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 compatible HD1 inverters to communicate with PLCs, controllers and industrial automation systems using the widely used CANopen fieldbus protocol.
This compact communication card helps expand the functionality of IMO HD1 drives by providing networked control, monitoring, parameter access and diagnostic capability. By using CANopen communication, machine builders and system integrators can reduce hardwired control complexity and create more flexible automation architectures.
Designed specifically for the IMO HD1 inverter range, the HD1-E-COP provides a practical plug-in solution for distributed drive control in industrial machinery, production equipment and automation panels. It is ideal for applications where reliable fieldbus communication and centralised drive supervision are required.

CANopen Communication for IMO HD1 Drives
The IMO HD1-E-COP expands HD1 inverter functionality by allowing drive data to be exchanged across CANopen automation networks. This enables operating commands, status information, parameter values and diagnostic feedback to be communicated between the inverter and higher-level control equipment.
CANopen is commonly used in machine automation, motion control, material handling and distributed industrial control systems. By adding the HD1-E-COP option card, IMO HD1 drives can be integrated into networked machine architectures for improved control flexibility and simplified system design.
Typical Applications
CANopen-based machine automation systems.
PLC-controlled variable speed drive networks.
Industrial production machinery.
Conveyor and material handling systems.
Distributed control systems.
OEM machine building projects.
Automation panels using IMO HD1 inverters.
