Batch parameterization of CAN servo drives by using motion controller based on a single-board computer

When upgrading a high-performance CNC, the development of a mechanism for autonomous parameterization of servo drives is an important step. Advanced CNC system must support multi-protocol control and provide the ability to configure different equipment. Modern servo drives have a built-in configuration tools that are designed for devices from the same manufacturer and cannot be used in a heterogeneous environment.

This article describes an approach to developing and using a motion controller to control and configure CAN equipment from different manufacturers based on a single board computer. Program solution for parameterization different CAN servo drives is demonstrated, the results of the autonomous parameterization are also analyzed.

Keywords: automation, parameterization, CAN servo drives, motion controller, ARM microcomputer, CAN industrial protocol.
