Note that as a convenience to customers Copley offers a certain level of customization to tailor
Xenus Plus drives for a given application. This level of customization is most often limited to
factory configuration of user programmable parameters, but can include signal level hardware
differences to accommodate less common motor feedback devices. Drives with this customization
carry the “Xenus Plus” or “Xenus Plus 2-Axis” marking, but are assigned customer specific model
numbers that begin with “800-“ followed by four or five alphanumeric characters. These Xenus
Plus and Xenus Plus 2-Axis “800” number models are included within the scope of this manual
unless otherwise noted.
A separate +24 Vdc logic supply is required to power the internal logic and control circuits. These
are isolated from the high-voltage power supply and inverter stage that connect to the mains. This
simplifies system design by allowing the mains to be completely disconnected from the drive for
safety reasons while allowing the logic side of the drive to stay powered. This allows the drive to
retain position information and maintain communication through the digital I/O or over the serial or
CAN, EtherCAT, or MACRO ports when disconnected from the mains.
The Xenus Plus models are RoHS compliant.
1.2: CME 2
Drive commissioning is fast and simple using Copley Controls CME 2 software. CME 2
communicates with Xenus Plus via an RS-232, CANopen, or EtherCAT link, and all of the
operations needed to configure the drive are accessible through CME 2.
The multi-drop feature allows CME 2 to use a single RS-232 serial connection to one drive as a
gateway to other drives linked together by CAN bus connections.
Auto phasing of brushless motor Hall sensors and phase wires eliminates “wire and try.”
Connections are made once and CME 2 does the rest. Encoder or resolver wire swapping to
establish the direction of positive motion is also eliminated.
Motor data can be saved as .CCM files. Drive data is saved as .CCX files that contain all drive
settings plus motor data. This makes it possible to quickly set up drives by copying configurations
from one drive to another.
