Renesas SDK1725 development platform now available with CANopen development tools

LONDON, UK - March 3rd, 2009

Renesas Technology Europe and port GmbH today announced the launch of a SDK1725 starter kit specifically for the development of dual CAN/CANopen applications. Comprising the CANopen stack and CANopen development tools from port GmbH, and Renesas' H8SX/1725F-based microcontroller starter kit the combination is ideal for developing a variety of safety critical applications.

Renesas' H8SX/1725F is a high-performance and high-reliability device with a split zero-wait 12.5ns access speed MONOS*1 Flash module. The device also includes 256KByte high speed Flash for code and 16KByte high endurance Flash for data combined with strong peripheral resources as Dual CAN, 4 x SPI, flexible timer blocks, all based around a 32bit CISC CPU running up to 80 MHz.

"By joining together the H8SX/1725 microcontroller and the extremely reliable CANopen middleware from port GmbH makes this combination a perfect fit for safety critical medical and industrial applications" says Guenter Plechinger, product marketing engineer Renesas Technologies Europe.

CANopen is a leading protocol for embedded distributed designs and is in use across many application sectors such as medical, automation, sensor, measurement, and motion control. The H8SX/1725 CANopen Library provides all the services necessary to provide CANopen communications that are compliant with the CiA 301 V 4.2 communication profile. It facilitates the fast and easy development of master and slave devices, and is able to serve one or two of the CAN Controllers within the H8SX/1725 microcontroller. Written completely in ANSI-C, it can be compiled with every ANSI-C compliant compiler. Each version of the CANopen Library is tested against the latest CANopen conformance tests to maintain compliance with the standard.

"The combination of the H8SX/1725 SDK Starter kit in and a functional version of our CANopen stack and CANopen development tools provides customers with probably the most powerful solution available today", says Heinz-Jürgen Oertel, CEO at port GmbH.

In addition to an evaluation version of the CANopen software, the H8SX/1725 SDK comes with Renesas' E10A debugger, Renesas C compiler and High-performance Embedded Workshop. More information on the CANopen development support tools for Renesas microcontrollers is available at Renesas.

POWERLINK Starter Kit certifiacted

Our POWERLINK Starter Kit was confirmed as POWERLINK certificated by the EPSG in the middle of June 2009.

Our CANopen Design Tool...

is a tool for rapid and cost-saving development of CANopen applications (devices) using our CANopen Library. It administers device databases, from which an object dictionary and an initialization function in C-code, an Electronic Data Sheet and the documentation are produced automatically. Furthermore it simplifies the configuration of the CANopen Library and of the CANopen Driver [...]

The CANopen Device Monitor...

is a tool for the graphical inspection and configuration of CANopen devices in a CANopen network. The embedded scripting ability makes it possible to access the implemented CANopen services and to write test or control applications with a minimum of effort. The information on how to display the device object dictionary is obtained from the EDS file [...]
