Have used CANopen both on CAN and over Ethercat. Protocol should work 
really well with Linuxcn though performance of course depends on the drive.


If configuration is needed SDO is used to access dictionary. Could also 
be used to read out information. A .eds or .dcf file for CANopen and 
.esi file for Ethercat to get names on the indexes and subindexes.


For periodic communication PDO messages are used, velocity or position 
depending on drive and/or selected modes of operation. Then using in 
Linuxcnc If using over CAN there is also a special sync message.



Drives usually have a builtin PID regulator. Not certain if they use to 
have builtin homing sequence but it is not important since there is 
builtin homing sequence in Linuxcnc which will work also if home switch 
for some reason is connected on other input than the drive.

But this should be added to the docs really I think.  It explains the
concepts so well and make a real head scratcher painless.
