3.1 Intended use
The fieldbus module PNOZ mc6p/mc6.1p is an expansion module of the configurable con-
trol system PNOZmulti. It is used for communication between the configurable control sys-
tem PNOZmulti and CANopen.
CANopen is designed for fast data exchange at field level. The expansion module PNOZ
mc6p/mc6.1p is a passive CANopen subscriber (Slave). The basic communication func-
tions with CANopen conform to the guidelines of the CANopen User Group (CiA, for sup-
ported protocols see Technical Details). The central controller (master) reads input informa-
tion from the slaves and writes output information to the slaves as part of each cycle. As
well as the cyclical transfer of usable data, the expansion module PNOZ mc6p/mc6.1p can
also be used for diagnostic and commissioning functions. Data traffic is monitored on the
Master/Slave side.
The expansion module may only be connected to a base unit from the PNOZmulti system
(please refer to the document "PNOZmulti System Expansion" for details of the base units
that can be connected).
The configurable small control systems PNOZmulti are used for the safety-related interrup-
tion of safety circuits and are designed for use in:
}E-STOP equipment
}Safety circuits in accordance with VDE0113 Part 1 and EN60204-1
The expansion module may not be used for safety-related functions.
The following is deemed improper use in particular:
}Any component, technical or electrical modification to the product
}Use of the product outside the areas described in this manual
}Use of the product outside the technical details (see Technical details [ 21]).
