Basic Principles and Applications of CANopen (Part Five)

Basic Principles and Applications of CANopen (Part Five)

1, NMT Messages CANopen devices have three states: pre-operational, operational, and stopped. By default, after startup, they automatically enter the pre-operational state, during which PDO messages cannot be sent. If PDO messages need to be sent, the device must be manually switched to operational (run) state after startup. The following message can be sent to … Read more

Fundamental Principles and Applications of CANopen (Part 4)

Fundamental Principles and Applications of CANopen (Part 4)

1、 NMT Messages 1.1、NMT Module Control Only the NMT-Master node can send NMT ModuleControl messages. All slave devices must support NMT module control services. The NMT Module Control message does not require a response. The NMT message format is as follows: NMT-Master → NMT Slave When Node-ID=0, all NMT slave devices are addressed. CS is … Read more

Fundamentals and Applications of CANopen (Part 3) – Predefined Connection Set

Fundamentals and Applications of CANopen (Part 3) - Predefined Connection Set

1、CANopenPredefined Connection Set To reduce the configuration workload of simple networks, CANopen defines a mandatory default identifier (CAN-ID) allocation table. These identifiers are available in the pre-operational state and can be modified through dynamic allocation. CANopen devices must provide the corresponding identifiers for the communication objects they support. The defaultID allocation table is based on … 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 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
