Overview of the CANopen protocol and the FCAN-01 adapter module 25
FCAN-01 CANopen adapter module
The FCAN-01 CANopen adapter module is an optional device for
ABB drives. It enables the connection of the drive to a CANopen
network. The drive is considered as a slave (server) on the
CANopen network.
Through the adapter module you can:
•
give control commands to the drive (for example, Start, Stop,
Run enable)
•
feed a motor speed, torque or position reference to the drive
•
give a process actual value or a process reference to the PID
controller of the drive
•
read status information and actual values from the drive
•
change drive parameter values
•
reset a drive fault.
The CANopen commands and services supported by the adapter
module are discussed in chapter Communication protocol on page
109 . Refer to the drive manuals as to which commands are
supported by the drive.
The adapter module is mounted into an option slot on the motor
control board of the drive. See the drive manuals for module
placement options.
