2.4.3 Units and prefix parameter
This chapter describes the coding of units and prefix parameters according to CiA 303-2. Some objects pro-
vide unit and prefix in the sub-indices 2 and 3 to allow the master controller the correct visualization.
2.5 CANopen object dictionary (OD)
CANopen devices have an object dictionary, which is used for configuration and non-realtime communication
with the device. It is essentially a grouping of objects accessible via the network. Each object within the object
dictionary is addressed using a 16 bit index and an 8 bit sub-index. So an object can contain 256 parameters
which are addressed by the sub-index. The object dictionary is structured in several index ranges. The classi-
fication of the object dictionary is defined in the CiA 301.
