CANopen encoder

Shield 4.7
To achieve the highest possible noise immunity and electromagnetic compatibility
the bus and power supply cables must always be shielded� The shield must be
connected to ground on both ends of the cable� In certain cases a compensation
current can flow across the shield� Therefore a compensation wire for the potential
is recommended�
EDS file 4.8
An EDS file can be downloaded from our website:
→
www�ifm�com
Contents of the EDS file:
communication functions and objects as defined in the CANopen ●
communication profile DS-301
device-specific objects as defined in the encoder profile DS-406
●
manufacturer-specific objects ●
The EDS file serves as a template for different configurations of a device type� A
DCF file is generated by the EDS file and describes a specific configuration of the
device including object values, selected baud rate and module ID�
CANopen configuration tools are available to support the CANopen network
configuration and the device configuration via the CAN bus� The information about
the device is in the EDS file�
The EDS installation process depends on your configuration tool� In case of
problems please contact your controller supplier�
Parameter setting 4.9
If the device is in the pre-operational status, the parameters are set by the
configuration tool using the objects in the EDS file� During runtime the parameters
can also be changed (operating status)�
