CANopen is an application layer protocol based on the CAN bus. Porting it to the target platform generally requires the following steps: 1.Hardware Preparation ◦Ensure that the target microcontroller or microprocessor has a CAN controller. If there is no built-in CAN controller, an external CAN controller chip (such as SJA1000, etc.) may be required, and … Read more
Abstract CANopen is a high-level communication protocol built on the Controller Area Network (CAN), where the object dictionary is the core concept of the protocol. Mastering its related content thoroughly will allow you to use CANopen with ease and confidence. The CANopen object dictionary (OD: Object Dictionary) is the core concept of the CANopen protocol. … Read more
In the previous article, we briefly introduced the CANopen framework and the seven types of CANopen services. In this article, we will elaborate on the Object Dictionary, SDO, and PDO of CANopen. This series of articles mainly introduces the CANopen protocol, covering topics such as the Object Dictionary, services, SDO, PDO, and master/slave nodes. For … Read more
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
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
OD (Object Dictionary): This is an ordered, predefined group of objects that can be accessed via the network, with each object addressed by a 16-bit index and an 8-bit sub-index. The range of a node’s object dictionary is from 0X1000 to 0X9FFF. COB-ID (Communication Object Identifier): This is the message frame ID of the CANopen … Read more
