CANopen is one kind of the network protocols based on the CAN bus and mainly used for embedded control system, such as industrial machine control, vehicle control system, factory automation, medical equipments control, remote data acquisition, environmental monitoring, etc.

The CAN-2053C is an economic stand-along CANopen slave with 16-channel isolated sink/source digital input. It follows the CiA specification DS-301 version 4.02 and DSP-401 version 2.1, and has passed the validation of the CiA CANopen Conformance Test tool. Through the provided EDS file, the CAN-2053C can be easily applied by using standard CANopen master. The multi-function digital input channels can be effective to various applications, such as PNP, NPN, TTL, relay contact and so forth. The function of I/O pair-connection is a special design. You just need to get one CAN-2053C and pick one proper DO module of CAN-2000C series (such as CAN-2057C), adjust the rotary switch of these two modules, and connect them with each other. The digital input single of the CAN-2053C at nearside (as the below illustration: Application 2) will acts to the digital output channel of the remote DO module of CAN-2000C series.
