Certified CANopen FD conformity for I/O product

The PCAN-MicroMod FD DR CANopen Digital 1 DIN rail I/O device from Peak-System has passed the official CiA conformance tests for CANopen as well as for CANopen FD.The device firmware is based on the Micro CANopen Plus protocol stack from partner Embedded Systems Academy (EmSA), which means that the device passed the conformance tests without any problems.

The device is one of the first standard industrial I/O devices to offer both conformance-tested CANopen and CANopen FD interfaces. Configuration is simplified, with settings made via 4 rotary controls documented directly on the housing. The use of additional configuration software is not necessary.

All other products from the PCAN-MicroMod FD series can optionally load the Micro-CANopen Plus protocol stack. Further I/O modules in the aluminum housing support analog inputs and outputs as well as PWM or frequency outputs. There is also a System-on-Module (SoM) solution for integrating customer-specific I/Os with the CAN/CAN FD, CANopen, and CANopen FD operating modes.

For all PCAN-MicroMod FD products CANopen-EDS/XDD files are available for download, which document the CANopen or CANopen FD functionality. In addition, the PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation Board includes a free CANopen FD license.
