In CODESYS, a CANopen Remote Device is a slave device that you insert below a CANopen Manager in the device tree of a project. A distinction is made between modular and non-modular slaves:

  • Modular slaves: You can insert CANopen modules (submodules) below a modular slave. These modules provide a “I/O Mapping” tab to map their inputs and outputs. Modular slaves can also have fixed I/Os. Then these devices also provide the “I/O Mapping” tab. Modular devices provide the “Configure PDO mapping automatically” option, which we recommend for standard applications. You find this option in the “CANopen Remote Device” dialog, on the “General” tab.

  • Non-modular slaves: You cannot insert additional modules below a non-modular device. The inputs and outputs of these devices are mapped in the “I/O Mapping” dialog. Automatic mapping is not possible here.
