    Advantages

    • Open architecture
    • Real-time transfer of process data without protocol overhead
    • Modular and scalable

    Fundamentals

    CANopen Standard

    The framework of this standard was developed as part of a project funded by the European Union. In 1995 the specifications that had been created up to that point were transferred to the organization CiA e.V. (CAN in Automation). Since then the standard has been maintained and further developed under the auspices of this CAN user organization. Since 2002 it has been available as a European standard (EN 50325-4 2002 Part 4: CANopen).

    CANopen Device Structure

    The CANopen standard describes the exchange of data in a CAN-based network. This standard defines both the fundamental communication mechanisms (communication profile) and the functionalities of communicating devices (device profile). This means that interpretation of process data that are transmitted over the bus are also defined under CANopen.

    Object Directory

    Every CANopen device makes internal data (process data, parameters) available on the bus via a defined interface, whereby these internal data are organized in an object directory. Entries in the object directory are accessed via a 16-bit index and supplemental 8-bit sub-index. The index range is subdivided into logical segments to organize the structure so that it easier to comprehend by users. The name of a device, for example, can be read from index 0x1008 (sub-Index 0).

    Communication Principles

    There are two fundamental types of communication on a CANopen bus.

    SDO

    Service data objects (SDO) permit optional access to any desired entry of the object directory. Since these entries frequently exceed the maximum allowable size of a CAN message, i.e. 8 bytes, segmenting of data is performed by the SDO. The SDO server provides access to its object dictionary to an SDO client. The client can upload (read) or download (write) data from / to the server.

    PDO

    If information is sent cyclically to one or more devices, the use of Process Data Objects (PDO) is appropriate. In principle, a PDO is a CAN message that is fully configurable. Each CANopen device can have multiple transmit and receive PDOs. PDOs are configured with the corresponding entries in the object directory. These special entries allow changing the CAN ID as well as mapping bytes of the message to objects of the object dictionary.

    Show more

    Network Structure

    Up to 127 logical devices may be addressed in a CANopen network. One of these devices must have CANopen Master functionality. This means that the Master can monitor other devices called Slaves and change their states. Each device is uniquely identified by its node address (1 to 127).

    Specification

    CANopen Documents

    The CANopen specifications can be obtained from the home page of CiA. e.V.
    The most important specification documents are:

    • DS 301 - This document is also known as the Communication profile and it describes the fundamental services and protocols used under CANopen.
    • DS 302 - Framework for programmable devices (CANopen Manager, SDO Manager)

    Information on cables and connectors is contained in DR 303-3.


    The behaviors of many device classes are already defined under CANopen in so-called device profiles (DS 4xx). These profiles describe:

    • Run-time behavior
    • Device-specific objects in the object directory
    • Error handling
    • Standard configuration of PDOs

    CANopen devices are selected based on the definition of overall functionality of a CANopen system. In the selection process, it does not matter whether the devices are purchased or developed in-house. For devices not yet developed, a suitable tool should be used to create an EDS/XDD file before device implementation. Advantages of this method are realized over the further course of the development process.

    The EDS/XDD files are linked to a suitable configuration tool. The tool can then be used to set device parameters. This work step includes tasks such as configuring the PDOs (setting up mapping parameters, defining CAN identifiers), defining a CANopen Manager and parameterizing a heartbeat producer.

    The EDS Generator for CANopen Systems

    CANeds is a free-of-charge editor for creating and checking CANopen EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files. It is included in the Vector tools CANoe.CANopen and CANalyzer.CANopen.

    CANeds offers extensive functions for the convenient creation, modification and testing of EDS files. It takes over the difficult and error-prone task of creating EDS files manually. CANeds enables device manufacturers and system integrators to avoid problems when working with corresponding CANopen configuration programs.

    The following functions are provided:

    • Creation of new EDS files
    • Modification of EDS files
    • Testing of EDS files
    • Scanning of devices, with EDS files generated semi-automatically

    Creating EDS files is very easy due to the ability of accessing standard objects and their attributes via CiA-CODB databases. CANeds displays the structure of an EDS in a hierarchical tree structure and represents CANopen object attributes such as object and data types symbolically.
