2.2 Software
Remark: in order to work with the software part of CBC-EIP, the user is expected to have basic
familiarity
with the Embedded Motion Control Library ( https://www.smac-
mca.com/documents/PDFs/Embedded%20Motion%20Control%20Library.pdf ) and the
CANopen protocol.
2.2.1 CBC-EIP basic configuration
Essentially, the CBC-EIP consists of an improved version of SMAC CBC controller and an
Ethernet/IP hardware and software interface. The improved version of the CBC controller
shares the basic functionalities of SMAC CBC/LCC controller and therefore, controller
configuration software such as LCC Control Centre, Motionlab and Composer can be used
(further details can be found here:
https://www.smac-mca.com/lcc-single-axis-brushless-
controller-p-125.html?cPath=1_10 ).
The typical steps to perform a basic configuration of CBC-EIP are as follow:
1. Establish a physical connection between a PC (with LCC Control Centre software) and
the RS232 connector on the CBC-EIP (powered with 24/48VDC). Make sure that the STO
inputs are energized, see section 2.1.4 of this manual for an instruction on how this can
also be done easily by using the on-board +5V power supply.
2. Install the LCC Control Centre software (downloadable from the link above) and copy
the file “System Macro V2.mlm” (obtainable from a SMAC sales/tech representative,
ask for a specific version for the CBC-EIP) into the LCC Control Centre folder, which is
typically located in the directory path:
C:\Program Files(x86)\SMAC\LCC Control
Centre . Overwrite the existing file of the same name.
3. Using the LCC Control Centre software, download the configuration file of the actuator
that is connected with the CBC-EIP. This file can be obtained from the link above or a
SMAC sales/tech representative.
4. Create an actuator initialization routine in macro 0:
a. For 1-phase actuators: Homing and a jump to macro 40
b. For 3-phase actuators: Phasing, homing and a jump to macro 40
Below is an illustration of the routine defined in macro 0. The command parameters
may be different from those indicated below.
If it is decided that the homing is to be done from the PLC through Ethernet/IP, then
the homing routine in macro 0 above could be removed.
5. Download macro 0 above into the CBC- EIP through the “Save all in controller” button.
6. If required, after executing macro 0 above, optimize the position control loop PID
parameters through the tuning feature in the LCC Control Centre software.
