Abstract
Disclosed are a method of configurating a CANopen network, a method of operating a slave device of the CANopen network, and a system for controlling a PC device using the CANopen network. The method of operating the slave device connected to the CANopen network includes creating a process data object for transmission, designating identifier information for the process data object, and transmitting the created process data object to a device corresponding to the designated identifier information. The identifier information includes a communication object identifier allowing another slave device or a master device connected to the CANopen network to receive the process data object.
Claims15
A method of operating a slave device connected to a control area network (CAN) open (CANopen) network to which a first slave device, a second slave device and a master device are connected, the method comprising:
- creating a process data object for transmission;
- designating identifier information for the created process data object;
- and
- transmitting the created process data object to a device corresponding to the designated identifier information,
- wherein the identifier information includes a communication object identifier allowing the first slave device, the second slave device or the master device to receive the created process data object,
- wherein the communication object identifier for the first slave device, the communication object identifier for the second slave device and the communication object identifier for the master device are matched,
- wherein transmitting the created process data object comprises transmitting the created process data object to the master device and the second slave device at the same time based on the matched communication object identifier.
A method of configuring a control area network (CAN) open (CANopen) network, the method comprising:
- connecting a master device and a plurality of slave devices to the CANopen network;
- and
- allocating a communication object identifier for the master device and each of the plurality of slave devices such that a process data object is transceived between the master device and the plurality of slave devices
- wherein the communication object identifier for the master device and the communication object identifier for each of the plurality of slave devices are matched, and
- wherein the master device and the plurality of slave devices transceive process data based on the matched communication object identifier corresponding to the process data object.
A system for controlling a programmable logic controller (PLC) device using a control area network (CAN) open (CANopen) network, the system comprising:
- a first PLC slave device connected to the CANopen network, the first PLC slave device operated by transceiving data from the CANopen network;
- and
- a master device connected to the CANopen network to control and manage the first PLC slave device,
- wherein the first PLC slave device creates a process data object for transmission, designates identifier information including a communication object identifier for data reception of the created process data object by a second PLC slave device or a master device connected to the CANopen network, and transmits the designated identifier information and the created process data object to the CANopen network,
- wherein the master device or the second PLC slave device receives the transmitted process data object if a corresponding communication object identifier for data reception matches the communication object identifier included in the identifier information, and
- wherein the first PLC slave device designates a matching communication object identifier for the second PLC slave device and master device and transmits the created process data object to the second PLC slave device and the master device at the same time based on the matching communication object identifier.
A method for controlling a programmable logic controller (PLC) device using a control area network (CAN) open (CANopen) network, the method comprising:
- connecting a first programmable logic controller (PLC) slave device, a second PLC slave device, and a master device to the CANopen network;
- creating a process data object for transmission by the first PLC slave device;
- designating identifier information including a communication object identifier for data reception of the created process data object by the connected second PLC slave device or master device;
- transmitting the designated identifier information and the created process data object to the CANopen network by using the first PLC slave device;
- and
- receiving the process data object by using the connected master device or second PLC slave device,
- wherein receiving the created process data object comprises the master device and second PLC slave device receiving process data at the same time when the communication object identifier of the master device matches the communication object identifier of the second PLC slave device.
