1.1 The CPX−CMXX Multi−Axis Interface
Festo P.BE−CPX−CMXX−E N en 0910a
The CPX−CMXX multi−axis interface is an intelligent module in
the CPX terminal for controlling electrical drive units from
Festo. With it, besides single−axis applications, coordinated
multi−axis movements, in particular, can be achieved very
easily.
Coordinated movements mean, in connection with the
CPX−CMXX, that synchronous PtP movements can be
performed.
Programming of the CPX −CMXX is not required for this.
Through its user−friendly surface, the Festo Configuration Tool
FCT makes it simple to configure, parameterise and
commission the CPX−CMXX and the axes. The CPX−CMXX is
designed for a total of 2 axis groups with up to 4 axes each.
The axes are connected via CANopen.
The CPX−CMXX multi−axis interface is controlled by a
higher−level controller via a CPX fieldbus node or through the
CPX−FEC/CPX−CEC controller integrated into the CPX terminal.
Communication to the CPX−CMXX is achieved through the
Festo FHPP−MAX data profile. The Festo data profile is based
on the Festo data profile FHPP, which was expanded for
multi−axis operation.
