The CANopen communication profile distinguishes three message triggering modes:
a) Event-driven
Message transmission is triggered by the occurrence of an object-specific event specified in the
device profile.
b) Polling by remote frames
The transmission of asynchronous PDOs may be initiated upon receipt of a remote request ini-
tiated by another device.
c) Synchronized
Synchronous PDOs are triggered by the expiration of a specified transmission period synchro-
nized by the reception of the SYNC object.
