CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200
Doc.Rev. 1.00
Chapter 5
5. Configuration
5.1 General
Configuration of the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC to provide connectivity to a CAN/CANopen network,
using the CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200, can be done in different ways, depending on
the application.
The CANopen network, and the behavior of the module on this network, have to be configured using
an external CANopen configuration tool on the PC and the configuration is downloaded to the CM
CANopen module through the module USB connection.
The module can be configured either as a manager or as a slave, depending on the application.
5.2 SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC Configuration
1
Siemens TIA Portal is used to configure the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC and the CM CANopen Module for
SIMATIC S7-1200. The module can be imported into the tool.
The CM CANopen module offers the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC access to a CAN/CANopen network,
where the CM CANopen module either acts as a Transparent CAN module or acts as a slave or a man
-
ager on a CANopen network, depending on the settings in the parameter list. The SIMATIC S7-1200
may act as a PROFINET slave, with another PLC on the PROFINET network as master. If so, the SI
-
MATIC S7-1200 together with the CM CANopen module can act as a gateway between PROFINET
and CANopen.
A example on how to configure the system is given on page 12.
1. The configuration procedure in TIA Portal is the same for CANopen and CAN networks.
