CAN in Automation (CiA) is the international users' and
manufacturers' group for the CAN network (Controller Area
Network), internationally standardized in the ISO 11898 series.
CANopen is a CAN-based communication system. The CANopen
design was originally for motion-oriented machine control systems,
such as factory handling system.
Today, CANopen sees usage in various application fields, such as medical
equipment, off-road vehicles, maritime electronics, railway applications, or
building automation. References include CiA 301, 303-1, etc.
The Curtis controllers are designed to use the CANopen features.
The Curtis Integrated Toolkit
software program for configuring and communicating with Curtis
Instruments products. Use CIT to program (change and edit parameters,
etc.) the Controller. See Appendix D for programming, monitoring, and
diagnostic software and toolsets.
Input/Output. I/O generally refers to the controller AMPSEAL
connector's input signals or switches, output signals, power, or low-
side drivers. Controllers with different AMPSEAL pin-counts have
different I/O assignments.
The object dictionary is essentially a table that stores configuration and
process data. The CANopen standard defines a 16-bit index and an 8-bit
sub-index. The object dictionary is the method by which CANopen
devices communicate. Every parameter and monitor variable has its own
unique CAN Object Index. The parameter and monitor tables list each
item's CAN Object Index.
5 Interlock switch assignment.
[PCF] Using the available switch inputs, select the digital input
number that the interlock will use. The available switches
depends upon the controller and application. For example,
Switch 5 (pin 9) = INTERLOCK in Figure 13.
Set this parameter to 0 to allow VCL control of interlock.
To enable interlock with KSI turn-on, set the input source
to switch 20 (the Keyswitch Input).
Switch_20 = CAN Index 0x3339 0x00
