CiA 402 - Drives and Motion Control Device Profile

Controlling the Power Drive System 

State Machine 

The drive state machine is controlled by the Controlword (0x6040) and the status is viewed by the Statusword (0x6041). The state machine can be operated as shown below

There are a few things to note when using the state machine

  • When the mode of operation is set to any CiA402 mode the state machine automatically  transitions to "Ready to switch on".

  • When the transitioning out of "Fault" the state machine automatically transitions to "Ready to switch on".

  • Section A

    • no torque is present on the motor in Section A regardless of if motor power is present

  • Section B

    • motor power must be present to transition to "Switched on".

    • If motor power is switched off or not present a fault will occur.

    • no torque is present on the motor in Section B.

  • Section C

    • If motor power is switched off or not present a fault will occur.

    • Torque is present on the motor in Section C.

    • It is possible for the master to transition straight to "Operation enabled".

  • See the Controlword description for additional information on state transitions 1-15.

Controlword (0x6040)  

The Controlword is used to transition between and set the required states in the state machine.

Voltage Enabled - Bit4

The CM1-E has separate control and motor power. The 24V motor power status can be read through bit 4 on the statusword.

  • bit4=1 - 24V motor drive power is detected. 

  • bit4=0 -   motor drive power is not detected. 

The voltage DC value is also available on object 0x6079 (DC link voltage).

Modes of Operation 

CiA402 defines modes of operation. This allows the user to use the drive in a mode that is most suited to the application.

Switching between modes 

The drive is designed for dynamic switching between modes of operation. The "Modes of operation" and "Modes of operation display" are available in the RxPDO and TxPDO respectively. This allows the user to switch modes of operation without changing the ESM out of Operational. It is recommended the motor is put into a safe known state before switching modes. The master should send PDO data to the current mode of operation and the desired mode while switching modes. This should be continued until the "Modes of operation display" indicates the new mode has been set.

Profile Position Mode 

Profile position mode provides an effective way to run the motor in position mode with very little overhead on the Ethercat master. The EtherCAT master sets the required acceleration, velocity and position before issuing the run command/bit. Single set-point is implemented which means the master can change the target position, speed and acceleration at any point by updating the values and issuing a new run bit. If the drive is required to continuously update position it is recommended that CSP mode is used instead. The Profile mode PDO mapping or the Dynamic Switching of Modes PDO mapping should be selected to effectively run Profile Position mode. See PDO Mappings for more information.

Profile Velocity Mode 

Profile Velocity mode provides an effective way to run the motor in velocity mode with very little overhead on the Ethercat master. The EtherCAT master sets the required acceleration, deceleration and then issues the target velocity. The drive will ramp up to the target velocity.

Homing Mode 

Homing mode can be used to utilize the drives embedded homing routines. These routines allow accurate homing to be achieved without the delays communicating to the controller. The standard Cool Muscle home routines are accessible through the homing modes object. Homing mode does not require any specialized PDO mappings and can be used with any of the standard mappings. See EtherCAT Overview | EtherCATOverview-PDOMappings  for more information.

  1. When homing to a hardstop this value will indicate the limit at which the hardstop is reached

  2. When homing to a switch this value will limit the torque during the home routine.

No

Homing Methods

Two distinct methods are available when executing a home routine.

  1. Hardstop detect - the motor moves towards a hardstop. When the hardstop is reached the driver reads the position of the magnetic encoder. It then moves back 2 teeth of the encoder gear to set the absolute position. Moving back the two teeth allows for high repeatability as fatigue and variance in the hardstop detect can be accounted for automatically.

  2. Sensor detect - the motor moves towards a home sensor. When the sensor is triggered the driver interrupt captures the motor position. The motor decelerates and moves back to the captured position.

    1. If the sensor is detect when the home routine is first initiated the motor will move off the sensor first in the opposite direction to the defined origin search direction. 

Hardstop CW - 0x6098=-1
  1. Motor runs CW towards a hardstop. 

  2. The driver monitors the motor current and detects when a hardstop has been reached. 

  3. Motor backs up CCW to the 2nd previous encoder tooth (improved repeatability) and sets the position to 0.

  4. If an offset is set the motor moves the offset distance

    1. Care should be taken not to set a +ve offset as this will move the load into the hardstop

  5. Sets the final position to 0.

Hardstop CCW - 0x6098=-2
  1. Motor runs CCW towards a hardstop. 

  2. The driver monitors the motor current and detects when a hardstop has been reached. 

  3. Motor backs CW up to the 2nd previous encoder tooth (improved repeatability) and sets the position to 0.

  4. If an offset is set the motor moves the offset distance.

    1. Care should be taken not to set a -ve offset as this will drive the load into the hardstop

  5. Sets the final position to 0.

  • Diagram shown with motor connected to linear actuator.

    • CW rotation moves the load left to right

  • Sensor is connected directly on IN2 or IN3

  1. Motor runs CW waiting for sensor input

  2. Sensor rising edge triggers the input, motor captures encoder position, decelerates and reverses direction

  3. Motor stops on captured position and sets position to 0

  4. If an offset is defined the motor continues to the defined offset and sets the final target position to 0.

    1. Offset could be +ve or -ve. The above diagram shows a -ve offset

Cyclic Synchronous Position Mode 

Cyclic synchronous position mode is set by setting the Modes of operation to 8. CSP mode is designed to allow the master controller full control of the position target. The 0x6064 position target shall be updated every PDO cycle. Failure to update the position target at the defined PDO interval will result in noisy and poor motion.
