Data Logging.

You can use DVT to monitor data or parameters of a Sevcon node in real time and graph the
data.

CANopen

This section assumes you have an understanding of CAN and are familiar with its use. If you are
new to CAN or CANopen please refer to the CiA (CAN in Automation) website,
www.can-cia.org for further information.
The following information provides an introduction to the important CANopen terminology used
in this manual and how it relates to the configuration of your Gen4 controller.

CANopen protocol

CANopen is a CAN higher layer protocol and is defined in the DS301 'Application Layer and
Communication Profile' specification. All CANopen devices must adhere to this standard. To
provide greater standardization and interoperability with 3
use the CANopen protocol for communication on its CANbus and meets V4.02 of DS301.
CANopen also supports standardized profiles, which extend the functionality of a device. The
controller supports the following CANopen standardized profiles:

DS401 (V2.1) – Device Profile for Generic I/O Modules

DSP402 (V2.X) – Device Profile for Drives and Motion Control
