CANopen is the standardized CAN-based higher-layer protocol for embedded networks (EN 50325-4). The information provided will enable development engineers and system integrators to judge if CANopen is suitable for their application. Participants receive a detailed insight to the technical opportunities of the basic and of additional protocols. Important aspects of system design are going to be discussed. CiA trainers will also explain the CANopen device and application profiles that enable to manufacture devices with a high degree of “plug-and-play” capability.

Participants should be familiar with the basics of the CAN protocol.
