CAN Node Summary

CAN Node Configuration Attributes

The CAN Node Summary window lists CAN Node attributes in two tab pages: "Config" and "Info."

Configuration Attributes: "Config" Tab Page

The Config window displays the user configurable parameters of CAN.

Save to Flash – Pre-selects the current settings and saves them to flash memory. For more information, please see the Save to Flash section.

View Sub-objects – Shows all sub-objects for CAN Node object. For more information, see Object Summary Windows.

DO Transmission Type – the current state of the digital output bit on the specified CAN node. See MEICanNodeConfig.

AO Transmission Type – the current state of the analog output bit on the specified CAN node. See MEICanNodeConfig.

DI Transmission Type – the current state of the digital input bit on the specified CAN node. See MEICanNodeConfig.

AI Transmission Type – the current state of the analog input bit on the specified CAN node. See MEICanNodeConfig.

Configuration Attributes: "Info" Tab Page

The Info window is not user-configurable.

Node Type – Indicates the type of CANOpen node: I/O or None.

Vendor ID – Vendor ID numbers are unique numbers allocated to each manufacturer of CANOpen nodes. Not all CANOpen nodes support this feature, in which case, these nodes will return zero for this field. MEI CANOpen nodes always return x014Fh. See MEICanNodeInfo.

Product Code – The product code is made up of numbers allocated by each manufacturer to uniquely identify their different types of nodes. Not all CANOpen nodes support this feature, in which case, these nodes will return zero for this field. MEI CANOpen SLICE nodes always return x0204h. See MEICanNodeInfo.

Version Number – Identifies the version of code running on the CANOpen node. See MEICanNodeInfo.

Serial Number – The serial number of the CANOpen node (if available). See MEICanNodeInfo.

DO Count – the number of digital outputs supported on this node. The CANOpen protocol only allows the number of digital inputs and outputs to be interrogated in multiples of eight, i.e. if a node has one digital output the "digitalOutputCount" will return eight.

AO Count – the number of analog outputs supported on this node.

DI Count – the number of digital inputs supported on this node. The CANOpen protocol only allows the number of digital inputs and outputs to be interrogated in multiples of eight, i.e. if a node has one digital output the "digitalOutputCount" will return eight.

AI Count – the number of analog inputs supported on this node.

Health Type – The CANOpen protocol being used to check the health of this node. The health type is either Node Guarding or Heart Beating. See MEICanHealthType.

Status Attributes: "Status" Tab Page

Live – the system will either be "live" or "dead."

NMT State – CANOpen protocol Network Management state. See MEICanNMTState.
