Scope of IEEE P1451.6:
This project establishes
a CANopen-based network for multi-channel transducer modules. The
standard defines the mapping of IEEE 1451 TEDS to the CANopen
dictionary entries as well as communication messages, process data,
configuration parameter, and diagnosis information. It adopts the
CANopen device profile for measuring devices and closed-loop
controllers. This project defines an intrinsically safe (IS) CAN
physical layer.
Purpose of IEEE P1451.6:
There are many
implementations of CANopen network interfaces based on the CiA DS
404 device profile. In order to make use of the IEEE 1451 TEDS
concept and to achieve data compatibility from a single-sensor to a
high-performance closed-loop controller, it is necessary to
harmonize the TEDS parameters. The proposed project allows
development of lean gateways and cascaded transducer networks based
on a combined specification of IEEE 1451 and CANopen.
