CANopen
General
CANopen is an open, non-proprietary network protocol. It consists
of a profile family, based on a communication profile and several
device profiles. The CANopen communication profile is standard-
ized as CiA DS-301 (Application Layer and Communication Profile).
The CANopen device profile for I/O-modules has been published as
CiA DS-401 (Device Profile for I/O-Modules).
CANopen is based on the following standards:
ISO 11 898 (Physical and Data Link Layer)
Layers 1 and 2 of the ISO/OSI communication model
CiA DS-301 (Application Layer and Communication Profile)
C ANopen communication profile
CiA DS-302 (Framework for Programmable CANopen Devices)
CANopen Network Management NMT
CiA DS-401 (Device Profile for I/O-modules)
CiA DS-406 (Device Profile for Encoders)
CANopen device profile for counter modules
CiA DS-102 (CAN Physical Layer for Industrial Applications)
General application in the field sector (connectors and bit rates)
on the basis of ISO 11898
