CANopen Protocol Stack with improved CAN-FD support

In parallel to the ongoing standardization activities of the use of
CAN-FD in CANopen, our CANopen Stack already supports CAN-FD for PDOs.
Further highlights of the Stacks are:
– delivery as well-documented ANSI-C source code
– mostly MISRA-C compliant
– extensions for several profiles (e.g. 401, 402, 418, 447, 454) available
– graphical configuration tool included

The included configuration tool CANopen DeviceDesigner supports users
with the fast and efficient development of CANopen applications.
Only few clicks are needed to create the object dictionary of the device
and to specify the object features. The CANopen DeviceDesigner generates
then initializing functions in C.

Further advantages for our customers arise from he licensing model for
the CANopen stack. License fees are only to be paid once.

EnergyBus – transfer of specification to ISO/IEC

EnergyBus is the open standard for electronic components in e-bikes and
other light-electric-vehicle (LEV). The communication of the components
via CANopen is defined in the CANopen profile CiA-454.
The CiA specification was handed over to the IEC/ISO task force
TC69/JPT61851-3 LEV for the further maintenance.

emotas offers with its EnergyBus LEV Framework a software package
that allows fast and easy implementation of different EnergyBus devices, such
as battery, charger, drive, display and EnergyBus controller. The framework
provides all needed CANopen and EnergyBus services. Detailed knowledge of
CANopen or EnergyBus is therefore not mandatory for the development of
devices. Ready to use devices for E-bikes can be equipped with EnergyBus
communication within short time by using the emotas EnergyBus Framework.

emotas also offers seminars and trainings and consulting for EnergyBus, and
we are development partner of the EnergyBus association.
