iMod in complex CANopen networks

The NPE/iMod telemetric module is perfect for use in CANopen networks – you just need to connect the external GW-7433D module included in the a2s.pl catalog offer. This protocol is very often used in the machine operating and automation systems. Its unquestionable advantages are easy installation and advance mechanisms for network error detection.

Communication between the NPE/iMod industrial computer and the GW-7433D converter is carried out via the Modbus RTU protocol. The converter enables a quick connection of slaves to CANopen and masters to Modbus. This is why you can connect a lot of devices to a network, you can control and monitor the devices and you can archive data from the devices with the NPE/iMod unit.

This protocol is used in many installations and places such as:

  • vehicles (cars, trains, ships, planes),
  • medical installations,
  • information systems,
  • production lines,
  • heating and air conditioning systems,
  • elevators,
  • motor control.

The data received from CANopen are sent to the NPE/iMod industrial computer. Thanks to the built-in functionalities, the computer can transmit information to network users via the Internet, GPRS or via SMS text messaging. In addition the NPE/iMod can perform functions of a controller – the user has a total control of the devices connected to the GW-7433D converter via the CANopen bus.

The devices can be controlled and monitored also via a web browser – with the built-in NXDynamics interface or with any HMI panel, e.g., TPD-280, directly connected to the NPE/iMod.
