S300-S700 CANopen | 4 īīCANopen Communciation Profile
4.4.6.1 Transmission modes
The following PDO transmission modes are distinguished:
Synchronous transmission
Asynchronous transmission
The pre-defined SYNC Object is transmitted periodically (bus clock), to synchronize the drives.
Synchronous PDOs are transmitted within a pre-defined time window immediately following the
SYNC Object.
The transmission modes are set up with the aid of the PDO communication parameters.
4.4.6.2 Trigger modes
Three different trigger modes are distinguished:
Event driven
The transmission of the telegrams is triggered by an object-specific event.
Time driven
If event driven signals put a high strain on the bus, you can determine the period of time after
which a PDO can be transmitted again via the inhibit time (Communication parameter, sub-
index 03h)
Event Timer driven
If a PDO shall be sent within a defined time interval, even if it doesnāt change, this interval can
be defined by a special SDO.
