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)

πŸ—οΈ 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

πŸš— 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

πŸš… 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).
