source address mode (SAM)

In the SAM mode of a CANopen MPDO, a multiplexer (16-bit index and 8-bit sub­ index of an object) refers to the MPDO producer. The MPDO producer may use a scanner list (objects to be sent). The MPDO consumers may use a dispatcher list showing which source multiplexer references to which destination multiplexer.
