#175906 - CANopen Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Firstly yes, DS408 = CiA408. DS = Draft Standard, which indicates the status of the specification.
I suspect that the PCI card you are talking about is just a way for a PC to talk to the CAN bus. If that is the case it knows nothing about CANopen, which is a software-based concept. The card will come with a driver to send/receive plain CAN messages, but you will need some software on the PC side to handle the CANopen protocol. Typically you will need to send SDOs to configure the nodes and then receive and process the PDOs, which can be treated as plain CAN messages. Now it could be that I am wrong and you have found a PCI card with support for CANopen built into it. If that is the case we will need a link to see it's functionality and understand exactly what is supported. CANopen has a lot of features but 95% of them are optional... Andy |
