Introduction to CANopen Protocol

Introduction to CANopen Protocol

1、CANopen in the ISO Layer Structure From the perspective of the OSI 7-layer network model, the CAN (Controller Area Network) fieldbus only defines the 1st layer (Physical Layer, see ISO11898-2 standard) and the 2nd layer (Data Link Layer, see ISO11898-1 standard); in actual design, these two layers are entirely implemented by hardware, and designers do … Read more

Understanding CANopen SDO Transmission

Understanding CANopen SDO Transmission

SDO (Service Data Object) is a type of message in the CANopen protocol used for reading and writing data over a CAN network. SDO is used to transmit data that is not time-sensitive, such as configuration information that only needs to be set once during initialization. There are several types of SDO transmissions: SDO Download … Read more

Analysis of CANopen PDO

Analysis of CANopen PDO

PDO stands for Process Data Object, primarily used for transmitting real-time data. PDO is divided into Receive PDO and Send PDO, where the reference objects for “Receive” and “Send” are the slave devices. The Receive PDO refers to the data received by the slave from the master, such as control words and target positions; the … Read more

Getting Started with CANopen: Part Two

Getting Started with CANopen: Part Two

1、CANopen‘s Predefined MessageID Classification: At the inception of CANopen, even in the automotive electronics industry where CAN bus is most widely used, the number of CAN nodes in the network and the amount of information needing communication were relatively low. People adopted CAN to replace RS485, primarily valuing its real-time advantage of burst transmission, while … Read more

Analyzing and Implementing CANopen Protocol (Part 1)

Analyzing and Implementing CANopen Protocol (Part 1)

CANopen protocol is a high-level protocol based on CAN serial bus system and application layer CAL, and it is also a standardized protocol for various industries. CANopen protocol provides necessary implementation methods for distributed control and embedded system applications, mainly providing: (1) interoperability and interchangeability between different CAN devices. (2) Standardized and unified system communication … Read more

Easy Introduction to CANopen Part Five

1、Process Data ObjectPDO(Process Data Object) As mentioned earlier PDO belongs to process data used to transmit real-time data, that is, one-way transmission without the need for a response from the receiving nodeCAN message to confirm, from a communication terminology perspective, it belongs to the “producer-consumer” model PDO, as shown in the figure, it is like … Read more

Getting Started with CANopen – Part Three

Getting Started with CANopen - Part Three

1、Process Data Object (PDO) and Service Data Object (SDO) MessageID. When using CANopen, the configuration information and application data that need to be transmitted are placed in the Process Data Object PDO (Process Data Object) and Service Data Object SDO (Service Data Object). These objects are like baskets of fruit sold in the market; they … Read more
