2 How
it
works
2.1 COMMUNICATION
You can connect Mastervolt products with
MasterBus in a CANopen network with this
CANopen interface. MasterBus products can share
information and can be controlled by CANopen
products.
Information is transferred between MasterBus and
CANopen via data fields. Up to 100 data fields can
be used. (Chapter 4)
MasterBus events can also be received by the
Interface and the information shared on the
CANopen network. (Chapter 5)
MasterBus products can also be controlled via
Events from the CANopen network. The Interface
generates the MasterBus Events when a specific
CANopen message is received. (Chapter 6)
Chapter 3 is a basic introduction of CANopen and
the NMT protocol used by many CANopen products.
This interface uses the NMT protocol as well.
