Current CANopen design files do not support EECs (emergency error codes) with their human readable descriptions. This feature has become more problematic because of abstraction to parameters and signals. The system structure has become automated and proven way of working. Manual EEC management is decreasing the development efficiency because it is time-consuming and prone to […]
Various kind of inconsistencies have been typical problems in design of distributed control systems. The first solved issue was an automated generation of signal and parameter abstraction from CANopen project avoiding the inconsistent names between application software and communication. The use of meta information of signals and local parameters, such as name, minimum, maximum and […]
Commonality between hydraulic valves driven by general purpose CANopen I/O and hydraulic CANopen drives Hydraulic valves have been driven by separate valve control electronics for decades. The tradition is becoming obsolete due to ever increasing performance, controllability, maintainability and re-usability requirements of the target systems. However, there are still a lot of functionally constrained fully […]
