CANopen – CANopen FD Slave Protocol Stack

Description

CANopen / CANopen FD Slave Protocol Stack for Embedded Systems

The CANopen / CANopen FD Slave Protocol Stack is a professional embedded software solution for developers building CANopen-enabled devices. Delivered as portable C99 source code, the stack enables rapid integration of CANopen and CAN FD communication into industrial electronics, automation controllers, sensors, actuators and distributed I/O modules.

Supporting both CiA 301 and CiA 1301 standards, the protocol stack provides a scalable architecture with configurable PDOs, flexible object dictionary management and support for multiple CAN controllers through the CANpie FD interface.

CANopen / CANopen FD Slave Protocol Stack Key Features

• CANopen and CANopen FD support according to CiA 301 and CiA 1301
• Delivered as portable C99 source code
• Optimised for low RAM and ROM usage
• Modular architecture with flexible configuration
• Support for standard and extended CAN frames
• Runtime parameterisation via object dictionary
• Easy integration with embedded applications
• Broad CAN controller compatibility via CANpie FD
• Vendor-specific object dictionary extensions supported
• Optional CANopen Safety and Mini-Master add-ons available

Supported CANopen Services

The CANopen slave stack includes comprehensive protocol functionality for embedded CAN networks, including:

• Service Data Objects (SDO / USDO Server)
• Process Data Objects (PDO Consumer / Producer)
• Network Management (NMT Slave)
• Emergency Messages (EMCY)
• Synchronisation Messages (SYNC)
• Layer Setting Services (LSS)
• TIME Producer and Consumer support

Flexible PDO and Object Dictionary Configuration

The protocol stack allows developers to configure up to 32 transmit PDOs and 32 receive PDOs while maintaining compliance with predefined connection sets defined in CiA standards. The local object dictionary can also be extended with custom vendor-specific parameters for application-specific communication requirements.

CANopen FD Stack Applications

Typical applications include:

• Industrial automation systems
• Embedded control devices
• CAN FD data acquisition systems
• Sensors and actuators
• Motion control and drives
