Areas of Application
A CANopen Master protocol stack is applied in areas, where CANopen networks are used for industrial communication. Typical areas of application are:
🌐 Industrial Automation:
- Controlling and monitoring of machines and robots
- Communication between different control units (PLC)
🏗️ Building Automation:
- Controlling of heating, ventilation and air condition systems (HVAC)
- Controlling of lighting systems and access
🚢 Maritime and Naval Technology:
- Automation of ship propulsion and navigation systems
🚗 Automotive and Commercial Vehicles:
- Interconnection of control units (ECUs) in vehicles
- Communication between sensors, actors and control units
🚜 Agricultural and Construction machinery:
- Automation of complex machinery (tractors, harvesters)
- Integration of sensors and control systems
🚅 Railway Technology:
- Controlling and monitoring of trains
- Communication between different train components
In these applications the Master stack is responsible for controlling and coordinating the communication within the network and manages all connected devices (CANopen Slaves).
