CANopen Process Data Objects

CANopen - PDO Transmission Types

Rather than sending singular messages with SDOs the drive supports 2 Process Data Objects (PDO) each with up to 4 mappings to allow for multiple Objects to be sent within one message.

Various transmission modes can be selected for each PDO. For Rx PDO, the following modes are supported:

Transmission Type

Mode

Description

0 - 240

Synchronous

The received data will be transferred to the drive active control register when the next sync message is received.

254, 255

Asynchronous

The received data will be transferred to the drive active control register immediately without delay.

For TX PDO, the following modes are supported:

Transmission Type

Mode

Description

0

Acyclic synchronous

TX PDO will only be sent out if the PDO data has changed and PDO will be transmitted on reception of SYNC object.

1-240

Cyclic synchronous

TX PDO will be transmitted synchronously and cyclically. The transmission type indicates the number of SYNC object that are.

254

Asynchronous

TX PDO will only be transferred once corresponding RX PDO has been received.

255

Asynchronous

TX PDO will only be transferred anytime if PDO data value has changed.

CANopen - PDO Default Mappings

Below are the default mappings for each PDO. On power down any user mappings are not saved and will be reverted to these values.

The Rx Process Data is used for Drive Control.

The Tx Process Data is used for Drive Statuses.
