 CANopen Option, Version 3.2 for CANoe
Simulation and Development of CANopen Systems
Download Datasheet 
 CANopen is an open, CAN-based communication protocol. Its wide application range includes the areas of transport and control technology, measurement systems, medical technology, railway technology, maritime applications, and much more.
As the use of networking continues to increase, the development of CANopen systems is not possible without suitable development tools. CANoe ( CAN Open Environment) supports the entire development process for networked systems, from planning and simulation through in-the-loop testing and production.
Features and Advantages
The .CANopen option for CANoe coupled with the project planning tool called ProCANopen (included in delivery) enables efficient planning, management, simulation, and startup of CANopen networks. During the system design phase the user has the opportunity to simulate the later behaviour of a system, estimate the bus load, and draw conclusions, like the necessary hardware performance, supported with extensive, CANopen-specific functions. The necessary orientation and concentration with regards to CANopen is largely avoided. The use of CANoe with the .CANopen option aids in increasing the integration quality, at the same time reducing costs significantly. This functionality reduces necessary steps to the definition of defaults - without having to carry out a concrete implementation manually. Effort and the possibility for errors are greatly reduced.
 Functions
The .CANopen option for CANoe expands the standard functionality of CANoe with:
- The project planning tool ProCANopen
- The generation of network models
- The generation of graphical I/O panels
- The communication monitoring
- The interactive device access
Application Areas
With CANoe and the .CANopen option, all developers have a tool for the development of CANopen systems:
- Support is provided for the person responsible for distribution of functions, function testing, and integration of the entire system.
- Simulation of the remaining busses and environments provides suppliers with an ideal test environment.
- For projects with more than one supplier, independent and parallel development of network nodes is possible (simultaneous engineering).
Additional areas of application are:
- Test tool during development. With interactive configuration and setting of parameters, the functionality of devices can be tested.
- Startup of devices
- Programming of devices
- Startup of CANopen networks
- Diagnostics
- End-of-line tests
Using in parallel the options .J1939 and .CANopen, CANoe is the ideal development and test environment for the CiA DS-413 CANopen Truck Gateway.
