ICP DAS New ProductĄGI-8123W CANopen Master Module
 
 
CANopen, a simple and open network, efficiently reduces both wiring cost and system configuration process. Based on CANopen standard, users can quickly integrate the CANopen slaves comes from the different manufacturers all over the world. Through the ICP DAS new CANopen Master module, I-8123W expands one-port CANopen master interface on ViewPAC and WinPAC MCU (main control unit) to implement an complete CANopen network. In addition, the I-8123W also provides the CANopen slave functions for other CANopen masters to obtain the IO data of the ViewPAC and WinPAC MCU. By combining the features of the I-8123W with ViewPAC and WinPAC MCU, ICP DAS give a more efficient control method and flexible application architecture.
 
The I-8123W built-in with its own CPU. This will effectively reduce the loading of the CPU of ViewPAC or WinPAC MCU, and provide high real-time communication capability in the CANopen network. In order to support various development environments, we provide many demos by embedded Visual C++ 4.0, VB.NET and C#.NET for users. These are very useful to understand the operation procedures of the I-8123W and quickly to implement the CANopen master in a CANopen network. Different from the I-87123, the I-8123W use parallel communication method. This will enhance the communication speed between MCU and the I-8123W. By the full range of the CANopen slaves and gateways products from ICP DAS, you can simply set up a flexible CANopen control system to communicate other sensors and actuators with different protocols.
