CANopen
A BL67 station can be comprised of the gateway for CANopen and a maximum of 32
modules (corresponding to a station length of approx. 1 m)
NOTE:
The maximum number of modules is
dependent on the respective system
configuration. The maximum number may
be limited as the maximum current
consumption on the module bus may not
exceed 1.5 A (refer to the rated current
consumption table, page 18). A limitation
may also result if modules with extensive
process, parameter and diagnostic data
are used. The I/O-ASSISTANT takes this
fact into consideration and issues a
warning message if appropriate
.

• Configuration/parameterisation of
the devices via standardised EDS
files (Electronic Data sheets)
The CAN user layer CANopen consists of
device profiles, which standardise the data
contents of the respective device
categories, and of communication profiles.
The communication profile determines the
method of data exchange between the
devices. In this context one differentiates
between real time data (process data
objects – PDO) and parameter data
(service data objects – SDO).
CANopen defines different communication
modes for the transmission of the process
data (PDOs):
• Event-controlled: Messages are sent as
soon as the contents has changed.
Therefore, the process image/mapping
is not transferred permanently; only the
modifications are transmitted.
• Cyclic synchronous mode: The modules
are requested to accept the output data
received and to send new input data via
a SYNC telegram.
• Request-controlled: The modules are
triggered to send their input data via a
CAN data request message.
BL67 components are suited for all I/O
communication modes.
CANopen devices are parameterised via
SDOs. These are primarily used to transfer
parameters during device configuration
and to transmit longer data fields.
Due to effective usage of the bus band-
width CANopen offers short system
response times at a relatively low
transmission speed (max. 1 Mbps).
Configuration/Parameterisation
Module addresses ranging from 1...99 are
adjusted via two decimally coded rotary
switches. The system speed corresponds
to the transmission rate set via the master.
The transmission speed is automatically
detected by the BL67 modules (auto
baud).
The manufacturer provides EDS files (EDS
= Electronic Data Sheet) for configuration
of the individual CANopen nodes. TURCK
additionally offers the I/O-ASSISTANT,
a helpful software tool for configuration,
parameterisation and set-up of the
individual modules.
