Missing/shifted Data from node slave device

Ixxat Support CAN/CANOpen PLC Extensions
#1

Hello,

I am using a siemens S7 1200 PLC with the CM can open module as a master CAN Open manager.

I have two slave devices in the form of a 8400 Stateline C safety lenze drive and a 8400 Topline C safety lenze servo drive.

Module is node ID 127 stateline is 101 and topline is 102.

I am trying to send 32 bytes of data and receive 32 bytes of data via the process image.

Initially i was unable to get my can module out of a heartbeat/nodeguarding error(double led flash on err light)

I then tried to set the modules hardware config to auto configuration (tia portal 16). This solved my problem and the communications then started to work which was great.

However i then noticed that for the second node 102 I was missing some data and the data i was receiving was in an unexpected location.

In my plc i have a process image in data area that is an array of 0…31 bytes.

from the drives i am sending 2 can open ports named LP_Canout1 and LP_Canout2 both of these represent 4 words of data each so 16 bytes from the drive.

I am receiving this fine from drive node 101 and it can be see in my array on bytes 0…15 no problem.

However the next 8 bytes which i would expect to have the first 4 words from LP_Canout1 are blank with no data and are instead mapped to bytes 24…31 and i am missing the data from LP_Canout2 from drive node 102.

Drive node 101 (Working OK)
LP_Canout1 : 4 words or 8 bytes mapped through to PLC on bytes 0…7
LP_Canout2 : 4 words or 8 bytes mapped through to PLC on bytes 8…15

Drive node 102
LP_Canout1 : 4 words or 8 bytes mapped through to PLC on bytes 16…23 (No data on here)
LP_Canout2 : 4 words or 8 bytes mapped through to PLC on bytes 24…31 (Data from LP_Canout1)

The LP_Canout1/2 ae function blocks used in the lenze drives that are inserted into an FB editor so you can map data to them there. I hope i have explained all this with some level of clarity.

I suspect the module may be using some default PDO setting when i set it to autoconfigure and maybe this is causing me the problem but them I am not sure why it is ok for the first drive and not the second drive. I am quite new to all this can open stuff so its all still a bit confusing. Any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated.

First, it sounds like you are not converting words to bytes correctly so I’m a little confused about how much data you are expecting to receive from each drive. One word is 2 bytes or 16 bits.

Maybe you are only reading drive node 101’s data and drive node 102’s data is in the next registers? Can you clarify the data sizes?

Sorry kyle that is a mistake from me I am sending in total 8 words from both drives to the plc.

So this is a total of 16 bytes per drive.

So to confirm It is 32bytes in and 32bytes out

16 in and 16 out per drive.

I have an array of 32 bytes to read into the plc so i can view this array online to see if i have data in those bytes.

The above is an image of the block use in the lenze fb editor to send data out from the drive.

I have 2 of these for each drive.

The above image is the receive block i am using in lenze fb editor i have 2 of these for each drive also.

here is what i am using in my PLC to view the data recieved from both drives (32 bytes).

As you can see where i have highlighted, this is where i would expect to have the data begin for the drive node 102 but instead it comes in on the second PDO instead of the first.

I have the module set to auto configure im not sure exactly what this means in terms of the pdo setup of the slave nodes.

Happy to provide any further information if needed.

We would need much more information to be able to understand what’s going on here. Can you please create a case at https://hms-support.zendesk.com/ and send the EDS files for the Lenze drives and manuals if possible, as well as the complete CM CANopen configuration studio project (copprj file and complete XPR folder).

Hi @PLCpeon,

Were you able to create a case? You can open a case here.
