CANopen is a kind of network protocol based on CAN bus and has been used in various applications, such as vehicles, industrial machines, building automation, medical devices, maritime applications, restaurant appliances, laboratory equipment & research.
ICP DAS has been developing CAN based-CANopen protocol products for several years. Include PCI interface, gateway, CANopen IO and CANopen module for ICP DAS’s PACs-WinCon /WinPAC/LinCon/I-8K. We also help customers to resolve various CANopen network technology problems. In addition, we can provide CANopen solutions for users.

CANopen is a CAN-based application layer protocol. It was developed as a standardized embedded network with highly flexible configuration capabilities. CANopen was designed for motion-oriented machine control networks, such as handling systems. By now it is used in many various fields, such as medical equipment, off-road vehicles, maritime electronics, public transportation, building automation, etc.
The CANopen specifications cover application layer and communication profile, as well as a framework for programmable devices, recommendations for cables, connectors, SI units, and prefix representations. The application-layer as well as the CAN-based profiles are implemented in software.
