5 Commissioning - SD6 and MC6 with
CANopen
You want to operate several SD6 drive controllers in conjunction with the
STOBER MC6 Motion Controller via a CANopen network.
The following chapter describes the commissioning of the stated systems with
the aid of the STOBER DS6 Software DriveControlSuite as well as the
CODESYS project planning software from the manufacturer 3S-Smart
Software Solutions GmbH.
To be able to implement the individual commissioning steps exactly, we require
the following system environment:
• STOBER Motion Controller MC6
• STOBER SD6A drive controller with CA6A communication module
• STOBER DS6 DriveControlSuite from version 6.0-F
• CODESYS from version 3.5
Commissioning is divided into the following steps:
1. DriveControlSuite: Configure drive controller
The CA6 communication module in conjunction with the CiA 402 device
controller are activated separately for each subscribing drive controller on
the bus system in the DriveControlSuite. Associated CANopen-specific
settings such as parameterization and assignment of the process data
channels are also configured for data transfer for each drive controller.
2. CODESYS: map and configure CAN network
CODESYS provides a platform in which the CANopen hardware
environment can be mapped, set up and saved as a global project
configuration. This project configuration is finally saved in the MC6
controller. The CODESYS software is thus the CAN interface for the
connection of all drive controllers in the CAN group to the MC6 controller.
5.1 DS6: Configure drive controller
To be able to configure all drive controllers of the bus system via the
DriveControlSuite, you must record them as part of a project. You then define
global CANopen settings and adapt the predefined communication objects and
their channels to your requirements.
Perform the steps included in the following chapters in the specified order!
5.1.1 Activate CA6 and CiA402
We recommend recording all drive controllers in the DriveControlSuite
subscribing to the bus system in one project and under one module.
1. Start the DriveControlSuite and click on Create new standard project.
The newly created project automatically includes a module, a drive
controller and an axis. You can rename these elements as desired.
2. Mark the (first) drive controller in the project tree and click on Project
planning.
The project planning window opens.
3. Select the Option modules tab and activate the communication module
CA6A CANopen.
4. Select the Device controller tab and activate (the latest version of) the
device controller CiA 402 CANopen.
5. Confirm with OK and close the subsequent information window.
