This manual covers all Ethernet functionality of the CM1-T. For CML programming see the CM1-C User Guide. |
Introduction
The CM1-T is an Ethernet based Cool Muscle. It offers all the functionality of the standard Cool Muscle but enables connections over TCP/IP, UDP and , Modbus-TCP and EtherNet/IP. This variant of the Cool Muscle cannot be daisy chained.
The following terminology is important to understand how to understand this document and how to operate the motor.
In additional to the standard CML programming other modes of operation have been implemented which gives the application direct access the motion routines. See Modes Of Operation for additional details. This chapter focuses on the standard operation of the motor using CML.
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Protocols | The protocols are the different Ethernet languages the user can implement to communicate to the controls methods. They are
|
| Control method | The control method indicates how the motor controller is communicated with, updated and controlled. Control methods are
|
| Mode of operation | The mode of operation is how the motor controller operates in Direct Control. This is how the motor's motion controller generates a set of outputs to the motor driver. These are typically
|
| TCP/UDP | This refers to any port or protocol that can be connected using TCP/IP and/or UDP. |
The following diagram shows how the protocols break down to the different modes of operation

Connections and Port
...
Any TCP/IP enabled client device can connect and communicate with the CM1-T. Additional connection information can be found in Network Configuration but in general:
- Connect on port 10001 for CML communication.
- Send and receive ASCII strings within the data packet.
- Modbus-TCP can be connected on port 502. This gives modbus access to all the motor's registers.
The table below lists the ports and protocols they are associated with
| Protocol | Port # | # TCP | # UDP | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CML | 10001 | 1 | 1 | Protocol used by the standard motor. Program the motor to run from IO, etc. |
| Direct Control Port | 10002 | 1 | 1 | Directly control the motor in a number of modes such as position, speed and torque |
| Modbus-TCP | 502 | 1 | 0 | Modbus access to all motor registers including CML and Direct Control. |
| Motor Information Port | 30718 | 0 | 1 |
|
| EtherNet/IP | 44818 2222 | 2 0 | 1 | EtherNet/IP CIP EtherNet/IP IO |
Additional connection information can be found in Network Configuration.
General Usage and Operation
CML Programming
Refer to the RT3 Programming Manual for CM1-C User Guide for details on using CML. You will find information on the following in this manual:
...
- Executing motion on another motor
- I.e Program and logic banks can only reference motor ID 1.
- Reading input and setting outputs on another motor
- Coordinated motion with another motor
Modbus-TCP
Modbus-TCP reads and writes to all motor registers.
- CML Control - Typical usage would be executing logic and program banks with Modbus registers reading and/or writing to get motor information as well as intervening in operation as required.
- Direct Control - A set of registers can run the motor directly (see Direct Control).
EtherNet/IP
See the EtherNet/IP section of this document for details on using the CM1-T with EtherNet/IP
Connecting in Control Room
Control Room is the Cool Muscle Windows application to program the motors. It is typically not used for run-time operation but this can depend on the user's requirements. Control Room can open up a connection in either standard CML mode or by Modbus-TCP. Two instances of Control Room can be opened if the user needs to use Modbus-TCP and CML simultaneously.
Note: You cannot program in CML mode if the connection is opened in Modbus Mode and you cannot use the Modbus Window if the connection is opened not in Modbus Mode.
To connect to a motor use the TCP/IP options, Connect to IP and Enable Modbus Mode functions on the Connection tab as shown below.

Search Button
- If any motors are available they will be displayed by IP with their MAC address
Connect to IP Button
- Once the correct motor is selected in the IP Address drop down list click the Connect to IP button to connect to the motor
Enable Modbus Mode Checkbox
- If the motor is set to modbus check the Enable Modbus Mode before opening the connection. This will allow the Control Room modbus window to operate.
Note: The Web Configuration is not available on the CM1-T. Use the Network Configuration Tool to setup network related parameters.
