New Original Lenze EMF2178IB CANopen Communication Bus Module

1. Product Overview

EMF2178IB is an original plug-in fieldbus communication module designed by Lenze, developed for the Automation Interface (AIF) of Lenze drive systems. It implements standard CANopen communication profile compliant with CiA DS301, enabling connection between Lenze inverters/servo drives and CANopen master controllers.

This module directly plugs onto 8200 Vector frequency inverters, 9300 servo series, ECS servo systems and Drive PLC units. It supports cyclic process data exchange, acyclic parameter access and network diagnostic functions. Front-mounted DIP switches allow quick setting of CAN node address and communication baud rate without software configuration. Widely adopted in packaging machinery, textile equipment, automated conveyor lines and material handling systems for distributed multi-axis motion control. The module delivers stable bus communication under industrial electromagnetic interference environments and supports flexible network topology construction for automation equipment.

2. Main Functions

  1. CANopen Fieldbus Protocol Communication Realizes data interaction between Lenze drives and CANopen master PLCs. It supports Process Data Objects (PDO) for real-time speed, torque and status transmission, and Service Data Objects (SDO) for parameter reading and modification.
  2. On-site Quick Network Configuration Built-in DIP switches on the front panel adjust CAN node address (maximum 127 nodes) and communication baud rate, facilitating fast commissioning during equipment assembly.
  3. Complete Network Diagnosis & Monitoring Equipped with status indicator LEDs to display bus running state, communication faults and module operation status. It supports emergency telegrams, heartbeat monitoring and NMT network management for fault detection.
  4. Seamless Compatibility with Classic Lenze Drives Standard AIF plug-in structure matches 8200 Vector inverters, 9300 servo controllers and ECS motion systems, allowing flexible bus upgrade of existing drive units.
  5. Multi-node Distributed Network Construction Supports multi-drive connection on one CANopen bus. It can build distributed control networks to realize synchronous coordination of multiple motors for automated production equipment.
  6. Stable Industrial Anti-interference Performance Optimized circuit design enhances resistance to voltage fluctuation and electromagnetic noise, suitable for workshop environments with motors, contactors and frequency converters.
  7. Support for Standard CANopen Mechanisms Implements boot-up message, inhibit timer, event timer and bus-off handling functions, meeting standardized industrial motion control requirements.
