The CANopen Slave Source Code contains all CANopen services required for implementing a slave. It thus offers the user the communication functionality required for internal device development.

Features and advantages

Significant time savings can be achieved during product development by using the CANopen source code. The user can concentrate on the integration of the application; the implementation of the CANopen protocol is simplified significantly. The code corresponds to the most recent version of the CANopen CiA 301 communication profile enabling a secure and CANopen-conforming implementation of the project.
To simplify connection of internal application data to the object directory, there are exemplary entries already in the object directory. Using these specifications, it is easy to create your own entries.

Functions

The CANopen source code offers the following functions/properties:

• SDO Server
• PDO /SYNC Handling
• NMT Slave
• Simple adjustment to various requirements
• Broad spectrum of supported hardware platforms
• Source code configuration and automatic generation of the object directory via CANerator CANopen

For special application areas there are expansion modules available for the Slave Source Code, which can be ordered separately:

• Mini-Master
• LSS

Availability

The source code is available for a highly diverse range of processors and CAN controllers.
