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

CAN-2054C module follows the CiA DS-301 version 4.02 and DSP-401 version 2.1. You can access the digital I/O status and set the configuration by using standard CANopen protocol. CAN-2054C has passed the validation of the CiA CANopen conformance test tool. Therefore, you can use it with standard CANopen master easily by applying the EDS file. CAN-2054C has isolated sink/source input 8 channel and isolated sink output 8 channel, It can be used to various applications, such as PNP, NPN, TTL, relay contact and so forth. By owing to the CANopen masters of ICP DAS, you can quickly build a CANopen network to approach your requirements.
