CTPS command query

CTPS command query was created by pugwng
I am trying to figure out one way to send TPDO messages only on event (eg. when VARxx changes its value). In order to do that, I have came across a post suggesting to change CTPS configuration to zero in script in order to send the TPDO immediately. I tried this approach, but I realized that once you change one CTPS configurations (eg. for TPDO 1) it sends all 4 TPDOs. Is that an issue, or an expected behavior?
Also, you could implement different transmission type for TPDOs (and/or SYNC).

Also, I just found out that if I set SetConfig(_CTPS, 1, 0), its doesn't send the CURRENT VAR1 / VAR2, but PREVIOUSLY saved values.
Otherwise, if I set SetConfig(_CTPS, 1, 1), it updates the TPDO1 buffer to the LATEST VAR1 / VAR2 values. As I DON'T want burst of messages on my CANBus, I need to re-set CTPS to 0 again.
In order to send TPDO1 by event, differently from the solution proposed in this forum (www.roboteq.com/index.php/support/forum-...for-canopen#29532190), I first tried something like this:
FIRST CODE:
BEGIN:
counter = 0
GoTo TOP
TOP:
SetCommand(_VAR, 1, counter)
If ((counter Mod 10) = 0)
SetConfig(_CTPS, 1, 0)
End If
counter++
wait(500)
GoTo TOP

Hey, this is all expected behavior, and I'm not sure that what you are describing is allowable in CANOpen. In a CANOpen network, you operate with a master device and and slave device, and our controllers are only capable of acting as slave devices in their CANOpen implementation. If you would like to send event driven data over CAN, you will have to implement your own RAWCan frames.
