The data below applies to CANopen Slave firmware and stack version 3.5.x. The firmware/stack has been designed in order to meet the CiA Work Draft 301 V4.02 specification.

Key Features

  • Node guarding / life guarding and heartbeat
  • SYNC protocol
  • Emergency messages

Supported Protocols

  • CANopen
  • CAN Layer 2 Messages through Packet Interface

Exchange of process data
  • Via PDO transfer
    • synchronized
    • remotely requested
    • event driven (change of date)
  • Requested by application
    • via packet
Acyclic communication
  • SDO Up- and Download (Server only),
  • Emergency message (producer),
  • Timestamp (producer/consumer)
Functions
  • Node guarding / life guarding, heartbeat
    • 1 producer
    • max. 64 consumer (netX 50/100/500)
    • max. 4 consumer (netX 10)
  • PDO Mapping
  • NMT Slave
  • SYNC protocol (consumer)
  • Error behavior in state operational:
    • change to state pre-operational
    • no state change
    • change to state stopped
Baud rates
  • 10 kBit/s to 1 MBit/s
  • Automatic detection
Data transport layerCAN Frames, can be accessed by programming the CAN DL layer
CAN Frame type
  • 11 Bit
  • 11/29 Bit layer 2 transparent

*: In extended mode, the stack offers extended functionality. To use these functions requires an application program that configures and supports these functions, e.g. to create an own object dictionary. In extended mode, more input and output data can be used and transmit and receive PDOs can be used.

Note: The actual maximum number of IO Data and PDOs depends on the available amount of memory.

Configuration

For configuration of standard mode with default settings:

  • by SYCON.net configuration software (Download or exported configuration file named config.nxd)
  • by netX Configuration tool

For configuration of standard mode with default settings and configured settings and extended mode:

  • by packet to transfer configuration parameters.

Diagnostic

Firmware supports common and extended diagnostic in the dual-port-memory for loadable firmware
