A Python implementation of the CANopen standard. The aim of the project is to support the most common parts of the CiA 301 standard in a simple Pythonic interface. It is mainly targeted for testing and automation tasks rather than a standard compliant master implementation.
The library supports Python 3.8 or newer.
The library is mainly meant to be used as a master.
- NMT master
- SDO client
- PDO producer/consumer
- SYNC producer
- EMCY consumer
- TIME producer
- LSS master
- Object Dictionary from EDS
- 402 profile support
Incomplete support for creating slave nodes also exists.
- SDO server
- PDO producer/consumer
- NMT slave
- EMCY producer
- Object Dictionary from EDS
Install from PyPI using :program:`pip`:
$ pip install canopen
Install from latest master on GitHub:
$ pip install https://github.com/christiansandberg/canopen/archive/master.zip
If you want to be able to change the code while using it, clone it then install it in develop mode:
$ git clone https://github.com/christiansandberg/canopen.git $ cd canopen $ pip install -e .
Unit tests can be run using the pytest framework:
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt $ pytest -v
You can also use :mod:`unittest` standard library module:
$ python3 -m unittest discover test -v
Documentation can be found on Read the Docs:
http://canopen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
It can also be generated from a local clone using Sphinx:
$ pip install -r doc/requirements.txt $ make -C doc html
This library supports multiple hardware and drivers through the python-can package. See the list of supported devices.
It is also possible to integrate this library with a custom backend.
Here are some quick examples of what you can do:
The PDOs can be access by three forms:
1st: node.tpdo[n] or node.rpdo[n]
2nd: node.pdo.tx[n] or node.pdo.rx[n]
3rd: node.pdo[0x1A00] or node.pdo[0x1600]
The n is the PDO index (normally 1 to 4). The second form of access is for backward compatibility.
