CO_INIT

The COINIT function block is used to initiate the CANopen protocol and perform the initial configuration of the CANopen network. This function block can adjust parameters related to the CANopen network, such as communication speed, node addresses, timeout values, and other network configurations. Additionally, the COINIT function block enables the initiation of the CANopen network and activation of the network connection.

The CO_INIT function block is necessary during the initialization stage of a control system that intends to exchange data among devices on a CAN network using the CANopen protocol. This function block ensures proper configuration of the CANopen network and performs the required initialization processes as per the CANopen protocol.
