LMD CANopen Drives may perform unintended movements because of incorrect wiring, incorrect settings, incorrect data, or other errors. Interference (EMC) may cause unpredictable responses in the system. Further, the behavior of the drive system is governed by stored data or settings. Unsuitable settings or data may trigger unintended movements or responses to signals and disable monitoring functions.

LMD CANopen Basics Basics Mode of Operation The “LMD CANopen”, which uses DS301 communication profile, is the interface between device profiles and CAN bus. It was specified in 1995 under the name DS301 and defines uniform standards for common data exchange between different device types under CANopen. The DSP402 device profile describes standardized objects for positioning, monitoring, and settings of drives.

LMD CANopen Operation by hMT Modes Profile Torque Mode NOTE: Profile torque mode is only available on LMD CANopen models with an encoder. The profile torque mode allows the motor to transmit the target torque value, which is processed via the trajectory generator in concert with the hMT logic. The LMD will maintain constant torque on the load at the commanded torque speed.
Page 67
Operation by hMT Modes LMD CANopen hMT Off (Bypass) With hMT disabled, the motion block of the device will operate as a standard integrated stepper controller/drive/motor. Commands for absolute or relative positioning, or slew at velocity are received via the CAN bus and processed as commanded, bypassing the hMT logic block.
Page 68
LMD CANopen Operation by hMT Modes hMT On (Fixed Current) With hMT enabled in fixed current mode, hMT will use the integrated encoder to maintain the rotor/stator relationship within the set control bounds. Commands for absolute or relative positioning, or slew at velocity, are received via the CAN bus and processed through the hMT logic block.
I/O Operation LMD CANopen I/O Operation The LMD CANopen NEMA 17 (42 mm) features the following I/O points: • Three general purpose inputs. • One 12-bit analog input. • One high-speed signal output. For detailed descriptions of each I/O configuration parameter, please reference the CANopen Fieldbus Manual.
