CANopen Manager Stack Overview
The CANopen Manager Stack by emotas embedded communication GmbH extends the well-proven CANopen Master Stack by additional CANopen manager functions according to the CiA specification 302 “Additional Application Layer Functions”. These additional functions to handle dynamic CANopen networks are:
- BootUp Manager (CiA 302-2)
- Configuration Manager (CiA 302-3)
The bootup manager implements the boot up behavior of a CANopen network as defined in CiA 302. The manager can be configured to check for mandatory and optional devices according there device types (0x1000) and identity data (0x1018) and inform the application about all devices.
The configuration manager is able to check if the devices are configured as expected and if not, it is able to start a configuration process automatically. Configurations may be read from DCF files or Concise-DCF files.
Of course all CANopen master services as defined in CiA 301 are included. Generally, the CANopen manager stack should be used if the CANopen network is very dynamic with a varying number and types of CANopen slaves.
Additionally, there are optional extension modules for Redundant Networks (CiA 302-6) and Multi-Level-Networking (302-7) available.
