Chapter 1 - Introduction
This manual describes the SBI-COP/DN-AGy option card aimed at connect-
ing the Drives to CANopen or DeviceNet networks.
The drives belonging to the AGy series can be mains connected via the
SBI-COP/DN-AGy card.
This manual is addressed to desing engineers and technicians responsible
for the maintenance and the commissioning of CANopen and DeviceNet
systems.
A CANopen and DeviceNet basic knowledge is therefore required; for further
information see the following manuals:
- CANopen CAL-Base COMMUNICATION PROFILE for Industrial Sys-
tems; CiA Draft Standard 301 Version 3.0. Issue October 1996 by CAN
in Automation e. V.
- DeviceNet Specifications. Volume 1 - DeviceNet Communication Model
and Protocol (Issued by ODVA).
- DeviceNet Specifications. Volume 2 - DeviceNet Device Profiles and
Object Library (Issued by ODVA).
1.1 CANopen General Description
CANopen is a CAL-based communication profile for industrial systems. The
reference document is the CIA Draft Standard 301 Specification revision 3.0
dated 30.10.1996.
The used CAN protocol (ISO 11898) is the CAN2.0A type with an 11-bit
identificator.
The SBI card is developed as “Minimum Capability Device”.
The data exchange is cyclic; the Master unit reads the Slave input data and
writes the Slave output data. The Baud Rates supported by the SBI card are
those foreseen by the CANopen specification.
The physical support is given by the CAN standard; the Bus can be connected
to a maximum number of 127 Slaves.
1.2 DeviceNet General Description
DeviceNet is a profile of communication for industrial systems based on
CAN.
As protocol CAN (ISO 11898) is used CAN2.0A with the 11 bit identifier.
The SBI card is developed as “Slave UCMM Capable Device” for operating
only in “Predefined Master/Slave Connection Set”.
The data transfer is carried out cyclically; the Master unit reads the data
supplied by the Slaves and writes the Slave reference data; the Baud Rate
supported by the SBI card are:
- 125 kbit
- 250 kbit
- 500 kbit .
The physical support is given by the DeviceNet standard; a maximum of 64
Slaves can be connected to the Bus.
