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
