CiA “CAN in Automation e�V�”(user and manufacturer organisation in Germany/Erlangen)
definition and control body for CAN and CAN-based network protocols
CiA DS draft standard (published CiA specification which usually has not been modified or
supplemented for one year)
CiA DSP draft standard proposal (published CiA specification draft)
CiA WD work draft (work draft accepted for discussion within CiA)
CiA DS 301 specification for CANopen communication profile;describes the basic communication
between network participants such as the transfer of process data in real time, the
exchange of data between devices or the configuration stage
supplemented by the following CiA specifications depending on the application:
CiA DS 401 device profile for digital and analogue I/O modules
CiA DS 402 device profile for drives
CiA DS 403 device profile for HMI
CiA DS 404 device profile for measurement and control technology
CiA DS 405 specification for interfaces to programmable systems (IEC 61131-3)
CiA DS 406 device profile for encoders
CiA DS 407 application profile for local public transport
COB CANopen communication object (PDO, SDO, EMCY, ���)
COB-ID CANopen identifier of a communication object
Communication cycle the synchronisation time to be monitored; max� time between 2 synch objects
EMCY object emergency object (alarm message; device indicates an error)
Error Reg error register (entry with an error code)
Guarding Error node or network participant could or can no longer be found
guard MASTER: one or several SLAVES no longer reply
guard SLAVE: no polling of the device (SLAVE)
Guard Time during this time the network participant expects a “node guarding” of the network
master
Heartbeat cyclic monitoring with parameter setting among network participants
In contrast to “node guarding” no superior NMT master is required�
ID (also identifier) identifier; identifies a CAN message; the numerical value of the ID also contains a
priority for the access to the bus systemID 0 = top priority�
Idx index; together with the subindex it forms the address of an entry in the object direc-
tory
Life Time Factor number of attempts in case of a missing guarding reply
Monitoring is used to describe the error class (guarding monitoring, synch etc�)
NMT network management
NMT master/slaves the NMT master controls the operating states of the NMT slaves
Node Guarding adjustable cyclical monitoring of slave network participants by a higher master node
as well as monitoring of this polling process by the slave participants
Node ID node identifier (identification of a participant in the CANopen network)
Object (also OBJ) term for data/messages which can be exchanged in the CANopen network
Object directory contains all CANopen communication parameters of a device as well as device-specif-
ic parameters and data;
access to the individual entries is possible via the index and subindex
