CANopenEditor

CANopenEditor is a fork from https://github.com/robincornelius/libedssharp, author Robin Cornelius. Its homepage is https://github.com/CANopenNode/CANopenEditor

CANopen Object Dictionary Editor:

Imports: CANopen electronic data sheets in EDS or XDD format.
Exports: CANopen electronic data sheets in EDS or XDD format, documentation, CANopenNode C source files.
GUI editor for CANopen Object Dictionary, Device information, etc.

CANopen is the internationally standardized (EN 50325-4) (CiA301) higher-layer protocol for embedded control system built on top of CAN. For more information on CANopen see http://www.can-cia.org/

CANopenNode is free and open source CANopen Stack

This is the main branch with sources. For binaries see the build branch or download latest CANopenEditor-build.zip.

EDSSharp

A C# CanOpen EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) library and GUI editor

This application is designed to load/save/edit and create EDS/DCF/XDC file for CanOpen and also to generate the object dictionary for CanOpenNode CO_OD.c and CO_OD.h) to aid development of CanOpenNode devices.

EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files are text files that define CanOpen Devices. DCF (Device Configuration File) files are text files that define configured CanOpenDevices XDD files are an XML version of EDS files

EDS/DCF are fully defined in the DSP306 standard by the can open standards body CiA.

The EDS editor on its own is useful without the CanOpenNode specific export and as of the 0.6-XDD-alpha version the editor can also load/save XDD files. The GUI also shows PDO mappings and can generate reports of multiple devices that are loaded into the software.

The core library can be used without the GUI to implement eds/xdd loading/saving and parsing etc in other projects.

Please consider this code experimental and beta quality. It is a work in progress and is rapidly changing.

Every attempt has been made to comply with the revelant DSP306 and other standards and esd files from multile sources have been tested for loading and saving as been (at times) validated for errors using EDS conformance tools.

With many thanks to the following contributors for spotting my mistakes and improving the code

Library

Read EDS/DCF/XDC file and parse contents to approprate classes
Dump EDS/DCF classes via ToString()
Save EDS/DCF classes back to EDS file
Export C and H files in CanOpenNode format CO_OD.c and CO_OD.h
EDS/DCF supports modules
EDS/DCF supports compactPDO (read only) 1*
EDS/DCF supports implict PDO (read only) 1*
EDS/DCF supports CompactSubOb (read only) 1*
Supports loading/saving of all EDS/DCF module information

1* read only in this context means the EDS/DCF is fully expanded but the compact forms is not written back, only the expanded form will be saved.

GUI

Open multiple devices
Open EDS/DCF/XDC files
Save EDS/DCF/XDC files
View OD Entries and explore the Object Dictionary
Add new OD entries
Delete exisiting OD entries
Create new Devices
Add default profiles
Create profiles that can be added to any project (just save the device xml file to the profiles/ directory, only include the minimum number of objects that you want to auto insert) This will auto add to insert menu
Edit Device and File Info sections
Set RX/TX PDO mappings easily from dropdown lists of avaiable objects
Add and remove new PDO entries (communication paramaters and mapping) in a single button push
Save groups of EDS/XML files as a network objects with abality to set concrete node IDs
View report of all configured PDO across the network
View modules and module details present within EDS files
View/edit actual object values for device configuring/DCF files
Support for loading XDD files (CanOpen offical XML)
Support for saving XDD files (CanOpen offical XML)
Some module info is displayed in GUI showing avaiable modules (eds) and configured modules (dcf) and what OD entries they reference. Full details such as subobj extension and fixed subobj are not currently displayed and unless there is demand probably will not ever be.

TODO

Ensure and validate all XDD is loading/save correctly (Looking good so far)
Add extra Gui fields for accessing extra XDD paramaters not in EDS (all common ones are done, a few special/edge cases remain)
Look at XDC files and see if we can save config changes and allow editing and network setup here in the app, partial support is implemented by supporting DCF files
