CODESYS CANopen

Configure and use master and slave in the IEC 61131-3 development system - with portable protocol library (communication stack)

Integrated CANopen Master/Slave Support

Scope of services

  • CANopen master/slave configurator fully integrated in the CODESYS Development System based on EDS or DCF files.
    ⇒ No external tool required for configuring the bus system or the I/O data used
  • CANopen communication stack in the form of a CODESYS library according to CiA 301
    ⇒ Portable, dynamically usable protocol stack for different platforms
    ⇒ No static implementation of the stack on the device, memory usage for other tasks possible
    ⇒ Compilation of the stack into native machine code together with the application code, synchronous download to the controller
  • Application interface according to CiA 405 for diagnosis and use of SDO
    ⇒ Extensive functionality without needing any additional software tools
  • Extensive diagnostic functions
    ⇒ Fast and targeted troubleshooting of communication problems

The CANopen support in CODESYS is based on the standard implementation of the CAN-Interface (3S CAN driver interface). If the target device programmable with CODESYS is equipped accordingly, users can immediately use CODESYS CANopen.

Howtoget

  • You are a system integrator or a user in the machine/plant construction sector or the like:
    Use controllers equipped with CODESYS CANopen support.
    Check the CODESYS Device Directory for the devices best suited for your specific needs. Alternatively, you can use the CODESYS Control SoftPLC Systems from the CODESYS Store. CODESYS CANopen Master / Slave is already licensed in most systems and can be used immediately if a suitable CAN interface is available.
  • You are a manufacturer of programmable devices:
    Implement the CANopen mini driver on your hardware and make available sufficient memory on your device (more information here).  Order the CODESYS Runtime Toolkit with CANopen Master/Slave support. If necessary, also purchase the CODESYS CANopen Safety option.
