CANopen Master API Version 5.0


The CANopen Master API is a software package that allows an easy development of CANopen master applications such as control, service and test programs under Windows.

With the new version 5.0 of the package IXXAT again extends the software functionality.
Besides a multiple independent
CAN channel support for the iPC-I XC16/PCI, tinCAN161 and USB-to-CAN II the package also supports the LSS master functionality according to CiA 305 (CANopen Layer Setting Services and Protocols) and the Flying Master mechanism (specified in CiA 302).

The basic functionality of the software includes the
transmission and reception of client SDOs with unlimited data length as well as the transmission and reception of PDOs. Furthermore emergency messages can be received and sync messages or time stamp message can be transmitted.
The NMT master functionality includes functions for the boot-up control and node guarding or heartbeat.

To simplify the integration into customer specific applications, the software package includes programming samples for Microsoft C++ and the .Net Framework.
