3.1.3Objects

All processes under CANopen are executed via objects. Objects carry out different tasks; they act as communication objects for data transport to the fieldbus, control the process of establishing a connection or mon- itor the network devices. If objects are directly linked to the device (de- vice-specific objects), the device functions can be used and changed via these objects.

Object dictionary The object dictionary of each network device allows for communication between the devices. Other devices find all objects with which they can communicate in this dictionary.

Figure 3.2 Device model with object dictionary

Objects for describing the data types and executing the communication tasks and device functions under CANopen are included in the object dictionary.

Object index Every object is addressed by means of a 16 bit index, which is repre- sented as a four-digit hexadecimal number. The objects are arranged in groups in the object dictionary.
