7.4.5.1 Node Guarding<br />

<strong>CANopen</strong> <strong>Basics</strong><br />

<strong>CANopen</strong> provides two mechanisms to ensure that the<br />

bus stations are fully functional.<br />

This mechanism is controlled by the NMT master to cyclically<br />

check if the NMT slaves are still able to communicate.<br />

It involves the NMT master sending out messages to<br />

the NMT slaves that the slaves must respond to by returning<br />

their communication status within the set timeout. This<br />

enables the NMT master to realise if a unit fails. On the<br />

other hand, a NMT slave realises if the NMT master has<br />

not requested its devices status for longer than its Life<br />

Time.<br />
