Building Industrial IoT with CANopen Protocol

Building Industrial IoT with CANopen Protocol

CANopen IoT is suitable for networks that do not support embedded internet protocols, allowing access to local and remote CANopen networks through network protocols and communication services. In many applications, specially designed mobile or tablet applications allow users to remotely control and maintain air conditioning and heating systems from anywhere. These applications also enable status … Read more

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

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
