Our second day-long seminar at the beautiful Warren Conference Center is scheduled for October 8, 2009. Besides the basics of CAN, we plan an increased focus on Ethernet based industrial protocols. We have plans to include workshops on some of the real-time technology available. esd is seeking speakers who would make short, 45 minute to 1 hour, presentations on fieldbus applications, growing and emerging technologies, industry applications or case studies that would appeal to engineers, managers or others concerned with the real issues of implementing fieldbus and/or industrial Ethernet technologies. If you are interested in participating or have suggestions, please follow this link to our page "Call for Papers" for further information.
The Fundamentals of CANopen for Industrial Machine Control
CANopen is an industrial networking system used in
millions of applications worldwide. It is based on Controller Area
Network (CAN) technology, a proven serial bus that links multiple
devices, allowing them to work together.
Optimized for reliability and real-time control, CAN/CANopen is
especially well suited for motion systems consisting of actuators,
sensors, controllers, and analog and digital I/O. It also offers a
competitive edge. Unlike other serial-bus systems, CANopen maintains a
certain level of manufacturer independence through standard device
profiles with layered flexibility.
In this overview of the CANopen specification, we will give designers a
fundamental understanding of the platform, advantages and disadvantages,
and where the standard is headed. We’ll also take a focused look at
device profiles, including an actual multi-networked application, and
explore the various communication layers and how they can be optimized
for industrial control applications.
This webinar will take place on Thursday, March 12th at 2pm ET and will
include a 15-minute Question & Answer Session.
