1.1 About this manual
This manual describes how to parametrize and control the
servo controller of the family SEC−AC−... by using the standar
dised protocol CANopen. The adjustment of the physical
parameters, the activation of the CANopen protocol, the
embedding into a CAN network and the communication with
the controller will be explained.
1.2 How to use the CAN interface
The CAN interface is a unit of components which can be ac
quired as a plug−in module for the servo controllers of the
family SEC−AC−...
The plug−in unit is delivered already installed in the servo
controller SEC−AC−...−CO.
Once a CAN unit is plugged into the controller it is automati
cally identified by the controller but not activated.
The standard firmware of the servo controllers from version 6
onwards contains the features of CANopen.
If a CAN module is plugged into the controller the features of
CANopen have to be activated once via RS232.
Preferably this should be done via the parameter set−up pro
gram.
