CANopen add-on module

1. Introduction

1. Introduction
This manual is intended to provide instructions for the installation and use of the CANopen add-
on module, product code number FDK:085U0228, that can be used in the Siemens Flow
Instruments USM II family of transmitters, which presently includes MAG 6000 and MASS 6000.
The CANopen module is effectively a gateway through which a CANopen master device can have
controlled access to a number of Siemens Flow Instruments USM II signal converter parameters.
This manual is not intended to be a complete tutorial on the CANopen protocol, and it is assumed
the end user already has a general working knowledge of CANopen communications, especially
in respect of master station configuration and operation. However an overview is included in the
following section to explain some of the fundamental aspects of the protocol.
