Beckhoff Automation tf6650

The TwinCAT 3 function enables the reading of DBC file formats (.dbc). The DBC data format is a CAN network description and allows the definition of attributes as well as the assignment of these attributes to the elements of a network. DBC files are text files that contain e.g. scaling information for CAN data and signal definitions. The TF6650 function can be used for data import and pre-processing according to the parameters that are stored in the DBC file. As an additional function, network nodes can also be simulated according to the DBC files. The function uses the EL6751 CANopen master terminal or the CCAT-based CANopen masters as hardware interface.
