At a Glance
In order to implement a CANopen bus, it is necessary to define the physical context of the application in which it is to be integrated (rack, supply, processor, modules or devices, etc.) then ensure the necessary software is implemented.
Its software implementation shall be performed from the different Control Expert editors:
The bus is configured using Sycon software.
Implementation Principle
The following table shows the different implementation phases.
Mode
Phase
Description
Offline
Declaration of the TSX CPP 110 PCMCIA card
The card must be installed in the type III PCMCIA slot of the processor.
Configuration
  • Configuration parameterization.
  • Declaration of the bus configuration by the Sycon software and generation of the *.CO configuration file.
  • Selection of the *.CO configuration file using Control Expert.
Offline or online
Symbolization
Symbolization of the variables associated with the CANopen card.
Programming
Programming the specific functions:
  • Bit objects and associated words,
  • Specific instructions.
Online
Transfer
Transferring the application to the PLC
A transfer of the application to the PLC or cold start of the application result starts and configures the TSX CPP 110 card.
Debug
Diagnostics
Different resources are available for debugging the application, controlling inputs/outputs and diagnosing faults:
  • Language objects or IODDTs,
  • The Control Expert debugging screen,
  • Signaling by LED.
Offline or online
Documentation
Printing the various information relating to the configuration of the TSX CPP 110 card.
NOTE: The order shown above is for information purposes only. Control Expert software makes it possible to use the editors in the order you wish, and interactively (however, the data or program editor cannot be used without having first performed the configuration).
