CANopen diagnostics for machinery

Where: Remote sessions › Diagnostics › Read vehicle › CANopen diagnostics for machinery, and in the app, Vehicles › Read vehicle

1. Connect the ECO-LITE unit to the machine's CANopen bus, with the pinout documented by the manufacturer.
2. Tick “CANopen diagnostics for machinery” and choose the connection (CAN 6/14 or 3/11), the bit rate (125, 250, 500 or 1000 kbit/s) and the node number (1 to 127).
3. The unit listens to the bus for a moment (node state and emergencies) and then reads standard objects only: device type, error register, manufacturer identity and error history (up to 8 entries).
4. Check the result: node state (heartbeat), emergencies with their last frame and, for each object, whether it was read, rejected by the node or not answered.

• It is read only: it does not clear the history, does not change the node state and sends no motion commands. That is why it cannot be combined with “Clear faults” or with automatic diagnosis.
• The result does not certify that the machine is fault-free: many machines keep their codes in manufacturer objects that this read does not interpret.
• SDO abort codes are shown as they are (for example, 0x6020000: the object does not exist on that node).
• The report carries the mandatory mark with the tool's name, like any other read.
