I am migrating an existing IFM system from CR0020 + CODESYS 2.3 to CR710S + CODESYS 3.5.
The existing CANopen I/O modules are:
CR9011
CR2042
CR2011
My questions are:
Can these legacy IFM CANopen modules be used as slaves with the CR710S CANopen Master?
Can their existing EDS files be imported directly into CODESYS 3.5?
Are there any known compatibility issues with the old IFM EDS files, PDO mapping, or startup SDO configuration?
Has anyone successfully used these modules with a CR710S? If so, could you share the recommended configuration procedure?
The goal is to replace the CR0020 with a CR710S while keeping the existing CANopen I/O modules
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, you can use the .eds files also in CODESYS 3. Install them through the menu Tools - Device Repository. Then you can add the CANopen devices to your CANopen manager in your device configuration.

I don't work for IFM, nor for CODESYS and didn't create the .eds file or developed the CAN protocol. I have no knowledge of the exact contents and SDO's or PDO's which are exchanged. So no, I am not sure. But if the .eds file confirms to the CANopen specifications, why shouldn't it?

Thanks,You sure there are not compatibility issues with the old IFM EDS files, PDO mapping, or startup SDO configuration in CODESYS 3.5?
