Renesas and Vector Informatik cooperate on CANopen software for industrial Ethernet controllers
Renesas has today announced that it has collaborated with Vector Informatik to offer comprehensive software support for its multi-protocol industrial Ethernet solutions. Enabling easy access to CANopen technology and a fast market entry, Vector Informatik has implemented its CANopen stack on the Renesas Industrial Network (R-IN) devices.
Five times more efficient in Ethernet packet processing and reducing the overall power consumption by 50%, Renesas’ R-IN32M3 multi-protocol industrial Ethernet solutions feature a revolutionary hardware accelerator design. Limiting the impact on the overall power dissipation while offering the most robust implementation, EtherCAT and CC-Link IE real-time protocols are implemented in hardware.
Software based protocols like EtherNet/IP, PROFINET RT, and Modbus TCP run on the ARM Cortex M3 processor with 1.3MB embedded RAM attached. The R-IN devices include Ethernet PHYs, various fieldbus interfaces and multiple peripheral modules, thanks to the high degree of integration.
A CAN-based protocol, CANopen is a standard for open networking of sensors, actuators and controllers in the industrial field. Many years of experience in this field have given Vector an extensive know-how. Using Vector’s CANopen implementation, users can achieve significant time savings. The user can concentrate on the integration of the application. Enabling a secure and CANopen-compliant implementation of the project, the code corresponds to the most recent version of the CANopen DS-301 communication profile.
