Communication Interface PC/104
CANopen-Master
connector right
 
The Communication Interface as a Master on the CANopen network exchanges independently the data between the devices on the bus and the internal process image. The process image is held in the dual-port memory and the application can access the data directly. The configuration is carried out with the aid of our System Configurator SyCon® or directly from the application program. It is stored in the device and is available immediately at the start time. 

The Slave devices are configured by the Master via the CANopen network via SDO. With it only the relevant data in the process image is passed to or is taken from the application. At runtime the application has the possibility to send SDO telegrams to the node.

Facts at a glance:

• Execution of the CANopen protocol stack without load of the PC
• Direct access to the process data in the Dual-Port-Memory
• Easy diagnostic via LED status display
• Configuration data is stored in internal FLASH memory
• Graphic System Configurator with unified 'look and feel' for all fieldbus systems
• Identical 'easy-to-use' application interface on all Communication Interfaces
• Device driver for Windows® and Linux included
