2.4 CME
Drive commissioning is fast and simple using Copley Controls CME software. CME communicates with
Accelnet & Stepnet
via an RS-232, CANopen, or EtherCAT link, and all of the operations needed to configure
the drive are accessible through CME.
The serial multi-drop feature allows CME to use a single RS-232 serial connection to one drive as a gateway
to other drives linked together by CAN bus connections.
Auto phasing of brushless motor Hall sensors and phase wires eliminates “wire and try.” Connections are made
once and CME does the rest. Encoder or resolver wire swapping to establish the direction of positive motion
is also eliminated.
Drive data can be saved & restored in a number of file types with the following file type extensions:
•
CCM
Motor, encoder, and brake settings
•
CCX
Drive configuration and settings
•
CCP
Indexer 2 (CVM, Copley Virtual Machine) programs
•
CCT
Cam tables
•
CCG
Gain-scheduling tables
•
CCD
Drive settings

CVM
is an embedded virtual programmable controller used to download Copley’s Indexer 2 programs to
Copley drives. It is
accessed via CME and can be opened from CME’s main window.

Copley Motion Objects (CMO) makes CANopen or EtherCAT network commissioning fast and simple. All
network housekeeping is taken care of automatically by a few simple commands linked into your application
program. CMO provides a suite of .NET objects that can be used by Visual Basic, LabVIEW, or any other
program supporting the Microsoft .NET object interface.
2.7 CML

CML provides a suite of C++ source code, allowing a C++ application program to communicate with and control
a drive over the CANopen or EtherCAT network.

CPL is Copley’s high level programming language for writing custom CVM programs. It expands on CVM’s
Indexer 2 capabilities with interrupts and features that are faster and more flexible, including looping and
branching capabilities.
