Step
Description
1
In Control Expert:
  • create the project and select the processor
2
In Control Expert:
  • open a CANopen bus configuration
  • choose the CANopen slave in hardware catalog
  • attribute a topological address to the new device
  • check or set MFB function in the configuration window of device
  • enable CANopen configuration
  • check the accuracy of the configuration using the CANopen configuration tree structure in the project browser.
3
Create the axes in the project browser’s Motion directory.
Define the variables associated with these axes during their creation
4
With the PowerSuite software:
  • connect to the device
  • enter the required parameters for the correct operation of the CANopen communication (address, speed, etc.).
5
Program the motion sequences using the appropriate functions blocks from the MFB library.
Associate the variables defined during creation of the axis with the MFB blocks.
6
Debug the axis using PowerSuite.
In Control Expert:
  • debug the program via the animation table
  • use the data via the operator screens
7
manage the production recipes using the appropriate function blocks from the MFB library:
  • create and back up the recipes
  • transfer data from the recipes
8
Data backup and restore procedures.
