The Development Kit CANopen Safety Chip is a powerful package to get into the CANopen safety technology. The kit contains two pre-programmed demo-boards, whereby one contains an example application as sensor and the other as actuator. All components for starting up a CANopen network are included in the kit. You can quickly put the harmonized components into operation. The development kit provides basic experience in working with the CANopen Safety Chip. The accompanying in-depth demo-projects and the comprehensive documentation facilitates your start. Starting with these projects you can implement your own safety applications.

Expandable development boards

Expand the hardware according to your concepts. All signals of the micro-controller are brought out on pin headers. The demo boards include an exemplary circuit of an external watchdog and the simulation of a switch-off device. LEDs signal the function states. The communication between the boards and the PC is done using an USB/CAN interface.

Comprehensive software support

The accompanying version of the CANopen Device Monitor makes it possible to easily configure both CANopen nodes. The likewise accompanying demo-version of the required development environment enables the quick implementation of own user-applications. The CRC checksums required for the safety application are computed by the CRC builder, which registers these immediately in the corresponding hex file.
