SYS TEC CANopen Device Explorer Full Version

Plug Ins of Full Version

The CANopen Device Explorer already contains a number of plug-ins. In the Basic version, this is the CANopen Interpreter. In addition to the ISO-TP interpreter and multi-interface support, the full version also includes the following plug-ins:

CANopen DeviceExplorer LSS Master plug-in
provides all LSS master services in the expert view and facilitates the development of CANopen devices. The bit rate and node ID of an LSS slave can also be changed remotely via the CAN bus. The scan of a network and the semi-automatic node number assignment for an entire network are also supported.

CANopen DeviceExplorer CiA 402 plug-in
enables the state machine of a drive to be controlled in accordance with the CANopen device profile CiA 402. Parameters such as position and speed can be controlled in the Position and Velocity Mode profiles.

CANopen DeviceExplorer Script plug-in
The script extension is based on Javascript, which has been expanded to include CANopen-specific commands, for example for sending and receiving SDOs, PDOs and NMT messages. A graphical UI designer can be used to create your own user interfaces so that user-specific test and control applications can be realized on the basis of the script language.

Add-ons

Further plug-ins can be licensed separately:

CANopen DeviceExplorer PDL (Process Data Linker) plug-in
completes the CANopen DeviceExplorer into a comprehensive tool for project planning and commissioning of complex CANopen networks. The plug-in links process data objects of different devices with each other in corresponding PDOs. The necessary entries for communication and mapping parameters are created and stored in the DCF files of the devices involved. If desired, the configuration data can also be immediately transferred to the respective devices in Concise Storage Format and stored there persistently. The links between the devices can be defined with just a few clicks. Detailed knowledge of CANopen is no longer required, making PDO linking much easier.

CANopen DeviceExplorer SRDO plug-in
contains an additional dialog for the CANopen DeviceExplorer and enables consistent configuration of the CiA 304-compliant Safety Relevant Data Objects (SDRO) and thus safe transmission of process data.
