Where is the EDS checker gone?

The CANopen EDS (electronic data-sheet) checker developed and supported by Vector Informatik has been updated and reviewed. It is not more available as stand-alone tool. It is now integrated into CiA’s CANopen conformance test tool. The very same EDS checker is also embedded in some demo-versions of Vector tools (download center) as well as the full versions.

In order to pre-test the profile-specific parameters of the EDS, you need additional CODBs. The responsible CiA technical groups have approved the following CODBs:

  • CANopen I/O profile (CiA 401 version 3.1.0)
  • CANopen encoder profile (CiA 406 version 4.0.0)
  • CANopen inclinometer profile (CiA 410 version 1.3.0)
  • CANopen Lift profile (CiA 417-2 version 2.1.0 and CiA 417-4 version 2.1.0)
  • CANopen contrast media injector profile (CiA 425 version 2.2)
  • CANopen subsea profile (CiA 443 version 2.1.0)

Other CODBs are edited, but not yet approved by the responsible CiA technical group:

  • Additional CANopen functions (CiA 302-2, CiA 302-3, CiA 302-4, CiA 302-5, and CiA 302-6 (all version 4.1.0) as well as CiA 302-7 version 1.0.0 and CiA 302-9 version 1.0.0)
  • CANopen drive profile (CiA 402-2 and CiA 402-3 version 3.1.0 equivalent with IEC 61800-7-201:2008 and IEC 61800-7-301:2008)
  • CANopen transducer profile (CiA 404-1 version 1.3.0)
  • CANopen fluid power profile (CiA 408 version 1.5.0)
  • CANopen truck gateway profile (CiA 413-1, CiA 413-2, and CiA 413-3 (all version 2.0.0) as well as CiA 413-5 version 1.0.0 and CiA 413-6 version 1.0.0)
  • CANopen sensor profile for construction machines (CiA 415 version 1.0.1)
  • CANopen building door profile (CiA 416 version 1.0)
  • CANopen battery profile (CiA 418 version 1.0.1)
  • CANopen charger profile (CiA 419 version 1.0.1)
