Chapter 11: The EDS

The Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) assists CANopen configuration personnel in
determining which objects a CAN slave supports. The EDS has a standard format that is
explained in CiA DS 301, version 4. This document defines an optional read-only object
used to upload the EDS directly from the CAN slave.
ƒ

Object 0x1021 is the EDS, stored as an ASCII string – future implementation

ƒ

Object 0x1022 defines the EDS compression style, which must be 0, for No
compression - future implementation

The EDS is loaded to the internal serial flash memory of the SimplIQ digital servo drive as
part of the firmware download process – future implementation
