CAN communication to CAN2060C

------Question for CAN-2060C Please Put your question below------

I am using IXAAT cananalyzer to talk to CAN2060C. I changed the node id to 30. I am able to turn on / off digital outs (for example sending 2F 00 62 01 01 00 00 00 to can id 0x61E to turn on output 1). What is the can commands to read the state of the digital outputs?

Hi tom.ziegler,

Preface: Not an expert in CANopen protocol.

Looking at the Object Dictionary of the CAN-2060C starting on page 12 of the User’s Manual, I am not seeing any index number for reading the values of the Output registers themselves.

The index number 6000h sub index 1 will allow you to read values of Input pins, but I’m not clear on whether this affects the function of the I/O pin (whether it converts an Output to an Input in the process). If it does not affect it, then this would seem to be the means of reading it.

The manual claims to follow the CiA 301 ver. 4.02 and CiA 401 ver.2.1, so reading documentation regrading these standards may prove beneficial.

From page 16 of the fore-mentioned User’s Manual:
