CANeds
The EDS Generator for CANopen Systems
The editor/generator CANeds is a tool for creating and testing EDS files. CANeds takes over the difficult and error-prone task of creating EDS files manually. CANeds enables device manufacturers and system integrators to avoid problems when working with corresponding CANopen configuration programs.
CANeds provides the following functions:
- Creation of new EDS files
- Modification of EDS files
- Testing of EDS files
- Scanning of devices, with EDS files generated semi-automatically
Creating EDS files is very easy due to the ability of accessing standard objects and their attributes via CiA-CODB databases. CANeds displays the structure of an EDS in a hierarchical tree structure (see figure) and represents CANopen object attributes such as object and data types symbolically.
CANeds available as freeware
- CANeds is integrated in the proven development tools CANoe.CANopen and CANalyzer.CANopen. CANeds is available free-of-charge as a stand-alone EDS editor with a full range of features.
