Startup Of Cx1500-B310 For Canopen - Beckhoff CX1500-M510 Manual

Assembly and connecting
The status of the CANopen bus is shown in the upper region of CX1500-M310 entry. The programmer can
connect these signals with variables in PLC to analyze them in the program (e.g. error codes for saving
states or registers). Below "BOX1" is a status field (NodeState, DiagFlag und EmergencyCounter)) for
transfer diagnosis. Next are the input / output signals. The tree shows the Process-Data-Objects (PDO) that
are created in the process image of the salve module. The variables can be accessed by mapping them to
the PLC program. The direction represents the view of the slave: inputs are read by TX-channel / outputs are
written to the RX-channel. If the box is a bus coupler (see Box 2) the available bus terminals are displayed.
The number of the box represents the bus address . In "Free-Run-Mode" of TwinCAT the bus function can
be checked easily: Just force a signal by "write online" and see if the control LED ion the terminal lights up.
If the PLC project is loaded the signals can be connected with the variables by double click in signal. (For
further details see documentation on TwinCAT). The connected signals are marked by a small arrow on the
signal icon. If all signals and variables are connected the new configuration can be saved and loaded onto
the CX-System. The PLC program is started via PLC control.
