CANopen Configuration Tool – Designed for Both R&D Engineers and Production Personnel
CANopen Configuration Tool is a versatile configuration software that allows both complex configuration of CANopen devices by Research & Development (R&D) engineers as well as quick and easy automatic configuration and firmware update by production and service personnel. CANopen Configuration Tool is an adaptable software designed to meet the needs of both R&D and Production personnel. Its dual functionality makes it a go-to tool for managing CANopen devices with efficiency and accurately.
CANopen Configuration Tool For R&D engineers
CANopen Configuration Tool provides a tool for detailed configuration. The Conftool allows the user to read and write single Object Dictionary entries of a CANopen node and then save the configuration to a Device Configuration File (DCF). Users can also write their own plugin modules for their specific CANopen nodes to use a custom graphical user interface (GUI) for configuration. This automation speeds up the setup and also ensures consistency across devices, making it easier to manage complex configurations.
On the production
CANopen Configuration Tool manages both configuration and firmware updates. The Conftool simplifies the configuration process with the ability to automatically set up nodes using existing device profiles. These features can be used to greatly speed up and automate the production and servicing process. With a user-friendly interface designed for quick and easy operation, production and service teams can perform tasks efficiently.
1 year support included
Beginners will find the CANopen Configuration Tool accessible and easy to navigate. The “Interactive mode” of the Conftool is well suited and easy to apply for beginners, as it presents all the entries and sub-entries of the Object Dictionary in a straightforward manner; it can display the values of these entries in either decimal or hexadecimal representation and it gives easy access to layer setting services (LSS). Basic familiarity with CANopen is helpful, but the intuitive interface helps bridge the knowledge gap, making the learning curve less steep.
How to enhance your CANopen workflow?
With CANopen Configuration Tool you can optimize and automate your configuration processes. Develop and use your own GUI plugin for a range of similar devices allowing you to reduce setup time and minimize errors while also affording you the versatility to quickly introduce new configurations. Create DCF profiles for recurring configurations to automate configuration tasks and reduce manual intervention.
