1.1 About the CANopen® Implementation
The PCAN-MicroMod I/O modules fall into the category of off-theshelf
CANopen generic I/O devices. The CANopen software package
for these modules implements the following CiA standards:
CiA® 301 “CANopen Application Layer and Communication
Profile” version 4.02
CiA® 401 “CANopen Device Profile for Generic I/O Modules”
version 2.1
By loading the appropriate firmware into the modules, they can be
directly used as standardized CANopen generic I/O modules.
The EDS files (Electronic Data Sheet) provided along with the firmware
were tested with their corresponding module for CANopen
conformance using the official CANopen conformance tests.
1.2 Scope of Supply

PCAN-MicroMod and can be downloaded as part of the PCAN-
MicroMod package from www.peak-system.com.

manual in PDF format. Furthermore, a flash tool for loading the
firmware into a MicroMod is included.
1.3 Hardware and Software Requirements
The CANopen firmware is loaded into a PCAN-MicroMod using the
