CANopen Motion Control

The CANopen motion library, based on CiA 402, provides various motion control functions such as position control, velocity control, toque control, synchronous action, interpolation mode and etc. In addition to making the management of the CANopen motors easy, it could reduce the wire connection between the controller and motors, and provides rapid trouble shooting functions. The users are able to link to multiple CANopen motors to achieve multi-axis motion control by one host. And when performing the control of motors, the CANopen remote I/O modules(follow the CiA 301) still can be accessed at the same time. Therefore, the motion control application can be implemented easily and efficiently.

Benefits of CANopen Motion Control

1. It is suitable for distributed multi-axis motion control system.
2. It reduces the cost and labor of wiring
3. The users could freely choose from multiple motor options without being limited to certain motor.
4. The CAN hardware features a variety of error detection and error correction mechanisms which enhance the safety of communication bus.
5. CANopen I/O and motors from different vendors can be used in the same CANopen network.
