EtherNet/IP - CM1-T connected to Schneider M241 Series PLC using EtherNet/IP
This demonstration and example video shows how to connect a CM1-T Cool Muscle motor to a Schneider PLC over EtherNet/IP. The video further demonstrates using the CM1-T library to control and monitor the motor with standard PLCopen (MC) function blocks. The demonstration walks you through the following steps:
- Starting a Machine Expert project
- Adding the CM1-T EtherNet/IP device to the Device Repository
- Adding the CM1-T IEC 61131-3 PLCopen Motion Control library to the Library Repository
- Adding the Industrial Ethernet Manager Device which in this instance acts as the EtherNet/IP scanner
- Adding an EtherNet/IP Remote Adapter (CM1-T)
- Mapping the adapter remote IO to the CM1-T library instance
- Calling multiple library functions to run and control the CM1-T through visualizations.

Modbus TCP - CM1-T connected to Schneider M241 Series PLC using Modbus TCP
This demonstration and example video shows how to connect a CM1-T Cool Muscle motor to a Schneider PLC using Modbus TCP. The video further demonstrates using the CM1-T library to control and monitor the motor with standard PLCopen (MC) function blocks. The demonstration walks you through the following steps
- Starting a Machine Expert project
- Adding the CM1-T IEC 61131-3 PLCopen Motion Control library to the Library Repository
- Adding the Industrial Ethernet Manager Device which in this instance acts as the Modbus TCP Master
- Adding a Generic Modbus TCP Slave to connect to the CM1-T as a Modbus Slave
- Creating and setting up the Modbus channels with Read/Write Multiple Registers (Function Code 23)
- Mapping the Modbus channel data to the CM1-T variable instance
- Calling multiple library functions to run and control the CM1-T through visualizations.

Modbus TCP - CM1-T connected to BRX PLC using Modbus TCP
This demonstration and example video shows how to connect a CM1-T Cool Muscle motor to a BRX PLC over Modbus-TCP using the Do-more! Designer development environment. The video demonstrates using the CM1-T Modbus user profile and the supplied subroutine to simplify development and control of the CM1-T. The demonstration walks you through the following steps
- Saving the Modbus TCP user profile for use in all Do-more! Designer projects
- Importing an existing project to copy the CM1-T subroutine
- Adding a Modbus TCP module. In this case the CM1-T integrated Cool Muscle motor.
- Adding and calling a subroutine in Do-more! Designer including passing parameters in and out of the subroutine.
- Creating logic to power and run the CM1-T integrated Cool Muscle motor
- Running a simulation to validate and test the developed logic

IDEC FL1F Smart Relay - WindLGC
(Siemens LOGO! PLC - LOGO!)
Modbus TCP - CM1-T connected to FL1F using Modbus TCP
The IDEC FL1F smart relay can be setup as a Modbus TCP Client (master). The Smart Relay is able to control the motor by directly writing to motion registers. The attached example sets the following
- I1 - start
- I2 - Reset from error state (over torque, etc)
- I3 + I4 - input combination executes any of 4 absolute position moves
- Display Output
- Position (16bit as per PLC restrictions)
- Speed
- Torque
- Motor Status
The FL1F can be setup to execute the motor using position, velocity or torque modes.
