Hello,
I am a beginner in CANopen. I have looked at the examples from the PLCnext store, but I can't find a way to include my EDS files. Can someone help?

    Hi Roberto,

    it is not possible to import EDS files into PLCnext Engineer, the complete configuration is done via the functionblocks.

    Those blocks represents the transparent CAN layer and is therefore also compatible to all other CAN compatible protocols.
    The functionblock contains some very useful examples how they can be used.

    However, as it is a very open implementation is a certain CAN knowledge absolut necessary.

    Depending on your skillset it might be useful to contact your local sales representitive for an introcution workshop...

    Have a great week,
    Frank

    Hello Frank,

    I wanted to see if the no support for Eds files is still a thing. I just acquired a Starter kit with a IF can module and want to connect a stepper motor but was unable to find where to insert my EDs file
