CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200
Doc.Rev. 1.00
5.3 CANopen Network Configuration
An external CANopen configuration tool
1
is used to configure the nodes on the CANopen network.
The resulting Concise DCF files are downloaded to the CANopen manager using a USB connection be-
tween the PC and the CM CANopen module. At the next startup the CANopen manager will configure
the network, if this function was set in the configuration tool during initial configuration.
The CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200 can be configured either as a manager or as a slave
on the CANopen network. The configuration is decided by the PLC (by the Parameterization values).
5.4 Configuration Files
The Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file for the CM CANopen Module for SIMATIC S7-1200 will be au-
tomatically installed with the CANopen configuration tool. This file is necessary to perform the config-
uration of the module on the CANopen network. Updated versions will be available at www.hms-
networks.com/can-for-S7-1200.
The necessary information for configuring the module with the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC can be included
in TIA portal by installing the HSP file
2
.
5.5 Configuration Example
This section gives an example of a TIA Portal configuration of the CM CANopen module from HMS
Industrial Networks in combination with the S7-1200 PLC from Siemens. In this example a CPU of type
1214C is used, but the example can be applied to all other PLC types as well. To run this example, the
HSP file, that can be downloaded from www.hms-networks.com/can-for-S7-1200, must have been in
-
stalled.
