Description

This Schneider Electric Altivar CANopen daisy chain communication module has 2 ports with RJ45 connectors. It complies with CANopen Daisy Chain communications protocol. This communication module enables integration of your drive in your CANopen daisy chain process control network. It is simple to install and remove from Altivar drives thanks to its modular withdrawable design. It is compatible with Altivar Process ATV600 (ATV630, ATV650)Altivar Process ATV900 (ATV930, ATV950), Altivar Machine ATV320, Lexium 32, Altivar 32, and Altivar Machine ATV340. Removable module allows last minute decisions on drive communication protocol, facilitates installation project management.

Features

Built with two integrated RJ45 hardware ports, this module supports direct drive-to-drive loop wiring configurations. This daisy-chain architecture allows automation engineers to optimize field bus layout, reducing Ethernet/CAN network switch port consumption and cutting field cabling costs across extensive multi-axis machine layouts.
Offering full embedded compatibility with CANopen and CANmotion architectures, this module ensures reliable, real-time deterministic feedback data exchange. It enables precise torque, velocity, and positioning synchronization directly from the master PLC, minimizing process control loop latency in demanding packaging, material handling, and automated assembly operations.
Featuring a compact, plug-in design, this communication module fits securely into the dedicated expansion slot of your Schneider variable speed drive or servo amplifier. This tool-free mounting design accelerates field commissioning timelines and allows systems integrators to adapt or upgrade physical fieldbus protocols at the absolute last minute without swapping the underlying drive core hardware.
Certified under Schneider Electric's Green Premium environmental program and meeting global RoHS/REACh criteria, this communication option ensures low-impact operations and complete chemical transparency. It allows corporate manufacturing facilities to pass sustainability audits easily while ensuring high material safety standards across complex lifecycle management steps.
