The I-9123 is a standalone CAN (Controller Area Network) controller, ideal for applications requiring distributed real-time control with high security. It is especially suited for networking intelligent devices, sensors, and actuators within a system or sub-system. Unlike conventional networks, the CAN protocol does not use direct addressing of devices but instead prioritizes messages. The I-9123 offers a cost-effective solution for CANopen applications, acting as a CANopen master device on a CAN bus. It adheres to the CiA 301 v4.02 standard and includes several communication service functions for interacting with slave devices on the network.

The module is equipped with an independent CAN bus communication port with a 5-pin screw terminal connector, supporting a wide range of CANopen applications. It is compatible with many 9000 series PACs, including the WP, XP, AXP, and EMP series, making it versatile for use in industrial automation, building automation, vehicle control, marine systems, and embedded networks.

The CANopen master device also supports CANopen Motion Library, which follows the CiA-402 specification and supports the functions of position control, velocity control, torque control, synchronized control, etc. For more information, please refer to CANopen Motion Library webpage.
