Re: [Emc-users] CANopen over Ethernet CiA 309

[John D. <jo...@au...>]

Honestly I'm still confused.  
I know what  TCP/IP gateway can be as an interface to all kinds of physical
devices or networks.  
I understand that LinuxCNC  is used to control machines.

I have no idea what a "standard configuration software" is.

I've suggested that a tool changer could be built or rebuilt to use CANopen
devices.  

There are some nice modular Touch Screens available that use CANopen or
J1939.  In fact we use one in our mobile equipment.
We also use Inclinometers, Battery Chargers and even StepServo motors with a
CANopen interface.
I've just finished a 250W power supply that is controlled by CANopen and
reports the various voltages and currents etc.

So perhaps you could give some examples of why we would even want a TCP/IP
gateway to CANopen?
Thanks
