Simplified HMI with CANopen

June 1, 2011
Adding to the vendor’s range of motion control products, the KPD202-501 is a compact, IP65-rated operator panel with a CANopen interface.

Designed to provide machine builders with a cost-effective means of implementing simple human-machine interfaces, the KPD202-501 operator panel features a backlit 4-line x 20-character LCD surrounded by six programmable function keys. A further 15 keys are provided for the input of numeric values, together with four pairs of keys that can be used for functions such as jogging individual machine axes. The KPD202-501 can be programmed direct from the motion controller to which it is connected using the vendor’s Mint programming language. In addition to the standard CANopen port and user-selectable RS232/485 serial port, an optional plug-in I/O expansion module provides four optically-isolated digital inputs and four optically-isolated digital outputs.
