Communication profiles

What this chapter contains

This chapter describes the communication profiles used in
communication between the CANopen network, the adapter
module and the drive.
Communication profiles
Communication profiles are ways of conveying control commands
(Control word, Status word, references and actual values) between
the master station and the drive.
With the FCAN-01 CANopen adapter module, the CANopen
network may employ the CiA 402 profile (Device profile for drives
and motion control) or the ABB Drives profile. Both are converted
to the native profile (for example, DCU or FBA, detailed in the drive
manuals) by the adapter module. In addition, two Transparent
profiles – for 16-bit and 32-bit words respectively – are available.
With the Transparent modes, no data conversion takes place.
Note: The CiA 402 operation mode support is drive-specific. See
CANopen device profile CiA 402 on page 89 for more details.
The profile is selected from the drive with parameter 05 PROFILE
of the fieldbus configuration group A. For example, if parameter 05
PROFILE is set to 0, the Control word of the drive is set according
to the CiA 402 specification.
