CANopen Controller Library
Access a whole CANopen network from a Windows program with minimal CANopen knowledge
The CANopen Controller Library (CANopenIA-MGR) from Embedded Systems Academy (EmSA) is a compact CANopen manager and master that configures itself. At start-up it scans the network and sets itself up to send and receive the relevant communication, so your host program can reach every node straight away.
Your code addresses a parameter by node ID and Object Dictionary entry; the library decides whether to use a PDO or an SDO. It runs on top of the PEAK PCAN-Basic DLL, so it works on any Windows PC with the PCAN drivers installed.
