CANopen Motion Controllers
CANopen motion controllers are multi-axis controllers that manage servo drives simultaneously over a CANopen network; they are chosen according to the number of axes, synchronization time, digital input-output structure and the CANopen support of the drives. They are used to run the coordinated motion of axes from a single program on packaging, conveying and positioning machines that use servo drives with a CANopen interface. The category includes Delta Electronics DVP15MC11T and DVP15MC11T-06 models; the product data states the number of axes as 24 and 6, and the input-output structure as 16 digital inputs and 8 NPN-type digital outputs. The expression 2 ms for 4 axes in the product names indicates the synchronization time; check the manufacturer data for the time that applies with more axes. EtherCAT and CANopen are different networks; a servo drive that has only an EtherCAT port cannot be connected to the CANopen motion network of these controllers, and a CANopen model is not a substitute for an EtherCAT controller.

How to choose CANopen Motion Controllers
CANopen motion controllers are multi-axis controllers that manage servo drives simultaneously over a CANopen network; they are chosen according to the number of axes, synchronization time, digital input-output structure and the CANopen support of the drives. They are used to run the coordinated motion of axes from a single program on packaging, conveying and positioning machines that use servo drives with a CANopen interface.
- Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
- Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
- Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
Frequently asked questions
What is CANopen Motion Controllers and where is it used?
CANopen motion controllers are multi-axis controllers that manage servo drives simultaneously over a CANopen network; they are chosen according to the number of axes, synchronization time, digital input-output structure and the CANopen support of the drives. They are used to run the coordinated motion of axes from a single program on packaging, conveying and positioning machines that use servo drives with a CANopen interface.
What should I compare when choosing CANopen Motion Controllers?
The expression 2 ms for 4 axes in the product names indicates the synchronization time; check the manufacturer data for the time that applies with more axes.
Where can I find technical details for CANopen Motion Controllers products?
EtherCAT and CANopen are different networks; a servo drive that has only an EtherCAT port cannot be connected to the CANopen motion network of these controllers, and a CANopen model is not a substitute for an EtherCAT controller.
