Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen

About The Book Being three authors, we divided “Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen” into three parts: Part 1: “Using CANopen” by Olaf Pfeiffer This part focuses on CANopen up to the system integrator level. Any technician or engineer that needs to be able to configure and/or maintain a CANopen network will find the required knowledge to do so in this part. The last chapter in this part contains a step-by-step example of a network configuration and test cycle. Understanding Embedded Networking Requirements The CANopen Standard CANopen Beyond DS301 CANopen Configuration Example Part 2: “CANopen Engineering” by Chris Keydel This is the part for engineers that either just need to have a detailed knowledge of how CAN and CANopen work or that actually develop their own CANopen devices. Different implementation methods are introduced and compared with each other. Underlying Technology: CAN Implementing CANopen Part 3 “CANopen Reference” by Andrew Ayre A pure reference section for all CANopen users. Key elements of CANopen are summarized in a way that allows a quick look-up. The core of this part is an Object Dictionary reference listing all Object Dictionary entries specified by the CiA CANopen standards DS301 and DS302. Frequently Asked Questions Physical Layer Data Types The Object Dictionary Minimal Object Dictionaries Communication Object Identifiers (COB IDs) Emergency Objects SDO Abort Messages Node States CANopen Glossary (provided by CiA) Tutors at Embedded Systems Academy
