BL20 - Communication in CANopen
D301087 0308 - BL20 CANopen4-10
Identifier for the Standard Objects
Node-ID
The identifier for each device in a CANopen network is the Node-ID.
The CANopen slaves can be assigned the Node-IDs 1 to 127
("Node-ID Setting", page 3-24).
COB-ID (Communication Object Identifier)
The identifier for each communication object in a CANopen network
is the COB-ID.
The COB-IDs for the standard objects (digital input, digital output,
analog input, analog output) are assigned automatically.
The ranges for the COB-IDs are defined by the "Predefined Master-
Slave Connection Set".
Each range for the COB-IDs has 127 numerical values.
The COB-IDs are calculated according to the following rule:
COB-ID = Base-ID + Node-ID
Base-ID (decimal): 128; 384; 512; 640; 768; 896; 1024; 1152;
1280; 1408; 1536; 1792
Node-ID (decimal): 1 to 127
