CANopen configuration of the gateway - how the data are transferred

NOTICE
i
This documentation does not address the installation of the CANopen network or the other com-
ponents of the automation system project in the network configuration tool. It is assumed that
the CANopen project in the configuration program, e.g. 3S Software CoDeSys 2.x, has already
been set up. The examples presented are based on configurations created with the help of
CoDeSys 2.3.
The following steps are required to configure the communication between the PLC and the gateway.
Step 1: Install the electronic data sheet (EDS file)
Before the MSI-FB-CANOPEN module can be used for the first time as equipment in the network configur-
ation tool, e.g. CoDeSys 2.3, the electronic data sheet (EDS file) of the gateway must first be installed in
the hardware catalog of the tool.
Ä Download the EDS file and the equipment symbol from the product site of the MSI-FB-CANOPEN mod-
ule (http://www.leuze.com).
Ä Follow the instructions for the installation of EDS files in the online help section or in the user manual
for the CANopen network configuration tool.
Example – How to install the EDS file with CoDeSys 2.3:
Ä Open the window for editing the control configuration.
Fig. 10.5: CoDeSys editing window for control configuration
Ä Choose the command Add configuration file... from the Extras menu. A file selection window is
opened.
Ä Select the EDS file of the MSI-FB-CANOPEN module and click the Open button.
Step 2: Add the gateway to the controls
To make the system of the MSI 400 system available in the process diagram of the PLC, the gateway must
first be added to the hardware configuration. The procedure to be used depends on the hardware configur-
ation software of the PLC used. Please also read the documentation for the corresponding software in this
regard.
Ä Open the window for editing the control configuration and select the controls.
Ä Click the controller with the right mouse button or open the Insert menu.
