service data object (SDO)

The SDO is a confirmed communication service that provides access to all entries in the CANopen object dictionary. An SDO uses two 8-byte CAN messages with different identifiers. The SDO may transmit segmented any amount of data. Each segment (segmented SDO) or a number of segments (SDO block transfer) is confirmed.
