MDrive34ac Plus CANopen
MDrive CANopen supports CiA DS301 and DSP402 Device Profile for Drives and Motion Control.
MDrive CANopen products function as nodes on a system with central control such as a PLC. Note: they do not include the full programmability of the RS-422/485 MDrive Motion Control products.
Features include:
- Node ID and BAUD rate set by Layer Setting Services (LSS)
- Capable of Standard Frequencies (10 kHz to 1 MHz)
- Supports node monitoring via Node Guarding or Heartbeat Messages
- Three PDO (Process Data Objects) which support variable PDO mapping
- Conforms to CiA DSP-402: Device Profile for Drives and Controls
- Supported Modes of Operation
- Profile Position
- Homing Mode
- Profile Velocity

- Encoders
- Connectivity solutions
Internal encoder
The internal encoder option is a 512-line (2048 count) differential magnetic encoder. The internal magnetic encoder offers two key advantages:
- Reduced connections externally, thus reduced system cabling, as encoder feedback is all internal to the MDrivePlus.
- Smaller footprint to the MDrivePlus than an externally mounted encoder.
NOTE: To view specific connectivity options for a particular MDrive model, see Connector options by P/N tab above.
Communications Converters
Electrically Isolated, in-line converters pre-wired with mating connectors to conveniently set parameters and program a single MDrivePlus via a PC USB port.
| Converter Part Number | Mating Connector Type |
| MD-CC500-000 (CANopen) | Interface cable required - view details |
If building your own cabling, you will need:
- Cabling with appropriate mating connectors for the MDrive model selected
- For information on Party Mode (Multidrop) communications view the product manual
Prototype Development Cables
Prototype development cables are designed to speed test/development with pre-wired mating connectors that have flying leads other end.
| Prototype Development Cable P/N | Mating Connector Type | Signal Type |
| MD-CS100-000 | 19-Pin Circular (Straight) | I/O |
| MD-CS101-000 | 19-Pin Circular (Right-Angle) | I/O |
| MD-CS-200-000 | 3-Pin Euro-AC (Straight) | Power |
| MD-CS-201-000 | 3-Pin Euro-AC (Right-Angle) | Power |
If building your own cabling, you will need:
- Appropriate mating connector and crimp pins if required (Mating connector kits are available for Locking Wire Crimp style connectors)
- Field Solderable circular connector
- Shielded twisted pair cabling
