About this Manual CANopen Programmer’s Manual
Object Description Conventions
Object descriptions in this manual look like the samples shown below. Each description includes a
table of summary information.
Sub-Index Object Relationships
This manual describes objects and sub-index objects. Object descriptions are set off by bold type
and a heavy separator line. Sub-index object descriptions have regular typeface and a thinner line.
Sub-index object 0 always contains the number of elements contained by the record.
Object Summary Description Fields

Access The object’s access type:
RO for read only
WO for write only
RW for read and write
RC for read and clear
Units The units used to express the object’s value.
Range The acceptable range of values if less then that specified by Type.
Map PDO YES if the object can be mapped to a PDO. NO if it cannot. EVENT if the object can be mapped and
set to event triggering.

field contains a dash (-).
