CANopen / CANopen FD Slave

With CANopen, the user organization CAN in Automation (CiA) has created a protocol standard which has widely spread in embedded systems and mechanical engineering. CANopen specifications not only define various services for data exchange, they also specify standardized access to the systems via device profiles and application profiles. Target group CANopen training The target group of the CANopen workshop is development engineers who are looking for detailed knowledge about the communication profile or would like to get an insight in the CANopen / CANopen FD protocol stacks.

The CANopen Bootloader protocol stack provides the complete functionality for integration of a bootloader according to the CANopen standard in your existing devices. Versatile configuration options facilitate individual customization to a target product. The Bootloader was implemented to meet low storage requirements. The CANopen Bootloader stack comprises a reduced object dictionary and supports NMT, SDO (Expedited/Segmented/Block), Emergency, Heartbeat as well as LSS services. Up to four separate sections for storage of programmes and data may be defined. The CANopen Download Tool is used to update programmes and data of the target hardware. A defined API facilitates adjustment to a flash memory of the target hardware. Flash drivers for various controllers (e.g. STM32 series) are part of the CANpie driver.

The CANopen / CANopen FD Master protocol stack offers a variety of configuration options and forms the basis for controlling and monitoring complex CANopen networks. The CANopen Master protocol stack provides the complete functionality for integration of the CANopen standards CiA 301 (FD: CiA 1301), CiA 302 and CiA305 into control systems. Implementation supports the following CANopen services

CANopen has been developed by the members of the international user and producer assosiation CAN in Automation (CiA). The CANopen application layer defines different communication services and protocols (e.g. process and service data) as well as a network management. CANopen is mainly used as an embedded network in machinery, but also as a general industrial communications system. It is based on the international standards ISO 11898-1 (CAN protocol) and ISO 11898-2 (fast physical layer). The CANopen application layer has been standardized by the CENELEC and is defined in the European standard EN 50325-4.
