PCANopen Magic ProS is a professional grade CANopen development and simulation tool, indispensable for assisting in the development and debugging of CANopen based networks. Using PCANopen Magic ProS, a CANopen network may be monitored, configured, simulated and analyzed. Timings of message transmissions can be observed, allowing comparison against network specifications. Nodes may be quickly and easily configured and test messages generated with a minimum of effort.

The simulation system supports the real time execution on a PC of the CANopen stacks MicroCANopen Plus and MicroCANopen Classic. Simulated nodes can be monitored and controlled, with process data visualisation. In addition simulated nodes can communicate with each other and with real nodes, allowing development and testing of CANopen networks before hardware is available.
