The flexibility it brings compares to other industrial protocols like Profibus or Profinet, and the excellent communication structure (SDOs, PDOs, etc..) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Perhaps for someone that hasn't been in touch before with a CANOpen the learning curve might be a little tricky (but for the rest, the benefits outweigh the problems). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CANopen integrated services for network management (NMT), publish-subscribe model using PDO, and client-server model using SDO for large data transfers and runtime configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Difficult to estimate latency and jitter for data transfers between the nodes. if there are hard real-time constraints, synchronous PDO transfers shall be used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SDO, PDO and very clear objects classification Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes there are too many objects and certain designers abuse it by adding too many custom objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Openness and possibility of applying for many industries for data communications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CANopen is not scalabe with respect to other bus communication technologies. Physical layer can be made intact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how you can view the status of multiple devices on the single interface. I also like how you can configure nodes from your laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Difficult to get understand the canopen magic interface. Takes some time getting use to. Not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
