Comprehensive Devices and Network Analysis for CANopen

CANopen network design tool ProCANopen

CANalyzer .CANopen contains ProCANopen to enable efficient and quick planning of complete CANopen networks as well as devices. You are supported in all project phases, including planning, development, start-up, and service.

ProCANopen provides the following functions:

• Graphical representation

• Configuration of the data communication

• Interactive access to the object dictionary

• Download of project data and start-up

Through the extensive functions, combined with an intuitive user interface, you can concentrate immediately on the definition of the system parameters. ProCANopen executes the concrete and CANopen-conforming implementation of projects automatically. This significantly reduces the configuration effort required for extensive systems. The quality of the configuration thus created is increased, which in turn increases security of the system.

EDS file editor CANeds

The editor/generator CANeds is a tool for creating and testing EDS files. CANeds takes over the difficult and error-prone task of creating EDS files manually. CANeds enables device manufacturers and system integrators to avoid problems when working with corresponding CANopen configuration programs.

CANeds provides the following functions:

• Creation of new EDS files

• Modification of EDS files

• Testing of EDS files

• Scanning of devices, with EDS files generated semi-automatically

Creating EDS files is very easy due to the ability of accessing standard objects and their attributes via CiA-CODB databases. CANeds displays the structure of an EDS in a hierarchical tree structure and represents CANopen object attributes such as object and data types symbolically.
