MICROCONTROL GMBH & CO. KG - SYSTEMHAUS FÜR AUTOMATISIERUNG

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

The CANopen / CANopen FD Slave protocol stack has been optimized for low resource requirements and is, thus, well suited for intelligent sensors and actuators. The protocol stack offers the complete functionality for integration of the CANopen standards CiA 301 (FD: CiA 1301) and CiA 305 into your devices. The following CANopen services are supported

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 J1939 protocol stack offers the complete functionality for integration of the SAE J1939 standard into your devices. Versatile configuration options facilitate individual customization to a target product. Example codes facilitate the startup phase, enabling the user to focus on the implementation of their own application. The open CAN driver (CANpie) provides the flexibility to use any CAN controller available on the market. The bridge function to the CANopen Slave protocol stack facilitates realization of devices with multi protocol capability. In addition, less development time is needed for the implementation of parameters as these are addressed by all protocols in the same way.

The CAN driver CANpie FD (Controller Area Network Programming Interface Environment) is an open interface for the development of CAN-based applications. The CAN driver forms the basis for higher layer protocols (CANopen / J1939) and may be used for manufacturer-specific CAN communication between embedded systems. CANpie FD is avaliable for a wide range of microcontrollers (more than 160 at the moment). A variety of configuration options facilitates adjustment to individual target systems. The CAN physical layer (data link layer) comprises two protocols: the classical CAN standard and CAN FD. The protocols are described in the ISO 11898-1:2015 specification. The CANpie FD API defines 19 functions to allow manufacturer independend access to the CAN controller to entirely support ISO specifications. The API is based on the concept of dedicated message buffers (mailboxes) in combination with acceptance masks to minimize the application

MicroControl now offers a software package with versatile additional benefits – the new CANpie FD Server. All kinds of system conditions can be simulated before the final set-up of the system and cost-intensive “surprises” are avoided. The CANpie FD Server opens new dimensions. This feature is included in the software package without any additional costs.

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a network concept that has been developed for the automotive industry originally. Today, CAN is especially used in networking industrial control systems, sensors and actuators based on the field bus technology. In our CAN-bus training you will learn about the physical properties of a CAN-bus system as well as protocol structure. The participants will look into the theory of hardware and software design and improve their knowledge in practical units. This CAN-bus training course forms the basis for our advanced-level workshops on CANopen and J1939. Target group CAN-bus training The target group of the CAN-bus workshop is development engineers who are looking for a quick start into the ISO standard 11898-1:2015 (Road vehicles – Controller Area Network). Also, we address decision makers and product managers to enable them to assess the suitability of the CAN-bus standard for their applications.

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 SAE J1939 standard (Serial Control and Communications Heavy Duity Vehicle Network) has originally been designed by SAE International to be used in heavy duty vehicles. In the meantime, the protocol is widely used also in agricultural machinery, rail vehicles and sea vessels and in a wide range of diesel-driven machinery. Target group J1939 training The target group of the J1939 intensive workshop is development engineers who are looking for a quick start into handling the communications profile or would like to get an insight into the J1939 protocol stack. Also, we address decision makers and product managers to enable them to assess the suitability of the J1939 protocol stack for their applications.

Every company is a world of its own and has its specific challenges. Based on our 25 years of expertise and in close liaison with you, we will analyse the current situation and future requirements to set up a specific training programme on ICA, BUS and control technology issues – tailored to your requirements and level of knowledge. Alternatively, we also offer standard training courses on CAN-bus basics, CANopen and J1939 for your company either as online webinar or as an in-house workshop at your site.
