Description

This Speedgoat API function reads CANopen Electronic Data Sheets (EDS) and autogenerates a communication interface in Simulink ready for use with the IO644 CANopen Slave I/O module. During runtime, the module simulates the device the EDS file represents and allows data to be exchanged with devices connected to the I/O module, such as the CANopen master.

According to the objects defined in the EDS file, the function places the IO644 Setup, PDO and Object driver blocks into the model and automatically sets the block parameters according to the objects' data types and values.

Examples

Autogenerate the Simulink model by selecting the EDS file using the file dialog:

speedgoat.model.createFromEds

Autogenerate the Simulink model by specifying the EDS file as an argument:

speedgoat.model.createFromEds('FileName', 'MyCanOpenDevice.eds')

Prevent two objects from being represented by Object blocks in the model and in the resulting object dictionary during runtime:

speedgoat.model.createFromEds(___, 'ExcludeObjects', [0x6040, 0x6041])

Input Arguments

Name-Value Pair Arguments: 'FileName' - Name of the EDS file including the file extension [character vector]. Pass the file name if the corresponding directory is the current working directory or is included in the MATLAB path. Otherwise, pass the full or relative path of the file.

'CanNodeId' - CANopen Node ID [numeric]. The address of the device in the CANopen network in the range 1 to 127. The number is passed to the CAN Node ID parameter of the Setup block created. If not defined, the default Node ID is 1.

'ModuleId' - Module ID [numeric]. The Module ID of the relevant IO644 I/O module. The number is passed to the Module ID parameter of all the IO644 driver blocks added to the model. If not defined, the default Module ID is 1.

'ExcludeObjects' - Objects to be excluded from the object dictionary created [numeric vector]. The object indices for which no Object blocks should be added to the model.
