Can SDO and PDO Be Used Simultaneously in CANopen?

Can SDO and PDO Be Used Simultaneously in CANopen?

In the CANopen device model, the primary communication objects are PDO and SDO. So, can they be used simultaneously in a CANopen device? Of course, SDO (Service Data Object) and PDO (Process Data Object) can be used simultaneously. In fact, they serve different purposes in the CANopen network and are often used together to optimize … Read more

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

This series mainly covers the basic content of the CANopen protocol, including the object dictionary, services, SDO, PDO, and master/slave nodes. For CANopen software and hardware … 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

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

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
