1.2: CME 2
Amplifier commissioning is fast and simple using Copley Controls CME 2 software. CME 2
communicates with Xenus via an RS-232 link, and all of the operations needed to configure the
amplifier are accessible through CME 2.
The multi-drop feature allows CME 2 to a single RS-232 serial connection to one amplifier as a
gateway to other amplifiers 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 2 does the rest. Encoder or resolver wire swapping to
establish the direction of positive motion is also eliminated.
Motor data can be saved as
.ccm
files. Amplifier data is saved as
.ccx
files that contain all
amplifier settings plus motor data. This makes it possible to quickly set up amplifiers by copying
configurations from one amplifier to another.
1.3: CMO/CML
Copley Motion Libraries (CML) and Copley Motion Objects (CMO) make CANopen system
commissioning fast and simple. All network housekeeping is taken care of automatically by a few
simple commands linked into your application program. CML provides a suite of C++ libraries,
allowing a C++ application program to communicate with and control an amplifier over the
CANopen network. CMO provides a similar suite of COM objects that can be used by Visual
Basic, .NET, LabVIEW, or any other program supporting the Microsoft COM object interface.
