CN2008 SE

CODE CN1.4

CN2008 SE is a medium-sized +24 Vdc numerical control, with internal PC/104 bus and Windows CE 6.0 operating system, complete with DIN rail (Omega rails) to install it in an electrical enclosure or to be wall-mounted.

It works in connection to a supervisory PC via a dedicated Ethernet network; you can place the CNC in an electrical enclosure, connected to a supervisor PC where – in addition to the machine user interface – you can also install more complex software, like CAD-CAM, optimizers, or 3D simulators. The CN2008 SE system is suited for medium-sized machines that control up to roughly 16 axes and 16 remote I/O couplers. It is possible to connect more than one CN2008 SE to the same supervisory unit; this can provide a modular control system, particularly apt for a machine line or a large, complex working centre.

Albatros is the automation development and debugging environment (minimum v 3.0), installed in the development PC together with the user interface software.

General Features

Medium-sized numerical control, expandable with PC/104 boards;
CE certification conform to EMC standards.

EtherCAT function

code CN1.4.03

The EtherCAT function is carried out through Tpa implementation of the EtherCAT fieldbus master;
the implemented application protocol is the official standard CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT);
the EtherCAT bus uses a standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet cable (Cat 5e or higher), that allows for a distance between devices of up to 100 m;
transmission cycle time: 2 ms until 32 nodes (I/O and/or drives);
the drive parameters can be written and read;
communication and drive diagnostics in real time.

MECHATROLINK-II function

code CN1.4.01

The MECHATROLINK-II bus consists of a half-duplex serial communication at 10 Mbit/s through a single twisted pair, shielded and terminated, with impedance as provided for in MECHATROLINK-II specifications;
the implemented protocol is the official drive standard MECHATROLINK-II;
options on cycle time (real-time): 1 ms, or 2 ms with more than 8 axes;
the drive parameters can be sent or read;
communication and drive diagnostics in real time.

CAN bus 2.0b function

Configurable cycle time: up to 4 ms;
64 nodes max, total max of 128 RPDOs and 128 TPDOs;
synchronous and asynchronous PDO configuration;
possibility to access node parameters through SDO readings and writings;
master-enabled protocols (BOOTUP, SYNC, PDO, RECOVER and NODEGUARDING);
configurable baud rate (100, 125, 250, 500, 1000).

GreenBUS function

code CN1.4.05

The GreenBUS bus consists of a full-duplex isochronous serial communication at 4 Mbit/s through a single twisted pair, shielded and terminated;
the GreenBUS line also powers the remote TRS modules;
compliant to the electrical standard TIA/EIA RS-422;
1 ms cycle time. Using multiplexer mechanisms, it is possible to synchronize nodes with a 1, 2, or 4 ms real-time;
real-time node communication diagnostics.
