In the previous article, we introduced the basic knowledge and core concepts of the CANopen protocol. In this article, we will continue to explain the fundamentals of CANopen communication. 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
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
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
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
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
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

Click on the above“Motion Control Assistant”, stay updated with new developments! “ Friends, we are back. In the last issue, we briefly introduced some features of EtherCAT. This time, we will provide a more detailed introduction to the implementation of EtherCAT, the significance of the communication cycle, and concepts such as SDO and PDO. First, … Read more
This video tutorial is highly practical, covering a lot of content, especially the PDO synchronization cycle and the non-periodic synchronization techniques that need to be thoroughly understood. Additionally, the H7-TOOL’s CANopen parsing feature has added split-window displays for NMT, PDO, SDO, emergency messages, etc., making it convenient for message classification when networking multiple devices.
