Description
The CANopen support in CODESYS is based on the standard implementation of the CAN interface (3S CAN driver interface). If this system requirement is met on your target device programmable with CODESYS, you can use CODESYS CANopen immediately as the user. CODESYS CANopen Device contains
-
- a slave configurator completely integrated in the programming system CODESYS
You do not need an external tool to configure the bus system or the I/O data used.
-
- a CANopen communication stack in the form of a CODESYS library according to CiA 301
The protocol stack is portable for different platforms and does not need to be implemented firmly on the device. The IEC 61131-3 programming system translates the stack into native machine code together with the application code and loads it into the controller.
-
- an application interface for diagnosis and object directory access
Extensive functionality without additional software available
Requirements
Programming system | CODESYS Development System V3.5.4.0 or higher |
Runtime system | CODESYS Control V3.5.4.0 or higher |
Supported platforms/devices | Note: Use the Device Reader project to determine the functions supported by the controller. Device Reader is available free of charge from the CODESYS Store. |
Additional requirements | |
Limitations | -- |
Licensing |  Single device license: The license can be used on the controller on which the CODESYS runtime system is installed. The license activation is done on a software-based license container (soft container), which is permanently bound to the control system. Alternatively, the license can be stored on a CODESYS key (USB dongle). By redefining the CODESYS Key, the license can be used on another controller. |
Required accessories | Optional: CODESYS Key |
