Hello
I'm dipping my toe into CANOpen; so far I'm really liking a lot of things about it.
As it's pretty new to me, I'd like to have your opinion on something...
I'm doing some tests with a VSD which has a native CANOpen interface. The drive Produces a Heartbeat message, which means the master can recognise/react if it disappears.
It doesn't however seem to consume a Heartbeat from the master meaning it doesn't know if I've pulled out the cable - drive continues to happily run...
Is this normal for a CANOpen slave? Is it something that some slaves support and some don't? As I've had little exposure, I'm not sure what the norms are.
Thanks team
