Drive configuration

The following information applies to all drive types compatible with
the adapter module, unless otherwise stated.


CANopen connection configuration

After the adapter module has been mechanically and electrically
installed according to the instructions in chapters Mechanical
installation and Electrical installation, the drive must be prepared
for communication with the module.
The detailed procedure of activating the module for CANopen
communication with the drive depends on the drive type. Normally,
a parameter must be adjusted to activate the communication. See
the drive-specific start-up sections on pages 58, 64, 69 and 75.
Once communication between the drive and the adapter module
has been established, several configuration parameters are copied
to the drive. These parameters are shown in the tables below and
must be checked first and adjusted where necessary.
Note: Not all drives display descriptive names for the configuration
parameters. To help you identify the parameters in different drives,
the names displayed by each drive are given in grey boxes in the
tables.
An example on how to configure PDOs via the CAN bus is given in
section PDO configuration via the CAN bus.
Note: The new settings take effect only when the adapter module
is powered up the next time or when the fieldbus adapter refresh
parameter is activated.

Data transfer rates supported

The FCAN-01 CANopen adapter module supports the following
CANopen communication speeds: 50 kbit/s, 100 kbit/s, 125 kbit/s,
250 kbit/s, 500 kbit/s, 1 Mbit/s.
Note: The CANopen standard CiA 301 does not list 100 kbit/s as a
recommended bit rate, and therefore it should not be used in new
installations.
