CANalyzer.CANopen, Version 7.6 Comprehensive Devices and Network Analysis for CANopen Users Application Areas The primary application for the .CANopen Option for CANalyzer is the development of CANopen systems. In this environment the tool is primarily used to analyze and stimulate the CANopen-spe-cific CANopen® is an open, CAN-based communication protocol. Its wide range of application includes areas such as transport and control technology, measurement systems, medical technology, railway technology, maritime applications, and much more – in short everywhere a great amount of flexibility and rapid data transmission are in demand. The specification drew from the experience of several component manufacturers and users, result-ing message traffic on one or more CAN buses. Functions CANalyzer.CANopen extends the functionality of the CANalyzer to include: > Protocol-specific representation in the Trace Window > Protocol monitoring > Graphical representation of devices > Network management, guarding, heartbeat > Setting the baud rate and node ID via Layer Setting Services > Use of the CiA standard file formats EDS/DCF > Configuration of CANopen devices These functions will be described below in detail. in a well established standard that is maintained by the CAN in Automation (CiA®) user organization. Features and Advantages CANalyzer’s powerful functionality together with the functional expansions for CANopen gives the user a tool that can be used both in the development of CANopen systems as well as their startup and maintenance. CANalyzer.CANopen Option makes high-performance, CANopen-specific functions for analysis and configuration available to the developer. This is a prerequisite for reliable and efficient interaction with CANopen networks. 3/42 CANalyzer.CANopen enables CANopen-specific interpretation of data in the Trace Window.
