IEC 61131-3 Runtime System
and Development Environment with CANopen Support
Based on the cooperation between IXXAT and KW-Software, the IEC 61131-3 compliant runtime environment ProConOS and the develompment environment Multiprog are now offered with CANopen support.
Main feature of this solution is a full integration of the CANopen manager (master) into ProConOS and the CANopen configuration tool in Multiprog. In comparison to other solutions, ProConOS and the CANopen manager can be integrated on one CPU with internal CAN controller. Thus a wide range of CANopen features for configuration, monitoring and data exchange is offered with respect to CiA301 and CiA302. Besides of the reduction of hardware costs, a single CPU based solution offers considerable advantages regarding performance and functionality.
