CANopen solutions: High performance CANopen master, various I/O and intelligent gateways.
ICP DAS has been developing CANopen series products for a long period. And continually released the CANopen products include PCI boards, intelligent gateway modules, various CANopen I/O modules and high performance CANopen master modules for ICP DAS’s PAC series controllers. Those products not only provide high performance and cost effective solutions, but also help users to accomplish various CANopen applications which especially in harsh environment.
Application short stories:
● Corrugated carton cutting system
In this case, the orientation and cutting speeds seriously affect the quantity of output. Because all of the cutting knives and rollers must be controlled by 31 motors, the customer selects the CANopen motors to do that. The WP-8441(PAC) and I-87123(CANopen Master module) play the role of a CANopen master to control all of the motors simultaneously by the CANopen features of the synchronization and high speed. By using this architecture, all of the motors can quickly move to the target position at the same time by just sending one command.
● Magnetic Resonance Imaging Cooling System
In order to reduce the cost, a MRI manufacturer use the chiller made in China instead of German product. However, the customer gets into trouble with the different communication interface. By using the I-7232D(CANopen to Modbus RTU gateway), this problem is solved. I-7232D can be the Modbus RTU master while talking with the chiller. In the CANopen network, I-7232D is a CANopen slave. Therefore, I-7232D can easy bypass the information of the chiller to the CANopen master, and transfer the CANopen commands to the chiller.
