CANopen Seminar
One-Day Seminar for Developers and Decision-makers
The CAN-based higher protocol “CANopen” enables communication between CAN devices of different manufacturers. For this, CANopen provides, among other things, standardized communication mechanisms and device descriptions via profiles. The implementation of CANopen devices and systems is decisively supported by the availability of powerful CANopen tools, stacks and devices.
Target Group and Objectives
The target audience of the seminar are developers and system designers who have to conduct their own CANopen developments and want an efficient, solid introduction to CANopen, as well as decision-makers who want to assess the potential of CANopen. Participation in our CAN seminar is recommended as a basis for attending the CANopen seminar if relevant know-how has not already been acquired.
