RPDO Receive Process Data Object (RPDO). Data received by the Consumer from
Producer communication, (e.g., the master controller receives data from the
slave controller).
RX Receive. In CANopen, RX (Rx) is from the perspective of the salve controller.
TPDO Transmit Process Data Object (TPDO). Data transmission by the PDO
Producer to PDO Consumer, (e.g., the slave controller transmits data to the
master controller).
SDO Service Data Object (SDO). A SDO is a low priority message used to transfer
multiple data sets from a client to a server and vice versa. Several types of
data transfer are available, with the Client (master controller) taking the
initiative for a transfer. e SDO process is used primarily to read or write to
an object index of a Server (slave controller). A SDO is used for conguring
the 1351 system controller via the CAN network. e contents of the data set
are dened within the Object Dictionary.
SSDO Server-SDO. Owner of the Object Dictionary (e.g., the slave controller).
Server to Client communication.
TX Transmit. In CANopen, TX (Tx) is from the perspective of the salve
controller.
CSDO Client-SDO. Client to Server communication. SDO Download: rough this
service the client (i.e., the master) of a SDO downloads data to the server
(i.e., the salve, which is the owner of the Object Dictionary). SDO Upload:
rough this service, the client of an SDO uploads (reads) data from the
server.
VCL VCL is the unique Curtis Vehicle Control language. VCL provides the
application level programmability to customize the usage, or allow Curtis
controllers to perform as ‘vehicle managers’ eliminating the need for costly,
additional system controllers. See our website: Curtis Vehicle Control
Language (VCL). Note, for migrating applicable VCL to the 1351, contact
the Curtis distributor where you obtained your controller or the Curtis sales-
support oce in your region.
SDO Write Message
To retain parameter values in non-volatile memory (NVM) that are sent by standard CANopen SDO
write messages (such as from a dierent controller or module), a non-zero value must be written to
SDO_NVM_Write_Enable (Object Index 0x2008, sub-index 0x00) before changing parameter values.
is will have the parameter changes written to non-volatile memory.
Note that having the SDO_NVM_Write_Enable set to zero only saves the parameter changes to
ephemeral (RAM) memory.
Note that CSS and the 1313HHP programmers automatically force all changes to be stored into non-
volatile memory regardless of the SDO NVM WRITE Enable setting.
