CANopen Configuration with "Schleicher CANopen Configuration"
The
Schleicher CANopen configuration
that is installed together
with the MULTIPROG add-ons is provided for setup of simple
CANopen networks. The configurator is a pure offline tool, i.e. there is
no communication to the CAN card of the controller. The tool
generates program code that is listed when the PLC is started. A
series of SDOs are transferred to the controller that configure the
network.

configuration
One or more CAN cards can be configured in the configuration
window (according to the controller). CAN devices such as bus
couplers or drives can easily be added using a selection list. The
receive and send PDOs supported by the device are automatically
added. The created configuration is saved and all required changes to
the PLC project are made (incl. generation of the PLC program code).
As the configurator operates offline, a direct error diagnosis with the
tool itself is not possible. However, PLC program code and variables
are generated that allow the configuration of the CANopen network to
be checked after the start of the PLC. The values of these variables
can be checked in the online mode of MULTIPROG.
