CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial
communication protocol that was
originally developed for the
automobile industry. CANopen, a higher layer
protocol based on CAN,
provides the means to apply the
ingenious CAN features to a variety of industrial-strength applications. Many users, for example in the field of medical engineering, opted for CANopen because they have to meet particularly stringent safety requirements. Providing a detailed look at both CAN and CANopen, this book examines those technologies in the context of embedded networks. There is an overview of general embedded networking and an introduction to the primary functionality provided by CANopen. Everything one needs to know to configure and operate a CANopen network using off-the-shelf components is described, along with details for those designers who want to build their own CANopen nodes. The wide variety of applications for CAN and CANopen is discussed, and instructions in developing embedded networks based on the protocol are included. Olaf Pfeiffer is a cofounder of the Embedded Systems Academy, conducts CAN and CANopen training classes, and consults clients on their embedded networking requirements. He is a regular speaker at the Embedded Systems Conference, the Real-Time and Embedded Computing show, and at the International CAN Conference. Andrew Ayre is a tutor and consultant specializing in embedded software engineering and is responsible for all PC-based software developments including PCANopen Magic at the Embedded Systems Academy. He has taught classes at Embedded University, Future University, the Real-Time and Embedded Computing Conferences and the Embedded Systems Conference.Christian Keydel is a director of the Embedded Systems Academy, where he supervises new class development and consults clients on embedded technologies including CAN and CANopen. He is a frequent speaker at the Embedded Systems Conferences and the Real-Time and Embedded Computing Conferences..
