UNIGATE IC is a complete Single Chip CANOpen solution in a 32 pin DIL (dual
in-line) package. With a space of 45 x 25 mm the Unigate IC
contains all required components: microcontroller, Flash, RAM,
CAN controller and bus interface components, e. g. optocoupler
and bus driver. The UNIGATE IC is to be connected to the
microprocessor of your design or it can be operated Stand-Alone.
The Unigate IC CANOpen is certified and proven through testing
with applications and many commercially available CANOpen
masters. The integrated microprocessor handles the complete
CANOpen data traffic and removes the burden from the attached
processor. The protocol between the Unigate IC and the attached
processor is handled using a Script. This Script is generated
with the free PC-tool Protocol Developer and it is optimally
adjusted to the final product and the requirements of the
CANOpen Master. The hardware and software interfaces of the
Unigate IC modules are standardized, thus they are
interchangeable without changing any hardware or software.

CUSTOM PROTOCOLS:
The Unigate IC CANOpen
allows for the quick development of custom applications using
its powerful scripting language. When developing a custom
application, or for simple configuration to a standard protocol, we recommend
using a Starter Kit. Starter
kits contain a development board with the Unigate IC and all the connection cables and power supplies for configuring and/or
scripting. There is even a CANOpen Configuration
tool for testing your configuration or script. Scripts are written using the
Protocol Developer Tool. If you need a custom protocol and
scripting is not for you, Grid Connect offers scripting services at reasonable
rates (call for details).
