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] 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
EasyMotion Studio / EasySetUp is able to communicate directly over the CAN bus with Technosoft drives, via one of the following PC-to-CAN-bus interfaces: 1) IxxAT PC to CAN interface (http://www.ixxat.com/) 2) Sys Tec USB to CAN interface (http://www.systec-electronic.de/) 3) ESD PC to CAN interface (http://www.esd-electronics.com/) 4) PEAK System PCAN-PCI interface (http://www.peak-system.com/) 5) PEAK System PCAN-ISA (http://www.peak-system.com/) 6) PEAK System PC/104 (http://www.peak-system.com/) [...]
