CANopen Slave Source Code

The full functionality of a CANopen manager is not required for many embedded networks. Often, by limiting functionality, emphasis can be placed on requiring very few resources and the simplest possible use.

This is the purpose of the add-on Mini-Master. It contains:

• NMT Master - control of the status machine of the NMT slaves to start the network, for example. Monitoring of nodes by means of node guarding. Heartbeat monitoring is always a component of the Slave Source Code.
  
  
• SDO Client - the slave can thus also initiate an SDO transfer. This makes it possible to adjust settings in the object directories of other nodes and to call up data that is not available through PDO (e.g. for diagnostic purposes).
