The CANopen Device Monitor (CDM) is a powerful yet cost-effective software tool
for easy configuration of one or more CANopen devices. It makes possible the
direct access to the object directory of connected nodes and provides NMT and
LSS functionality.
The CDM can read out and configure the object directory, even if there is no
EDS available for the respective device. Quick and convenient access to the
entire device functionality provided by a representation of the object directory
in a concise tree structure.
The CDM is capable of storing and reading a device configuration in so called
DCF (Device Configuration File). Configuration of CANopen devices from existing
DCF files is also possible. An automatic network scan detects all reachable
CANopen nodes quickly.
The CDM has a built-in script language. Using the script language
user-specific extensions can be easily created. Therefore the CDM comes with a
corresponding high-level API. Using the imbedded control panels, you get direct
access to CDM functionality and to all implemented CANopen services.
The CDM is the ideal tool, especially for CANopen device development and
service. You benefit from significantly reduced development times thanks to
automated test procedures that now become possible. Using device-specific
interfaces for configuration, the CDM provides you with an all-round service
tool for CANopen devices.
Corresponding demo projects are included in the delivery package. You can
find a demo-version of the CDM on our web site. A plug-in is offered for
configuration of Safety Relevant Data Objects (SRDO).
