CAN Standards

CANopen specifications are defined by the CiA group and can be accessed (subject

 

to some restrictions) on the group site at www.can-cia.de. The source codes for

 

master and slave devices are available from the various suppliers.

 

 

 

Note: To find out more about CANopen standard specifications and mechanisms,

Communication

 

 

The communication profile is based on CAL (CAN Application Layer) services and

on a CANopen

protocols.

Network

It provides the user with access to two types of exchange: SDO and PDO.

 

 

On power up, the device enters an initialization phase then goes into "Pre-

 

operational" state. At this stage, only SDO communication is authorized. After

 

receiving a startup command, the device switches to the "Operational" state. PDO

 

and SDO communications are both authorized when the device is in the

 

"Operational" state.
