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.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..

The following terminology is important to understand how to understand this document and how to operate the motor.

TermDescription
Protocols

The protocols are the different Ethernet languages the user can implement to communicate to the controls methods. They are

  • TCP/IP and UDP
  • Modbus-TCP
  • EtherNet/IP
Control method

The control method indicates how the motor controller is communicated with, updated and controlled. Control methods are

  • CML- the motor runs logic and program banks
  • Direct Control - the motor receives position, speed, acceleration/deceleration and torque values to dynamically move between targets
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

  • CML mode - traditional operation of the motor
  • Profile mode - operate the motor by in position and/or speed control
  • Torque mode - operate the motor by limiting torque and speed.



The following diagram shows how the protocols break down to the different modes of operation
