How It Works

The Lenze 9400 Module CANBus facilitates communication in a CAN bus network, which connects various automation devices like drives, sensors, and controllers. Here’s how the module functions:

1. Controller to Device Communication: The Lenze 9400 Module CANBus connects a central controller (such as a PLC) to peripheral devices (like motors or sensors) through a CAN bus. The module transmits data between these devices, allowing them to work in unison within the automation system.
2. Data Transfer via CAN Bus: The module enables communication through CAN frames, which are small packets of data containing both control information and the payload data. These frames are sent across the CAN bus, where they are received by other devices on the network.
3. Device Addressing: Each device on the CAN bus network is assigned a unique address. The Lenze 9400 Module CANBus identifies these devices and routes the appropriate data between them, ensuring accurate communication across the network.
4. Communication Protocols: The module supports CANopen or DeviceNet, which define the rules for data exchange and device communication within the CAN network. The module can be configured to use the protocol most suited to the specific application.
5. Error Handling: The CAN bus protocol includes mechanisms for detecting errors, such as frame errors or lost messages. If an error occurs, the system will automatically retry the communication, ensuring that the data is transmitted reliably.
6. Network Expansion: The system can easily scale by adding additional devices to the CAN network. The Lenze 9400 CANBus module supports up to 64 nodes, providing flexibility for larger industrial systems.
