About CANOpen and CAN-FD
The motor will use the CANOpen protocol. CANOpen is a widely used protocol in industrial automation, with many tutorials and open-source libraries available online, for example CANOpen Tutorial. This tutorial will use https://github.com/CANopenNode/CANopenLinux to demonstrate SDO read and write operations. We will not explain CANOpen itself. If you cannot master the CANOpen protocol, please consider purchasing a Maver-L4 set that includes a main controller, rather than purchasing a PCW module separately.
In addition, to support one-to-many control and send longer CAN frames, this requires you to correctly set parameters such as sjw, dsjw, sample-point, and dsample-point. We have pre-confirmed that after correct settings, the CAN bus has no communication issues. If you choose to purchase a PCW module separately, you need to ensure that the CAN-FD device you use supports configuring these parameters.
