Why Choose the IMO HD1-E-COP CANopen Communication Card?

The IMO HD1-E-COP is a dedicated CANopen communication option card designed for use with IMO HD1 series variable speed drives. It enables HD1 inverters to communicate with industrial automation systems using the reliable and widely adopted CANopen fieldbus protocol.

Developed for machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers, the HD1-E-COP allows HD1 drives to be integrated into distributed control networks for efficient monitoring, parameter access and drive control. This makes it ideal for applications where multiple devices need to communicate reliably across a common industrial network.

The HD1-E-COP provides a compact internal option-card solution for adding CANopen capability to compatible IMO HD1 inverters. By using networked communication rather than conventional hardwired control alone, it helps simplify system design, improve diagnostics and support flexible automation architectures.

CANopen Communication for HD1 Drives

The HD1-E-COP expands the functionality of IMO HD1 variable speed drives by enabling communication across CANopen automation networks. This allows operating commands, drive status information, parameter values and diagnostic data to be exchanged between the inverter and higher-level control equipment.

CANopen is commonly used in machine automation, motion control, material handling and distributed industrial systems. By adding the HD1-E-COP option card, HD1 drives can become fully integrated network devices within modern control architectures, improving flexibility and reducing reliance on separate point-to-point wiring.

Typical Applications

• PLC-controlled machinery.
• Distributed automation systems.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• OEM machine building projects.
• Industrial drive networks.
• Manufacturing and production line control.
• Motion and process automation systems.
