via the Dongle.
- Connect power supply, see section 3.2.8
- Run the CanOpenExplorer program on the PC.
1: Select the correct node ID, in the slave.
2: Select the EDS file, for all the MAC motors it is MAC00-fc.eds.
3: Load the EDS file by pressing load.
