RS-232 communication from a terminal (RealTerm)/ master

2023-04-03T13:58:07+00:00

RS-232 communication from a terminal (RealTerm)/ master All the Technosoft servo drives or intelligent motors can communicate via the RS-232 protocol. This is a point-to-point, full duplex communication, allowing simultaneous transmission in both directions.The Technosoft drives and motors communicate serially using 8 data bits, 2 stop bits, no parity at the following baud rates: 9600 [...]

How to modify the controllers parameters during the program execution using CANOpen objects [II]

2018-09-08T21:45:20+00:00

The controller parameters (Kp, Ki, Kd) can be set using object 2067h through the SDO protocol. Each controller parameter (Kp, Ki and Kd) is represented internally with 2 parameters, i.e. the proportional part of position controller, KP, is represented with KPP and SFTKPP variables. The KPx, KIx and KDx parameters have a range between 0 and 32767, while the SFTKPx, SFTKIx and [...]

PEAK SYS USB-CAN interface installation in EasyMotion Studio [GB]

2018-09-08T21:43:59+00:00

The PC to CAN interfaces from PeakSYS require that the communication API ("PCANbasic.DLL") is present in the EasyMotion Studio folder. The PCANbasic.DLL file is provided by PeakSYS; it can be found on the installation disk shipped together with the CAN interface or it can be downloaded from the PeakSYS website. Older versions of the communication [...]

TML message timing over various networks and protocols: CAN (TMLCAN / TechnoCAN) and RS232 [II]

2023-04-04T08:42:44+00:00

TML message timing over various networks and protocols: CAN (TMLCAN / TechnoCAN) and RS232 [II] Here you can find how fast a TML message is sent over various communication channels. The values presented assume an error free transmission with no retries. The time values represent the maximum theoretical message delivery time on the indicated communication [...]

How to change the default CAN baud rate [II]

2018-09-08T21:43:28+00:00

The default CAN baud rate for a Technosoft drive is 500 kbps. A drive can be set to use a different CAN baud rate than the default one by selecting one of the available entries in the Drive Setup dialogue in EasySetup / EasyMotion Studio. Valid values are: 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps and 1 Mbps. Please [...]

TMLCAN vs. TechnoCAN vs. CANopen [II]

2018-09-08T21:43:40+00:00

The first implementation of a CAN bus communication protocol on Technosoft drives was TMLCAN, our own proprietary protocol based on CAN-BUS 2.0B specifications (29 bit identifier). This protocol enables the transfer of TML (Technosoft Motion Language) instructions over the CAN bus, allowing for great versatility when programming distributed intelligence motion systems. Technosoft drives also support the [...]

The difference between TMLCAN and TechnoCAN [II]

2018-09-08T21:43:33+00:00

Both TMLCAN and TechnoCAN protocols allow a Technosoft drive to communicate via CAN bus using TML (Technosoft Motion Language) instructions. TMLCAN is based on CAN-BUS 2.0B specifications, with a 29 bit identifier. TechnoCAN is based on CAN-BUS 2.0A specifications, with a 11 bit identifier. It was specifically designed to allow TML communication between Technosoft drives/motors and a host on a CANopen network, without interfering with the [...]

RS232 protocol on Technosoft drives

2024-05-27T15:06:42+00:00

All Technosoft drives use the following settings for the RS232 communication: 8 data bits, 2 stop bits, no parity and no flow control. The RS-232 protocol is full duplex, allowing simultaneous transmission in both directions. After power on or reset, the default baud rate is set to 9600bps. Once the communication between the host and the [...]
