Identity object is now supported

New: The new CANopen identity object 0x1018 is now supported. It provides the following information about the device:

Sub-index 1: vendor ID. Beckhoff has vendor ID 2

Sub-index 2: Product Code BK5120: 0x11400; BK5110: 0x113F6; LC5100: 0x113EC; IPwxyz-B510: 0x2wxyz; IL2301-B510: 0x2008FD.

Sub-index 3: revision number

Sub-index 4: Production date low word, high byte: calendar week (dec), low byte: calendar year

Advantage: Additional, vendor-independent information about the device is available.

Effects of using new Bus Couplers in existing networks: None

New: The default identifier for the guarding and heartbeat protocol can no longer be changed.

Advantage: Unambiguous allocation of the associated CAN frames to the node addresses

Effects of using new Bus Couplers in existing networks: Only if the guarding identifier was changed.

New: Object 0x1004 (number of PDOs) is no longer supported in CANopen version 4.0, since it was not sufficiently meaningful.

Advantage: reduced memory requirement. The CANopen conformance test can only be passed without object 0x1004.

Effects of using new Bus Couplers in existing networks: Only if the number of PDOs was determined via object 0x1004.

New: The watchdog for SNYC monitoring is now set to 1,5 times the value in object 0x1006.

Advantage: The designated SYNC interval can now be entered in object 0x1006.

Effects of using new Bus Couplers in existing networks: none
