About This Manual
This book is a technical reference manual for the IBL2403 family of intelligent servo drives,
including the following products:
IBL2403-RS232 (p/n P037.001.E001) - Universal Drive for Brushless, DC and step motors.
IBL2403-CAN (p/n P037.001.E002) - Universal Drive for Brushless, DC and step motors.
Standard execution using Technosoft TMLCAN protocol on CANbus
IBL2403-CAN, CANopen (BL) (p/n P037.001.E012) - Servo Drive for Brushless and DC motors
using CANopen protocol on CANbus
IBL2403-CAN, CANopen (ST) (p/n P037.001.E013) - Stepper Drive using CANopen protocol on
CANbus
In order to operate the IBL2403 drives, you need to pass through 3 steps:
Step 1 Hardware installation
Step 2 Drive setup using Technosoft EasySetUp software for drive commissioning
Step 3 Motion programming using one of the options:
A CANOpen master (for the IBL2403 CANopen version)
The drive built-in motion controller executing a Technosoft Motion Language (TML)
program developed using Technosoft EasyMotion Studio software
A TML_LIB motion library for PCs (Windows or Linux)
A TML_LIB motion library for PLCs
A distributed control approach which combines the above options, like for example
a host calling motion functions programmed on the drives in TML
This manual covers Step 1 in detail. It describes the IBL2403 hardware including the technical
data, the connectors and the wiring diagrams needed for installation. The manual also presents
