Copley Motion Libraries - CML
The Copley Motion Library (CML) is a C++ object-oriented software library for EtherCAT and CANopen fieldbus protocols. Customers can use the software and integrate it with their existing C++ based control software. In that way, the customer only has one PC in the machine which handles the regular control tasks, but also the motion control tasks, by communicating with distributed servodrives using CANopen or EtherCAT. This avoids the need for an additional EtherCAT or CANopen Master. This reduces cost and is one less device to manage. Also, the customer is not dependent on third-party vendors and can change the source code to support his own customers quickly and reliably.
CML runs on both LINUX and Windows operating systems, and allows low-level access to the CANopen and EtherCAT networks. It also provides high-level methods for easy development of network based motion control applications. Features include PVT, point-to-point moves, PDO, file transfers, and error handling. Please download the CML datasheet on the right-hand side, for further information. Alternatively, please contact us to discuss your needs.
The following videos show examples of how to use the CML C++ software libraries.
