NMT communication states
NMT Status INITIALISATION
The device is not involved in the events on the bus in this state. All hardware and software
components are initialized. This state is attained after switching on the device or after receipt
of the command code 81h (“Reset node”) of the own or global addresses. Following receipt of
the command code 82h (“Reset Communication”), the display will enter the initialization
stage as well. But only hardware and software associated with CAN communication will be
reinitialized. The device signals automatically the completion of initialization by sending a
boot-up message. As soon as the boot-up message was sent successfully, the device will enter
the “PRE-OPERATIONAL” status.
NMT Status PRE-OPERATIONAL
Parameterization data (SDO) can be exchanged in the pre-operational mode. However, no
process data (PDOs) is transferred.
NMT Status OPERATIONAL
The exchange of process data is enabled as well. However, COB-ID and Transmit PDO mapping
parameters can no longer be changed in this condition.
