An Overview of CANopen SDO

An Overview of CANopen SDO

SDO is primarily used for reading and writing parameters of slave devices by the CANopen master. The most significant feature of SDO is the service confirmation, which produces a response for each message, ensuring the accuracy of data transmission. SDO communication is based on the client-server model, with the CANopen master node typically acting as … Read more

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

Important Considerations for Implementing CANopen Bus

Important Considerations for Implementing CANopen Bus

CANopen is a high-level protocol based on CAN, which is widely used in various automation control systems. CANopen networks use twisted pair cables to transmit differential signals, but factors such as poor electromagnetic environment, non-standard wiring, and unreliable grounding in domestic industrial sites can directly affect communication quality and interfere with bus operation. To ensure … Read more
