The OPUS A3 is particularly characterized by its robust construction, and it has been
developed especially for harsh use conditions in mobile work machines.
3.3 Application Development
There are three possible ways to program the OPUS A3 and make it an integrated
part of its application.
1. Projektor-Tool:
This powerful development environment provided by Wachendorff Elektronik GmbH
& Co KG enables the quick and effective creation of an application for the OPUS A3
operator terminal. Use the Projektor to conveniently design the user interface on the
computer, which can be easily displayed on the device. In addition this tool includes
features to work with CANopen
®
, J1939 and CANfreestyle protocols for CAN
communication. Fur further information please refers to the Operator Manual
Projektor Tool III.
2. CODESYS© 3.x:
CODESYS© is a programming tool and system developed by the German company
3S. It supports different means of programming such as FUB or Structured Text. It
can be used to program the OPUS A3 and CODESYS© compatible ECUs.
CODESYS© includes the functionality to configure the CANopen
®
protocol for
communication over CAN bus. For further information please refer to the
BAOPUSA3CDS.
3. C-Programming:
OPUS A3 with its embedded Linux as operational system can be fully programmed
using C or C++ as programming language. For further information and function-call
list please refer to the
C/C++ Developer Guide.
4. ISO-UT:
OPUS A3 can be used as a ISO-UT slave. According to the ISO-11783 standard and
DLG conformity.
5. Wachendorff Board Support Package (BSP):
Based on the operationally system Wachendorff Boards Support Package provides
all the necessary interfaces to control the internal functionality of the unit (e.g.
activation of the backlight display, processing key activation, etc.).
This software is ready installed on all OPUS A3 delivered together with the operation
system. For further information please refer to the
C/C++ Developer Guide.
6. Universal Downloader:
To download software from the PC to the terminal the Universal Downloader 4 is
provided. It supports a download via USB stick and Ethernet. The Universal
