In order to fit the requirements of more and more various applications, the firmware and driver of the I-87123 is updated now. It supports more useful functions for constructing, diagnosing, and applying CANopen networks, such as the EDS file implementation, large data SDO Upload Segment protocol, and large PDO data transmission. The new firmware allows you to pre-add the slaves not exist in the CANopen network yet into the I-87123 memory. It is useful to reserve the network expansibility. Once the slaves connect to the CANopen network and send the boot-up messages, the I-87123 can automatically connect these slaves according to the configuration before. Besides, the new firmware and driver provide the CANopen master tool, CPMUtility software. You can free download the CPMUtility from ICP DAS website for diagnosing, monitoring and controlling the CANopen networks.
The new version (version 2.02) firmware and driver are not compatible with old one (version 1.xx), so we also has provided the document to help you transfer your old I-87123 project to fit the new firmware and driver. |
