1 Introduction
This quickstart guide will show the bring up of a Trinamic CANopen module based on the TMCM-1240. To
get started with Trinamic CANopen modules a CANopen master is needed as well as CAN adapter which
is supported by the CANopen master. TMCM-CANopen (not TMCL-IDE) is an easy to use CANopen master
for the Trinamic CANopen modules. It supports reading and writing of CANopen objects as well as con-
trolling the CiA-402 modes of a CANopen drive.
CAN adapters supported by the TMCM-CANopen tool:
• Kvaser
• ESD
• Peak
• IXXAT
For a detailed list of supported CAN adapters refer to TMCM-CANopen tool manual V1.5.0.0 (chapter 3).
