•
The PN/CAN LINK can operate up to 126 slaves as CANopen Manager in the CANopen
network.
•
Network management functions according to CiA standard "CiA 302 Part 2".
If the PN/CAN LINK is operated as CANopen Manager, it takes over the following functions:
–
NMT Master: The PN/CAN LINK controls the NMT state of the other CAN devices and
executes the boot-up procedure according to the CiA standard "CiA 302 Part 2".
–
Configuration Manager: The PN/CAN LINK configures the CANopen slaves during the
boot-up procedure by means of SDO write access.
–
The PN/CAN LINK also supports the following CANopen standards:
CiA 303 Part 1 - Cabling and pin assignment V1.8.0
CiA 303 Part 3 - LED control - Display specification, V1.4.0
CiA 309 Part 4 - Mapping of data types and their conversion (Amendment 7 to Fieldbus
Integration into PROFINET IO, V1.0.0)
–
The PN/CAN LINK does not support the following standards:
CiA 305 - regarding LSS functionality
CiA 306 - regarding XDD files
CiA 1301+CiA 601 - regarding CANopen FD (Flexible Data)
•
I/O data are transmitted on the CANopen side with the help of process data objects
(PDOs).
•
All PDO transmission rates specified in the CiA301 standard are supported.
•
Segmented SDO data transmission is supported.
•
SYNC function as producer (sender) as well as consumer (receiver)

CANopen Slave
•
The PN/CAN LINK can be used as an "NMT slave" according to "CiA 302 Part 2".
When the PN/CAN LINK is an NMT slave, another CANopen Manager configures the OD
and thus which data is exchanged with which other devices.
