The Configuration objects are grouped in the
Object Dictionary
(refer also on
page 72).
The Object Dictionary is the most important part of a device profile. It is
essentially a grouping of objects accessible via the network in an ordered, pre-
defined fashion. Each object within the dictionary is addressed using a 16-bit
index.
The Object Dictionary can contain a maximum of 65,536 entries.
The user-related objects are grouped in three main areas: the Communication
Profile Area, the Manufacturer Specific Profile Area and the Standardised Device
Profile Area. The objects are all described in the XDD file.
The
Communication Profile Area
at indexes from 1000h to 1FFFh contains the
communication specific parameters for the POWERLINK network. These entries
are common to all devices. The Communication Profile Area objects comply with
the “CiA Draft Standard Proposal 301 CANopen Application layer and
communication profile”. Refer to the “6.12.1 Communication Profile Area
objects (DS 301)” section on page 74.
The
Manufacturer Specific Profile Area
at indexes from 2000h to 5FFFh is
free to add manufacturer-specific functionality. Refer to the “6.12.2
Manufacturer Specific Profile Area objects” section on page 90.
The
Standardised Device Profile Area
at indexes from 6000h to 9FFFh
contains all data objects common to a class of devices that can be read or
