Getting Started

The below instructions are for IMS CANopen products being used with IMS’s MD-CC500-000, USB to CANopen communication, and the IMS CANopen Tester software. Use the illustration above to follow along with the usage steps. This getting started will step the user from initializing the CAN bus to moving the motor in Profile Position mode.

Before applying power and launching software.

  1. Install PEAK Drivers from CD
  2. Run SetUp.exe from IMS CD
  3. Connect power according to CANopen Hardware Reference Manual, Section 2.2 - Connecting Power.
  4. Connect communication according to this appendix.

You can now power the MDrive or MForce product and launch the CANopen Tester software.
With the MDrive or MForce powered and the CANopen Tester software launched, select through the following sequence as shown on the screen capture above.

  1. Click CAN Init
  2. Click Background – Background Clock should start running and data fields should be populated with current Index values.
  3. Click Msg Window Scripts – This will open another window to allow the user to
    see data being sent to MDrive or MForce in the following steps.
  4. Click Operation_Toggle three times (this steps through Index 0x6040 Control Word ending with Operation Enabled). This enables the output bridge of the driver.
  5. Enter the number “1” in the Modes of Operations field, this places the MDrive into Profile Position mode.
  6. Enter 512000 into the IDX67AH field, strike the return (Enter) key on your key board, the motor should move 10 revolutions.
