CANopen Overview
CANopen is the standard industrial communication protocol on the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus. CANopen technology is used in a wide range of application areas, including medical equipment, vehicles, railway, and building automation. CAN in Automation (CiA) is the governing body that oversees CANopen Standards.
CANopen uses standardized object libraries to perform different functions within these application areas, the library supported by Lexium MDrive products is CiA402: Device Profile for Drives and Motion Control. Lexium MDrive products offer comprehensive support for the following CiA402 modes/profiles:
- Profile Position
- Profile Velocity
- Homing mode
- Profile Torque
- Cyclic Sync Position
Novanta IMS Lexium MDrive CANopen products also support the following CiA standards:
- CiA301: Application Layer and Communication Profile
- CiA305: Layer Setting Services
- CiA303-1: Cabling and Connector Pin Assignment
- CiA303-3: Indicator Specification
