4.4.8 Necessary accessories to MAC-FC2/FC4:
On our web page www.jvl.dk you can, under the downloads menu find the EDS file for
the MAC00-FC2/FC4 module, in the menu Field bus Interface Specifications Files.
EDS means Electronic Data Sheet. This file contains the information about the MAC00-
FC2/FC4 settings, that is required to configure the setup and program in the master.
The MAC00-FC2/FC4 is a slave module on the CAN-bus, the master can be for example
a PLC or a PC. If you are using a PLC as master, then make sure that it is provided with
a CANopen® communications module, and that the correct programming tools are
available. For getting support to the PLC master, it is more rewarding to use the PLC
vendor.
If you are using a PC as master JVL have some tools that can help you when you are in-
stalling and using the MAC00-FC2/FC4.
The latest firmware for the MAC00-FC2/FC4 module is in the menu downloads/
firmware. In the menu for programs you can find the program CanOpen Explorer, this
is a free-ware program.
The CanOpen Explorer program can be used to load the EDS file, and operate with the
motor. The CanOpenExplorer program shall use a special dongle for communication
with the PC, see section 4.3.17 for further information about the dongle. The PC has to
be provided with a CANopen® communications module. In section 4.3.46 there is a sur-
vey of cables JVL can supply, for the CAN-bus.
The MacTalk program can be used to debug the CAN bus, and make the initial set up on
the motor see section 1.1 for setting up the MAC motor. In the menu for programs you
can find the program MacTalk, but be aware that this is not a free-ware program. Please
contact your JVL representative for further information.
4.4.9 EDS (Electronic data Sheet)
In order to give the user of CANopen® more support, are the device description avail-
able in a standardised way, and it gives the opportunity to create standardised tools for
configuration of CANopen® devices, designing networks with CANopen® devices and
managing project information on different platforms. The EDS file are ASCII-coded.
