The CANopen Master Software provides all required functions to control and manage a CANopen network. The CANopen Master Software realises the initialisation, the monitoring, the controlling and the synchronisation of a CANopen network.

The Visual CANopen is used for the configuration of the slaves in a CANopen network and due to the intuitive GUI the configuration much more easier than it was before. The user has a graphical interface for each node in the CANopen network where the user can configure the slave by using predefined masks.
