Curtis Model 3301T Digital Instrumentation – September 2021
The 3301T complies with the CAN in Automation (CiA) CANopen DS 301 specification. This chapter
describes the 3301T's CANopen features.
Some familiarity with CANopen is a prerequisite. For CANopen information, see the following pages

BYTE AND BIT SEQUENCE ORDER

CANopen message byte sequences are transmitted with the least significant byte first (little-
endian format).
Note: This manual uses the LSB 0 Numbering convention when referring to byte and bit numbers.
For example, the following table shows an SDO that writes the data 04E2h to the object with the
index and sub-index 334C-01h:
Strings are read from left to right. The following example shows how the 3301T transmits an SDO
segment for the string "3301T-7":
Bit sequences are transmitted from most significant to least significant bit (big-endian format). The
following example shows how the 3301T transmits the bits for the value 2Bh:
