1. Product Overview

1.1 Introduction

The CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200 is a plug-in IP20 compliant communication module
designed to be used as an accessory to a SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC. It provides the user with the possibility
to connect a CANopen network to a SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC.
The figure below shows a CM CANopen module attached to a SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC to provide the
connection from the PLC to CANopen. In this case the PLC is standalone, but it is possible to connect
it to a PROFINET network.
The CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200 can be configured either as a CANopen manager or
as a slave, depending on the application. The network and the module are configured using external con-
figuration tools (TIA Portal and CM CANopen Configuration Studio). See "Configuration" on page 10.
